4 Stocks to BUY HEAVY in November 2026

After the bull run over the past four years, it can feel like all the easy money is already been made in the stock market. But here's what our data is showing us right now. The gains are no longer just concentrated in the mega caps and the popular AI stocks anymore. It is finally broadening out to more companies that combine healthy growth and attractive value. With that theme in mind, today I'm handing you four stocks that you deserve your attention right now. In fact, each has catalyst coming up before Thanksgiving, so the time to act is now. Now, it's a diverse group. We have a shockingly cheap AI leader and a tiny little company growing faster than almost anything on the market today. And as per usual, I'm saving my favorite for last, so be sure to stick around for all four stocks. We'll start with Micron with the symbol of MU, the one the Wall Street analysts love, but somehow has been left for dead for the last several months. But first up, before we continue with the Micron story, let me introduce myself. I'm Steve Right Meister, but everyone calls me Righty. I'm a partner at wallstreetzen.com where our quant rating system analyzes a wide array of data points to identify the stocks most likely to beat the market. And real quick, if you enjoy timely stock pick videos like this one, then do yourself a favor and click that like button.

They make the memory that artificial intelligence runs on, that high bandwidth memory that sits right next to all those Nvidia chips inside all those AI data centers. And here's why shares belong at the top of your November shopping list. The biggest catalyst of the month lands November 19th. That's when Nvidia reports earnings. Now, as the largest buyer of that memory, a strong showing from an Nvidia tends to light up the whole group, Micron included. Now, right now, we know that Micron has sold out its high bandwidth memory for the year ahead. With demand that high, they can pretty much name their own price, which explains the surge in earnings. For example, this quarter's earnings are expected to be 700% higher. Yeah, 700% higher than last year. Now, let me remind you the Micron is already a large company. And we're talking about a trillion dollar market cap company. So this earnings growth is truly extraordinary, right? Yes, investors have taken notice with shares rallying hard in 2025 and all the way up until July of 2026. Since then, Micron has sold off pretty sharply from the highs. All the while, the growth prospects remain bright, leaving a tremendous value proposition in its wake. For example, how about a forward PE of five? Yeah, when the average stock is trading for 25 is pretty damn low. Or how about the peg ratio of 0.2 when the average stock trades for a peg closer to 1.5? Yeah, insanely cheap anyway you slice it. Suffice it to say that Wall Street is beyond excited about this growth and value story. This starts with 16 strong buy and another seven buy recommendations, right? 23 in the strong and buy camp. About as bullish as the Street gets on any stock. The even more telling sign of their excitement is that the average target price is roughly 80% above current levels and the Street high is over 200% above current levels. Yeah, let me put that in perspective. Most target prices, even for strong buy rated stocks, are 10 to 20% above current levels. So calling for 80 to 200% upside in the coming year is truly off the charts amazing. Now, let's pop the hood on Micron with our Zen Rings Quant model, which scores every stock across 115 different fundamental, technical, and AI factors. Then it boils it all down to an intuitive letter grade of A to F. Indeed, the higher the grade, the higher the expected returns for those shares. It also provides seven component grades in key areas like a value, growth, momentum, and more to pinpoint each stock's unique strengths and weaknesses. Indeed, Micron earned that coveted A rating, which is our strong buy recommendation. This come from them scoring in the top 1% of all stocks after that full 115 factor review. Yes, more attractive than 99% of the stocks out there. Now, let's look at his most attractive attributes via the component grades. Sentiment comes in the top 21% of stocks, say a sign the smart money is firmly on board these shares. Momentum is the top 11% followed by a top 8% showing for growth, which is a great grade that foreshadows more earnings beats ahead. And the two most impressive component grades are for value and financial strength, both in the top 2% of all stocks analyzed. As you probably know, the main risk for Micron and all its peers is that the memory market is quite cyclical. That has some investors worried when the next down cycle begins. But right now it looks like Micron is sold out through 2027 and starting to lock in contracts for 2028 as well. So right now the reward looks a whole heck of a lot more compelling than risk, making this a great stock to kick off our video today. Before I move on to my next pick, here's something that might interest you. I put together a list of three stocks I believe could double in the coming year.

That brings us to the shares of Valero with the symbol V L O. Now Valero is one of the largest independent oil refiners on Earth, so whenever the group is going well, which is most certainly taking place now, then the Valero is the first stock that comes to mind. Note that they also have built a fast-growing renewable diesel business as well. And here is why November is Valero's moment. A refiner's profit is the spread between the crude it buys and the fuel it sells, and that spread runs the widest from fall into winter. Now think about this. As the summer driving season ends, refineries often come down for maintenance, which tightens supply even more. And why does that happen? Here comes the cold weather which dries up demand for heating oil and diesel. Low fuel inventories across the country only widen the gap allowing Valero to flex some serious earnings muscle coming into the most profitable stretch of the year. Note that they are already firing on all cylinders. Now, this came through once again loud and clear from their October 22nd earnings report, where they sailed past expectations once again thanks to serious profit margin expansion. Beating earnings is becoming a very healthy habit for Valero. Right now, they are writing a streak of 22 straight earnings beats, which points to some serious operational excellence. I mean, these are this is a well-run machine. Now, let me put an exclamation point on this by showing you the 22 beats in a row. We are not talking about a penny here and a penny there. We are talking about stellar beats time and time again. And a lot of that extra cash is flowing right back to shareholders through a steadily increasing dividend and aggressive share buyback. And here is some other great news on the timing of buying it right now. Now, after a long rally, some investors have taken profits off the table. This has led to a nearly 20% sell-off from their highs, creating a stellar buy-the-dip opportunity coming into the best time of year to own these shares. The Zacks review could not be more positive on Valero. Not just A-rated, not just in the top 5% of all stocks, which is what the A-rated crowd is, but in the top 0.4% of all stocks analyzed. And here again, to be clear, that means it is more attractive than 99.6% of the stocks reviewed by the mile. Now, the component grades are truly stacked in their favor. That starts with value, sentiment, and safety, all coming in the top 25% of all stocks. Then we make a big leap into the top 3% of all stocks for financial strength. Just further proof that this is a top-notch operator. Then we have another cluster of grades in the top 1% of all stocks. That includes growth, momentum, and our exclusive AI timeliness grade, just like Micron. We are dealing with another cyclical business, so investors will be monitoring the crude-to-fuel spread very closely. However, here we have a truly consistent earnings winner coming into the most profitable season of the year. And on top of that, we have a 20% share pullback and stellar Zacks review that says now is a pretty good time to fuel up on Valero shares. Our next stock is a truly on-target play for the upcoming holiday shopping season.

