The recent weakness in the stock market has opened up some buying opportunities in a few key areas. Some stocks have reached the lowest levels seen in years, and savvy investors can scoop up shares for cheap.<\/p>\n
Three stocks that I’ve been eyeing recently are Microsoft<\/strong> (NASDAQ: MSFT)<\/span>, The Trade Desk<\/strong> (NASDAQ: TTD)<\/span>, and Nvidia<\/strong> (NASDAQ: NVDA)<\/span>. I think all three of these are bargain stocks, and by investing now, they could help set you up for life based on the market-beating returns they can produce.<\/p>\n Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire?<\/strong>\u00a0Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an “Indispensable Monopoly” providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The market could reassess these stocks on any day, so investors shouldn’t wait for a better price for this trio; now is the time to act.<\/p>\n Microsoft has had a premium valuation in the tech space since about 2020. However, that premium has been erased over the past few months with general weakness in the tech sector and a poorly received earnings report. I prefer to value Microsoft’s stock using operating profits,<\/a> as it doesn’t include the effects of its investment in OpenAI, which has caused its net income to soar over the past few quarters. From that measure, Microsoft is nearly at the cheapest level it has reached outside of the 2023 sell-off.<\/p>\n What has changed over the past few months? Nothing. Microsoft is still in a dominant position in its industry and just delivered one of its better quarters in terms of growth over that timeframe. It’s rare to get an opportunity like this to buy Microsoft stock, and investors shouldn’t squander it.<\/p>\n The Trade Desk isn’t all green flags like Microsoft is. It has some challenges it’s facing with its ad platform, although it’s still producing strong results. In Q3, The Trade Desk reported 18% year-over-year growth. While this is slower than in previous quarters, it’s still an impressive growth rate. Additionally, its previous year was boosted by Q3 political ad spending, so The Trade Desk had some headwinds it was dealing with now.<\/p>\n For 2026, Wall Street expects 17% revenue growth, so it’s not like The Trade Desk’s entire growth thesis is in the trash. Despite this, The Trade Desk stock is valued at an unbelievably low level. For a mere 13 times forward earnings, you can own a stock growing in the high teens. That’s an absolute bargain, and I think investors can confidently take a position in the stock at this price.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>
