4 BEST Stocks to BUY Now (I'M BUYING)!

You want to know WHAT ARE THE BEST STOCKS to buy right now? And I've got four, which is kind of a weird number, but I have four stocks that I think are attractive at these prices and lower. Let's just get right into it. You guys have been asking for stocks to buy. Hey, Eric, why aren't you doing stocks to buy video? The AI stocks you've been talking about. They're way too high. I'm a new investor. I want to start buying. Which stock should I buy? Well, I've got one here. Great earnings last night for Broadcom. One of the best, highest conviction stocks that I personally owned. I've had this stock since 2018. And you can see a beat on the top and bottom lines. Beat by 8 cents on that non-GAAP EPS of $3.32. Revenue 29.59 billion. Beat by 160 million. That's up 85.5% year-over-year. Now, I've been investing for over 25 years. And it's not very often that you see a stock have 85% revenue growth and actually be down. But welcome to 2026. Welcome to the AI Semiconductors, the new oil super cycle. The expectations are skyhigh. These stocks aren't necessarily cheap stocks, which is why they're priced to perfection. But there is one simple reason why the stock's down. I'm going to get to that. Demand for our custom AI accelerators and networking very strong. Look at this. Grew 221%. And this is not slowing down. This is accelerating. Broadcom achieved record revenue, operating profit, free cash flow. operating income growth of 92% year-over-year. These are staggering numbers. But just like Nvidia that had a great quarter, it sold off. Now, why? One simple answer, of course, price profit taking is is always part of the solution. But the big thing here, guys, is that Broadcom actually right here. So, you got a beat on top and bottom, but that guidance is below. And Wall Street wants a double beat raise guidance. And even if it does that, the stock still might go down. Now, when we look at the chart, technicals of the last 1%, fundamentals are 99%. So, I want to look at some fundamentals with you really quick, but you can see this stock is down 6%. And year to date, it's actually down 1%. One of the best names that you can own in the semiconductor space for the AI data center trade is down 1% year to date. It is only up 13.5% in the past year. It's up 589% in the past five years. But look at this. 13% in a year. Year-to date negative. A lot of people get this wrong on a quiz. Broadcom's trading below $350. The 52- week high on this bad boy. Look at this. $495. 52- week low, $289, which is a little bit lower than we are here. I will look at a chart later, but I do want to show you some of these metrics because overall, when you look at the fundamentals, very strong profit margins, 76% gross profit margin, $888,000 income per employee. That's very, very good growth. You know, you just saw 88%. The numbers are really strong on the growth. GAP 4 P ratio 40. It does pay a dividend with A+ dividend safety 15 years dividend growth. Payout ratio doesn't show on here. It's a smaller dividend 71% but it is something to note because it is a DGIF. It compounds right total growth short interest only 1.18%. That's telling you not a lot of people are betting against Broadcom at these prices. And that market cap 1.75 trillion. That's part of the reason why the stock it has to just be perfect for it to go higher. It's already one of these huge mega cap type stocks. So looking at the technical analysis, you can see it topped out here at 494 and it dropped today down to 342. Now if you zoom the lens back a little bit, April 2025, this was $136 stock. And that's the problem with a lot of these. If you bought during this tear out, this tariff selloff that we had in April 2025, almost anything that was a decent company has gone up a lot. 100% 200% 500% a lot of these. And you you do have an air pocket kind of here, right? But that's come back. So when I look at riskreward right now, there's no guarantee that it's going to get back to these levels anytime soon. But that would be your upside opportunity. That's your reward. your downside. This S3 Fibonacci is 301. Can it go lower than that? The answer, of course, is always yes. I like this stock. It's under the 200 day simple moving average about 369. And if you look at this S2 Fibonacci, it's closer to 332. Trade at 342. If I didn't own this stock and I was looking to buy stocks to buy and hold longterm, and remember, it's buy, hold, and monitor. It's never buy and hold forever. But this stock, guys, $350 or less DCA, I would personally be looking at adding this stock if I didn't already own it. At $342, yes, it can go lower. Yes, you have to save some room. Use DCA, dollar cost averaging. And of course, I can't give financial advice. I'm just giving you opinions. I do think Broadcom is a great company, and I am bullish long term. All right, for the second one, guys, I just covered this in a Patreon deep dive August 25th. BST stock crashed 30%. Is it a buy now? And I went into a deep dive on this. Also compared it to Constellation Energy. You can certainly read the screen. Basically, I'm giving it to you for free right here. What I think with this stock though, I'm going to go through some of these metrics. If I look at CEG and VST, both of these companies I like long-term. Understand what you're buying. These are energy companies. Yes, they don't have the regulations that a lot of these public utilities have. They're less regulated, which allows them to have more growth and and profitability. And AI, of course, the number one bottleneck when you think of AI buildout is energy. And really, for all the secular growth trends that we talk about on Fired Up wealth, you're going to need energy. And we have a huge, of course, you know this by now, bottleneck. We don't have enough energy to support all the stuff that we want to do essentially. So, constellation energy is almost entirely unregulated, very