That's because I publish data-driven stock analysis like this every single week and these little actions help ensure you won't miss any of my upcoming videos. Our third stock is a name you will most certainly recognize. We are talking about the retail giant Target with the symbol TGT. Now it's true the target had a few rough years with shares falling about 70% from their highs. Gladly, a genuine turnaround is unfolding that should only accelerate as they head into the most important shopping season of the year. So here's the setup. After a long stretch of stumbles, Target brought in new leadership and went to work on the basics, cleaning up its inventory, sharpening its merchandising, and leaning back into the categories shoppers actually come to expect from Target. And that turnaround is finally gaining real traction. The last quarterly report, truly a blowout beat. Now Target is running straight into the prime holiday shopping season. And even before that, we have another catalyst on the calendar. That is their November 18th earnings report that probably offers updated holiday guidance. Management has gone all in on value by cutting prices across thousands of items to pull in those cost-conscious shoppers. And it's working very well. And let's not forget that Target is a dividend aristocrat given the company has raised its dividend for 50 years in a row, right? Not 10, not 20, 50 years in a row. And currently that leads to a 3% dividend yield that certainly will pad our final result. Now Wall Street is often slow in responding to to turnarounds like this. But Michael Lasser of UBS is already on board. That matters because he ranks in the top 4% of all analysts for his actual stock picking track record, meaning he knows a thing or two about picking good stocks. And he sees serious upside potential in these Target shares. Now, under the microscope of the Zen-Rings quant system, Target earns that coveted A rating. That's because after the full analysis, it ranks in the top 2% of all stocks we reviewed. Once again, the component grade reveals several strong points to consider. Value, top 14% of all stocks. This is based upon 21 different measures of value. So, value from every potential perspective. Growth and momentum are both in the top 13% of all stocks. Financial strength, top 9% and the standout grade is the top 7% showing for sentiment, telling you the smart money crowd is already circling these shares. Now, the weak spot here is that Target is still pretty early in its turnaround and sales in some of its discretionary aisles are still on the soft side. So, they need to keep up this current earnings momentum to prove the turnaround is on track. Gladly, the upside rewards of turnarounds more than makes up for the downside risk. The top 2% showing for the Zen-Rings greatly increases our odds of success as well and that fat 3% dividend yield is a nice little cherry on top. Note that I recently added Target to my Zen Investor Newsletter portfolio, which is focused on the top 20 stocks for the long haul. Now, you need to determine if it deserves a spot in your portfolio as well.

We have made it to our fourth and final stock and as foreshadowed earlier in the video, this is the one with the most exciting earnings growth potential. That brings us to Eton Pharmaceuticals, the symbol of E T O N. Now, this is a small company focused on treatments for rare diseases, the kind of conditions that the big drug makers too often overlook, leading to less competition and fat profit margins. Now, Eton just keeps winning FDA approvals and rolling out new rare disease treatments. And because these are specialized drugs with little competition, each launch turns into sticky recurring revenue that just builds one on top of the other. Its newest products are only just starting to ramp, which is exactly the kind of fuel that keeps an earnings engine running for years into the future. This explains why Wall Street experts see Eton's revenue growing around 40% a year, driving earnings growth up 90% a year, nearly six times the pace of their industry peers. So, some investors took notice with shares rallying over the past year. How could they not notice, right? Without that kind of earnings growth. However, in August, they pressed pause with the Eton retreating 20% from its highs, giving us a great opportunity to load up just before their next earnings report in early November. Some top Wall Street analysts are certainly taking a shine to these shares with all four analysts firmly in the strong buy camp, not a single hold or sell in the bunch. Now, at this stage, you won't be a shock to no one when I tell you that this is another elite A-rated stock that stems from Eton scoring the top 2% of all stocks after that full 115 factor fundamental review. This comes from an array of strong component grades starting with sentiment in the top 25% of all stocks. Value scores in the top 19%, pretty damn impressive for a growth rocket like this one. Momentum is top 10%, tying that these are timely shares. And then we finish strong with the top 5% showings for both growth and financial strength. These are the two best categories to help foreshadow more earnings beats ahead. The main risk here is simply what comes with any small drugmaker, a lot of rides in a handful of products and looming FDA decisions. But with the launches already in hand, they are set to enjoy 90% earnings growth as we move forward. This is why Wall Street is so firmly in their quarter. And don't forget the top 2% showing for the Zen ratings, which corroborates the bull story. Now you know why I saved Eaton for last to end the video on a high note. Okay, so there is your November playbook. Four top rated stocks to feast on before you gorge yourself with turkey and stuff for Thanksgiving.
