Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Recent Report Shows That Rep. Rick Allen Bought Up to $65K Worth of Netflix Stock

Thermo Fisher Scientific's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.13% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.74 million shares sold short, which is 1.26% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.96 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Thermo Fisher Scientific Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750258840_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Thermo Fisher Scientific has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Thermo Fisher Scientific's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Thermo Fisher Scientific's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.94%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Thermo Fisher Scientific?

Recent stock trades made by a senator could show conflicts of interest given his committee assignments and ramp up the call to ban members of Congress from being able to buy and sell stocks.
Here's a look at the recent stock trades made by Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).
What Happened: Mullin recently bought stock in several stocks, while also selling a position in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500. The trades are shown on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/markwayne-mullin">Benzinga Government Trades page.</a>
According to a recent disclosure, Mullin bought the following stocks on May 13:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
<li>ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>LPL Financial Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>L3 Harris Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>): $15,000 to $50,000</li>
<li>Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
<li>Zoetis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZTS#NYSE">ZTS</a>): $50,000 to $100,000</li>
</ul>
In the same disclosure, Mullin also reported selling $500,000 to $1 million worth of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.
He reportedly bought between $285,000 and $750,000 in new stock positions, along with total transactions ranging from $785,000 to $1.75 million.
One of the most active stock traders in the Senate, Benzinga shows 325 trades worth $8.47 million, and Quiver Quant <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Markwayne%20Mullin-M001190">shows </a>$15.5 million in trades from Mullin in recent years.
His net worth is listed by Quiver Quant at $65.7 million, with part of the wealth coming from selling businesses before becoming a Congressman from 2013 to 2023 and later a Senator since 2023.
The Senator's purchase of L3 Harris Technologies could raise red flags, given that it is a large defense stock and Mullin <a href="https://www.senate.gov/general/committee_assignments/assignments.htm#MullinOK">sits </a>on the Committee on Armed Services.
The purchase of oil stocks also involves Mullin, who belongs to the Subcommittee on the Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies.
The Republican senator is on numerous committees and could have inside information about government policy and contracts while making his stock transactions.
Mullin denied past conflicts of interest when he owned shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and was set to vote on a potential TikTok ban, which could help Meta.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Mullin's latest trades come as a call to ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks and options is gaining support.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/45077654/bill-named-after-nancy-pelosi-could-ban-congress-members-from-trading-stocks-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-pelosi-act" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> introduced the</a> Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act, based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at Congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Pelosi, whose husband is a frequent stock trader and venture capitalist, likely doesn&#8217;t support the bill that would limit her husband's transactions while she&#8217;s in office.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), also in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45449720/speaker-johnson-backs-congressional-stock-trading-ban-ruined-by-a-few-bad-actors">favor of a ban</a>, said there is zero tolerance for &#8220;anything resembling insider trading.&#8221;
President Donald Trump recently said he would support such a ban and that he would sign the bill if Congress passed it
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.
Benzinga<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45552223/exclusive-congress-trading-ban-sees-huge-support-in-reader-poll-heres-the-percent-that-say-let-them-keep-trading-stocks"> recently polled readers</a> to see where they stand on a potential ban on Congress trading.
&#8220;Should members of Congress be allowed to buy and sell stocks, options and ETFs?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
These were the results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>They should not be allowed to trade stocks, options or ETFs:&nbsp;43%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report within 24 hours:&nbsp;24%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade ETFs and mutual funds:&nbsp;14%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report in 45 days: 11%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade stocks: 8%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 43% of readers support an outright ban on members of Congress being able to trade stocks, options, or ETFs. Eleven percent voted that the current rules should be left alone with a 45-day disclosure window.

$100 Invested In Thermo Fisher Scientific 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

In the current market session, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) price is at $401.51, after a 1.27% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 1.35%, and in the past year, by 30.21%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Comparing Thermo Fisher Scientific P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Thermo Fisher Scientific has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 44.25 of the Life Sciences Tools &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748973629_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) is currently navigating a rare and telling phase in its journey through the Adhishthana Cycle. The stock is in its 18th Phase, simultaneously on both the weekly and monthly charts, a unique alignment that brings a powerful cyclical signal. Yet, while this convergence might appear synchronistic, the behavior across these timeframes paints two vastly different narratives.

TMO is now in the 18th and final phase of the Adhishthana Cycle across both weekly and monthly timeframes. This rare dual alignment signals a transitional moment for the stock, but not without turbulence.

According to the Adhishthana Principles, our proprietary cyclical framework that combines quantitative signals with behavioral archetypes, the structure of Phases 14, 15, and 16, also called the Guna Triads, determines how Phase 18 unfolds.
On the weekly timeframe, TMO's Guna Triads (Phase 14-16) were dominated by Rajoguna and Tamoguna. These archetypes reflect indecision, volatility, and bearish sentiment. In such conditions, the stock typically fails to attain Nirvana, which represents the highest point across the 18-phase cycle.&nbsp;
This explains the consolidation and persistent weakness we have been seeing in TMO since it entered the 18th Phase. So far, it's down by 38%.