similar to VST. And so, this is good. The reason that I like CEG a little bit better in the main, the main portfolio, you have to remember, is going to be a a lower risk profile. Okay? So, CEG is owned in the main. That's a larger portfolio. It's 3.5 million. the community portfolio, $600,000 portfolio is a 20 year younger version of myself trying to grow. And so with that portfolio, we're buying VST because I think VST just has maybe a little bit more riskreward, a little bit riskier, but more upside potential. So if you look at, you know, hyperscalers, XAI is using these companies. You've got Google with Constellation Energy as well as Dominion. You got Microsoft with VST. There's not going to be an issue for these companies to basically get rid of the electricity they produce. There's always going to be regulatory hurdles though. There's always going to be regulatory bottlenecks. We have a very old and aging grid which doesn't help. There are things in this industry that makes it it makes the segment harder to invest in. But I do like CEG in the main. I like VST in this community portfolio. And if you look at the metrics on it, you have to understand again this is going to have for example lower profit margins because of the nature of what it does. You know net income per employee 347. That's a good number. Growth, it's not going to have massive growth. You have to understand what you're buying here. Valuation of course looks attractive 14.97 especially considering the median is 18.44. So Vster Corp right here it looks really attractive and it does pay the smaller dividend 64%. So, just like Broadcom, this could be kind of a DJIF. Um, a little bit less so with this. It only has six years of growth. It doesn't have that 10% we're usually looking at, but opportunity for that dividend to grow over time. Over the past year, this stock is down 23%. Over the past 5 years though, it's up 650%. And you can see there is some short interest, 2.87%. Market cap is under 50 billion at 48 billion. Now, this is never a reason to buy or sell a stock. And I tried to explain this. This is in Discord in the Fireup Wealth community portfolio channel. I generally try not to look at portfolios like this. I don't want them to influence my judgment and understand with these filings that it's always lagging data. So I'm not saying that you should go out and just buy something you see portfolio, but I did think it's interest I thought it was interesting. This kind of popped up in front of my face on fa on Facebook. I was kind of scrolling through all of a sudden this popped up and I happened to notice that David Ter, so this is the owner of the Carolina Panthers. He also manages a hedge fund, $7.7 billion assets under management. He owns Vista BST. So I thought that was interesting. It's 4.6% of his portfolio. And this is also very interesting, but not a reason to buy or sell. Again, 16 buy, zero hold, and zero sell. This is according to Wall Street analysts. Highest price started in the street $298. Lowest $169. So that gives you an average price started at $223 with a 54.88% upside. So 55% upside. Is that guaranteed? No. This is just Wall Street analysts what they're projecting for 12 months out. So this is one year out. And you got that, you know, lowest price target $169 and it's trading at 144 bucks. And if I look at a chart of VST and just kind of break down where it's at, this thing ripped, this was back to the 2025 tariff sell-off, $89.92, rips all the way up to $218, basically a triple top area. And I told you guys it was too expensive here. Now it's pulled back. And you oftent times you see these air pockets, the air comes out of them. This is your previous all-time high up here, $218. Your downside this S3 Fibonacci is 120 bucks. So your your support three Fibonacci at $12048. It can certainly go lower. And that's always the case when you're buying stocks. We use dollar cost average. And that means you don't go all in just at today's price. You buy a little bit. If it comes back, you know, to this S2 Fibonacci 129, you buy some more. If it comes lower, you save some room. Now, this can be tricky because depending on the position that you want to build out, you have to do some math. So, if you want say 3%, how much do you buy in this kind of market with this kind of stock, you might buy a third or a fourth, and this is not financial advice, it's just how I might buy it. I did start a position of VST in the community portfolio and bought a starter position about 1%, a little over 1%. And I know some of you are going to say, well, what happens if you buy 1% and the stock rips and you it doesn't come lower. That's a high quality problem. And we talk about this in in the community about is it a core or is it kind of a nice to have for me? This is a nice to have. It's not a core. I don't need it to be, you know, 5% of the portfolio. It's something that's a nice to have that I think is attractive. And I like to buy a lot of these nice to have these fringe plays that I feel are attractive when the price levels get right. If they come in my buy zone, I buy. If they don't, no big deal. I don't have to buy the stock. And I think a lot of people get emotionally attached to stocks because they do research or whatever. With this stock, my preference, my strong preference is $135 or less, but I do think it's attractive in the 140s. Now, the next stock that I want to cover, guys, this is going to be more speculative. It might not be for everybody, but it also has tremendous upside. And if you look, I just did a video on this not that long ago, I think last week. This AI stock is down 50%. Is it the best AI stock to buy now? Well, it depends on your risk tolerance, your blueprint, your portfolio. But AOI is scaling to hit a capacity of 930,000 of these transceiver units by 2027. And if they do that, this stock has tremendous opportunity. If you do the math on their business with