Methodology: How we choose the best stocks to buy now
Finder’s investments experts analyze all S&P 500-listed stocks to curate a list of the best semiconductor stocks to buy now. Ordered by year-to-date performance, we consider only companies listed on the S&P 500 that meet the following criteria:
Analyst recommendation: Buy or better
Earnings-per-share growth next year: Positive (greater than 0%)
Current ratio: Greater than 1
Analyst recommendation. This is the consensus outlook of analysts regarding whether to buy, sell or hold a particular stock based on their assessment of its futures performance and valuation, where 1.0 means “Strong Buy,” 2.0 means “Buy,” 3.0 means “Hold,” 4.0 means “Sell,” and 5.0 means “Strong Sell.”
Earnings-per-share growth next year. This indicates analyst’s expectations of a company’s future profitability and operational performance.(2)
Current ratio. This metric measures a company’s ability to pay its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets, indicating its liquidity and financial health. A higher current ratio suggests a strong liquidity position, while a lower ratio may signal potential difficulties in meeting short-term debt obligations. A rate greater than 1 implies the company is likely in a strong financial position to meet its immediate obligations.(3)