In contrast, the monthly charts tell a different story.
Here, the Guna Triads (Phases 14–16) were characterized by Satoguna, the most constructive of the three. This suggests high potential for Nirvana on the monthly timeframe. However, if that's the case, then why is TMO falling?&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">So Why Is TMO Falling?</h3>
The current weakness is primarily driven by the weekly chart&#8217;s bearish 18th phase, which ends on November 30, 2025. Until then, the stock is expected to remain under pressure. Only after this date do the bullish signals on the monthly chart begin to take precedence according to the Adhishthana Principles. This decline also aligns with what&#8217;s known as the &#8216;Death Move&#8217;, a pattern where a stock often undergoes a significant correction after entering Phase 18, before eventually reaching Nirvana.
This rare phase conjunction between the weekly and monthly charts has created a temporal dislocation: near-term pain, long-term potential.
Our clients pursuing shorter timeframes have been deploying bearish spreads since the weekly 18th phase began. However, once the phase concludes in late 2025, the strategy shifts. We expect increased bullish exposure into the stock, as the setup for long-term value and Nirvana on the monthly chart becomes dominant.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts</h3>
TMO is experiencing a rare and telling moment within its Adhishthana Cycle. The near-term outlook remains challenged due to a bearish guna triad on the weekly charts, but this consolidation may prove to be a healthy precursor to long-term upside. The monthly Phase 18 doesn't conclude until July 31, 2030, meaning long-term upside remains very much on the table after near-term turbulence subsides. TMO makes a compelling candidate for patient investors looking to capitalize on deep-cycle insights, if they time it right.&nbsp;

Genetic Data From 23andMe Ends Up With This Company In $256 Million Deal

In the current session, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) is trading at $390.50, after a 3.83% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 8.66%, and in the past year, by 34.40%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747317624_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Thermo Fisher Scientific P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 44.19 in the Life Sciences Tools &amp; Services industry, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 23.82. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747317624_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Thermo Fisher Scientific Stock In The Last 20 Years

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its intent to expand the use of unannounced inspections at foreign manufacturing facilities that produce foods, essential medicines, and other medical products intended for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">American consumers and patients</a>.
This change builds upon the agency&#8217;s Office of Inspection and Investigations&#8217; Foreign Unannounced Inspection Pilot program in India and China and aims to ensure that foreign companies will receive the same level of regulatory oversight and scrutiny as domestic companies.&nbsp;
&#8220;For too long, foreign companies have enjoyed a double standard—given advanced notice before facility inspections, while American manufacturers are held to rigorous standards with no such warning,&#8221; said FDA Commissioner Martin Makary. &nbsp;
On Tuesday, the FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-announces-expanded-use-unannounced-inspections-foreign-manufacturing-facilities?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> it plans to review and improve its foreign inspection program to ensure it meets the highest standards for oversight. Part of this effort includes making it clear that FDA inspectors should not accept travel-related perks like hotel stays or transportation from the companies they inspect.

The FDA conducts about 12,000 inspections annually in the U.S. and 3,000 in other countries. While U.S. companies often get surprise inspections, foreign companies usually receive advanced notice, giving them time to prepare and potentially hide problems.
Still, foreign inspections often reveal serious issues, more than twice as often as domestic ones.
In the U.S., inspections are usually unannounced unless specific programs require advance notice to ensure staff and records are available.
Even then, companies can&#8217;t pick the date or time. The FDA says foreign companies shouldn&#8217;t have that option either.
By shifting to more surprise inspections abroad, the FDA aims to better protect American consumers by catching dishonest practices, like falsifying records or hiding violations, before they cause harm.
The agency can take action against any company that tries to delay, block, or refuse an unannounced inspection.
The update follows President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8217;s signed executive order on Monday to promote prescription drug manufacturing in the U.S., streamlining the path for companies to build new production sites as potential tariffs on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">imported medicines loom</a>.
The order directs the FDA to reduce the amount of time it takes to approve manufacturing plants in the U.S. by eliminating unnecessary requirements, streamlining reviews, and working with domestic drugmakers to &#8220;provide early support before facilities come online,&#8221; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-actions-to-reduce-regulatory-barriers-to-domestic-pharmaceutical-manufacturing/" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to&nbsp;a White House fact sheet.
It also directs the agency to raise inspection fees for foreign manufacturing plants, improve the enforcement of active-ingredient source reporting by overseas producers, and consider publicly listing facilities that don&#8217;t comply.
The White House <a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/regulatory-relief-to-promote-domestic-production-of-critical-medicines/" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimates</a> that it can currently take five to ten years to build new pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, which it calls &#8220;unacceptable from a national-security standpoint.&#8221;

FDA Expands Surprise Inspections At Foreign Drug And Food Facilities, Targets Double Standards In Overseas Manufacturing Oversight