the 100G, the 400G at 90 million, 800G at about 217 million a month, the NextG 1.6T, 164 million, you're talking about a mid2027 outlook. This is data that they gave us that the management team gave us. We're talking about $471 million per month. So whenever you're trying to predict what a stock might be worth in the future, you have to try to to not only look at the revenue that's coming in, but what sort of multiple the stock's going to have. Now, when a stock is in that hyper growth stage, the market is going to pay a premium. Usually, when that growth starts to actually happen, so in other words, they're going to pay a premium before it happens. Once the story actually unfolds, look at like Nvidia for example. They're still crushing it, but that that growth, you paid for it a premium in the past. Now they don't want to pay for as much growth or pay a premium for that growth, even if it is impressive growth because the exponential growth in the eyes of most investors has already passed. So if you look at 25 to 25x earnings, you know, this stock could be maybe under $200 a share. And right now today, it's trading at about $100 a share. six times sales. Well, now you're pushing 250, you know, 4x sales. Now you're kind of back in that in that level that might be 175 185. But there's also a scenario where you might see 300 to 450 or higher on the stock. Now, that's going to be at a $5.7 billion run rate, and you're going to have to keep the same growth multiple. So, there's obviously risk to that. These are the different scenarios that could unfold. A reminder that Wall Street analyst forecasts are not a reason to buy or sell. Do your own homework. But you can see three buys, two holds, zero sell. This is going to be a smaller company. Not as much coverage. Only five Wall Street analysts are covering this on tip ranks. The lowest price target 109. Stock right now is at 102. It was just below $100 10 20 minutes ago. Average price targets 163 based on that highest price target at 220. Now, this is a 12 month price target. If you're buying this stock, it's probably going to be a two to threeyear hold at least. And you're going to need this Sugarland, Texas facility to actually happen and to be pumping out units. It's already grown at 120%. Massive growth. Valuation wise, it's going to be expensive. In fact, it doesn't have a gap forward P ratio. This is going to be very much a spec stock, speculative stock, right? So, you're it's a high riskreward. Generally, you want small positions and if you don't have a high risk tolerance, it's something you should probably just avoid altogether. Couple red flags, profit margins below 30%. We're hoping that these numbers can come higher as they start manufacturing more. But they are vertically integrated for the most part, but they're becoming more. So the other risk for this stock as well as the next one I'm going to cover and really a lot of these small cap stocks that are or not really a small cap stock but I should say smaller cap stock that are basically supplying these hyperscalers these whales is you're going to have a concentration risk. There's only five or six whales that are basically spending all the money on capex. This is only 8.76 billion market cap. So it's very much a smaller cap versus a 1.75 trillion on the first stock I covered today. Short interest is also 12.27%. That is going to create pin action, volatility, beta. This stock is going to fly around all over the place. In fact, if you look at this stock, it was just, what was the high on this? The 52-we high was 233. So, if I look at year-to- date, the stock started out at $39. It ripped all the way up to 233 bucks May of of May 13th of this year. Fell off a cliff down to 76. And we did buy in this range here in the community portfolio. Our cost basis is $79 and then it popped from 76 bucks. In fact, it got like $74 after hours. It doubled to 150. In fact, it was like 160 to like 75 to 150160 and then pulled back this morning. The low was $96.96. Now, this is something I told you I like it DCA. The lower the better. you know, even $110. I think if you're looking at the longer term narrative, if you hold it for two or three years, it could have upside potential. I can't give you financial advice. I can't tell you what to buy, but I do want to share ideas that I think are opportunities potentially for the right investor and the right risk tolerance. You can see it came below the 200 day simple moving average. And if you look at the fibs, it can go lower, $91 on the S1. The S2 is closer to 73. And you got this S3 Fibonacci down here, you know, closer to $47. So, your downside risk probably 50 bucks psychological floor. Your upside previous high here 233. It doesn't mean it has to go back there or anytime soon. It could take two years. And you're going to need Sugarland to actually hit the mark and to produce. But if you like a higher riskreward stock, AOI could be your huckleberry. Not financial advice. Always dollar cost average. and do what's best for you and your money. All right, the last one I want to cover today, guys, I just actually did a deep dive yesterday, so go watch that video after this one. It's about CRDO. One thing I didn't cover on that video yesterday, I'll cover you with you really quick. And again, this is not financial advice, not a reason to buy or sell because of analyst price targets, but you have 13 buy, one hold, zero sell. Lowest price target is 235, highest price target 350 with an average of 287. That's a 70% upside. The stock is trading at 168 and the lowest price target on the street is 235. They're also getting into optics which could be huge for this business. It's not a cheap stock necessarily, but it's had a significant pullback. Go watch that video, get some more information about CRDO. Decide for yourself it's a if it's a good fit for your portfolio, your blueprint, your risk tolerance. Thanks for watching, guys.
