Robert Stimpson has beaten 97% of his peers over the last 3 years. Stimpson is the co-CIO at Oak Associates Funds, which manages $1.4 billion in assets.

For example, he’s stayed away from energy firms despite their outperformance this year and last, because he believes the price of oil will face long-term downward pressure due to the political interests of the US. “We are not afraid to be naked those sectors of the economy we don’t feel are going to be beneficial to own long-term,” said Stimpson, the co-CIO and portfolio manager at Oak Associates Funds, which manages $1.4 billion in assets.

According to reports, parent company Alphabet Inc has requested bids from manufacturers to produce 500,000–1 million Pixel devices. According to a report by The Information, Google is aiming to produce 10 to 20 percent of the estimated annual production for Pixel.

US Gov''t To Broaden Chip Curbs To China, Reuters Says The Biden administration plans to broaden curbs on US exports of semiconductors used for artificial intelligence to China and chipmaking tools, Reuters reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. This comes after the US government recently restricted exports of Nvidia Corp . and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.''s artificial intelligence chips to the country. The Commerce Department is set to publish new export regulations outlined in letters earlier this year to three US companies -- KLA Corp, Lam Research Corp, and Applied Materials Inc, the people said. The letters prohibited the three companies from exporting chipmaking equipment to Chinese companies that manufacture advanced chips with sub-14 nanometer processes unless they obtained a license from the Commerce Department.

Investors seeking shelter from the market selloff are looking for some of the best cash cow stocks. Such a move is not surprising given that robust cash flow becomes more even valuable during economic downturns. For instance, the Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF (BATS: COWZ ) is currently down 6.6% year-to-date (YTD) compared with the 17% loss for the S&P 500 index. The fund has seen assets under management skyrocket from $1.3 billion at the start of 2022 to the current $5.9 billion. Amid the market volatility and interest rate hikes, investors are increasingly focused on businesses with strong cash flows and healthy balance sheets. These firms typically boast positive earnings and generate more cash than they need to run the business. Moreover, they often have flexibility for continued dividend payments and stock repurchases despite macroeconomic headwinds. In addition, the market selloff provides these cash cow stocks with buying opportunities to invest in new growth opportunities at attractive valuations. 7 Best Reddit Stocks to Buy Now With that information, here are seven of the best cash cow stocks that could gain traction in the rest of the year: Ticker Company Price AZO AutoZone, Inc. $2,140.74 BMY Bristol-Myers Squibb Company $73.04 CSCO Cisco Systems, Inc. $44.54 KLAC KLA Corporation $355.04 KR The Kroger Co. $46.22 MCK McKesson Corporation $331.33 MRNA Modern, Inc. $164.92 Best Cash Cow Stocks: Autozone (AZO) Source: Robert Gregory Griffeth / Shutterstock.com 52-week range: $1,503.30 – $2,267.40 Our first cash cow stock is Autozone (NYSE: AZO ), a leading retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts and accessories.
Uncertainty on Wall Street means even the best semiconductor stocks continue to struggle. Shortages remain across the sector while industries from consumer electronics to automotive manufacturing vie for the limited supply. Chipmakers have ramped up production, but the bottleneck comes from a lack of enough fabrication plants, or fabs. Fortunately, semiconductor manufacturers are working to address the issue. Research from SEMI, a global association, highlights , “There are 25 new construction projects of volume fabs in 2022… Fab equipment spending for 2022 is expected to break the $100 billion mark.” For now, however, investors remain wary of semiconductor shares. Exchange-traded funds (or ETFs) tracking the chip sector, such as the Invesco Dynamic Semiconductors ETF (NYSE: PSI ), and the iShares Semiconductors ETF (NASDAQ: SOXX ), have fallen around 36% year-to-date (YTD). In comparison, the S&P 500 Index has dropped 17% over the same period. The ongoing supply-chain crisis is undeniably significant but will likely be alleviated as production begins in the new facilities.