As May opens for business, shell-shocked stock market investors are waving goodbye to April with both hands. While the major stock indexes have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45027002/benzinga-bulls-and-bears-netflix-novavax-intel-and-the-market-begins-to-bounce-back">bounced back</a> moderately over the last week, stocks fell 11% at one point and declined 20% since mid-February, primarily due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/04/45050322/how-youll-know-the-tariff-troubles-are-over">tariff troubles</a> affecting the global economy.
That's not all. Consumer spending was at a two-year low in the first quarter of 2025, while first-quarter US gross domestic product fell by 0.3%, fueling talk of a recession on the horizon.
Older traders are talking about a &#8220;Templeton Moment&#8221; right now, and likely with good reason. The term stems from legendary trader John Templeton, who famously borrowed $10,000 to buy shares in every company trading on the New York Stock Exchange for under $1 during a market trough in 1939, during the Great Depression. The list included 104 companies, including 34 that were bankrupt. A few years later, Templeton banked huge gains on all but four stocks when he sold.
Today&#8217;s market could be your opportunity for something similar.
"It doesn&#8217;t resemble a &#8216;Templeton Moment,&#8217; but I would be cautious," said Eugenia Mykuliak, founder and executive director at B2PRIME Group, a global financial services provider for institutional investors. "Today&#8217;s market has more nuances, and we're not close to an &#8216;extreme&#8217; pessimism, unlike the 1930s. Even though there are some well-valued stocks out there, that's certainly not an invitation to buy in bulk."
Unlike the 1930's, which saw economic indicators drag across the board, this market has largely fallen victim to one malady.
&#8220;Uncertainty has been generated by the announcement, delay, magnitude, and duration of tariffs," said Karl Farmer, portfolio manager at Rockland Trust Bank. "With over 40% of the S&amp;P 500's revenues coming from outside the US, the tariffs can have some big impacts on inventory management and purchase plans as producers and consumers face higher prices."
Resulting market uncertainty means less confidence in profit consistency and usually lower multiples that investors place on earnings.
"Higher costs likely lead to lower profits if sellers cannot pass on the price increases to their customers, or at a minimum, it leads to lower consumption," Farmer said. "A lower multiple coupled with lower profits means lower market levels. The longer the tariffs remain, the more likely there will be behavior changes by both producers and consumers, as many will seek alternatives if they believe that higher prices are not temporary."
If the delayed reciprocal tariffs are implemented in full and there have been few negotiated breakthroughs, "then we have not seen the bottom," Farmer added.
Here are today&#8217;s buying opportunities and what to look out for.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks To Pounce On At Lower Market Levels</h2>
Templeton or no Templeton, when the markets slide significantly, there's always low-hanging fruit available, and the US stock market is no different. Here are a few names that stock market gurus like in a shallower pricing market.
British American Tobacco (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTI#NYSE">BTI</a>). Sluggish stock markets spell opportunity for stocks that demonstrate good resilience amid uncertainty, especially those that turn to future-oriented technologies, Mykuliak said.
Shopify (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>). Mykuliak also likes stocks that offer investors a double dose of value.
"Shopify could be another good example of a perfect combination of AI and e-commerce, which are two powerful trends today," she said. "If merchants want to adapt to new retail realities, it&#8217;s a top choice for them."
Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>). According to Farmer, defensive sectors such as consumer staples and utilities have held up very well this year. "Presently, we favor some names in other areas that may have been overly punished, but could provide above-average returns for the patient investor," he said.
Nike tops that list. Nike is no quick fix for a 2025 portfolio, but it makes sense in this market.
"A pop could be had here if tariffs end quickly," Farmer said. "Nike did have issues even before tariffs, but it's a reinvigorating brand, and it's repairing relationships. Plus, Nike shares are down 70% from peak to 2017 levels, which provides a decent entry point."
Air Products and Chemicals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APD#NYSE">APD</a>). Air Products is a market leader in industrial gas trading at a big discount to competitor Linde (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NASDAQ">LIN</a>). "Future growth is coming from new projects and clean energy transition," Farmer said. "Additionally, the company has a strong and predictable recurring revenue model with on-site plants and 20-year contracts." Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO) is a market leader in life sciences, diagnostics and instruments.
"The stock is off 30% in the last three months on fears of spending cutbacks from customers who rely on federal funding for research," Farmer notes. "It's trading at less than market multiples for better earnings growth. Meanwhile, clarity on federal funding should mark a bottom."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than A "Buy the Dip" Scenario</h2>
As uncertainty prevails in the stock market, money managers are taking a more defensive stance with their portfolios, with one eye on historical trends.
"Historically, when volatility spikes—as it did in early April—the equity markets tend to see large gains one year later," said Andrew Constantinides, a financial advisor at Neil Jesani Wealth Management. "In the short term, however, calling the bottom is much harder. Investors should always remember: There can always be more downside in the market—unless it's at zero."
Constantinides said his firm is primarily focused on value and international stocks.
"Both categories have underperformed U.S. growth stocks over the past 10 years," he noted. "But Q1 of 2025 showed the first real signs of a cycle shift back toward value and international leadership. We favor developed markets, such as Europe and Asia. Our current sector focus is energy and financials—companies with low price-to-earnings ratios and high earnings yield. We have almost no exposure to large-cap tech."
