6 shares you can buy to make your portfolio a great combination of growth, value and defense

The investment world includes uncertainty, volatility and ever -changing macroeconomic conditions. In such scenarios, diversification remains the golden rule.

Investing in a variety of promotions, each play a clear role in increasing returns, risk and stability during volatile market cycles, can be a smart solution. Let’s dig it deeper.

Growth campaigns include companies that are expected to outperform the market, promotions for revenue or income growth. Instead of paying dividends, these companies usually reinvest profits for development, research and development or acquisitions. These shares can get higher returns over a long period of time, as they are often companies that focus on innovation and market disruption. However, they are also very volatile and sensitive to economic cycles. Let’s look at two examples.

Uber Technologies (Uber) is $ 178.3 billion. With a dominant position while driving, expanding food delivery services, growing cargo logistics group and significant investment in autonomic technology and artificial intelligence (AI), Uber becomes a compelling long -term growth.

The Wall Street reserves remain a “strong purchase”. Of the 49 analysts covered by Uber Stock, 34 rated it with a “strong purchase”, five, says “moderate purchase” and 10 “detention”. Based on the average target price of $ 97.43, the Uber shares potential is 14.3%compared to the current level.

In addition, the high target price of $ 115 indicates that the shares can raise as much as 35%over the next 12 months.

The Amazon (Amzn) Empire has expanded, including e -commerce, cloud computing, digital advertising, AI, robotics and more. Despite the fact that Amazon still has a large space for development. It remains compelling growth stocks due to unmatched scale, multifaceted growth engines and increased profitability.

All in all, Wall Street appreciates the Amazon warehouse “Strong Purchase”. Of the 54 analysts covering the shares, 46 gave it a “strong purchase”, and six say it’s a “moderate purchase” and two suggest “detaining”. Based on the average target price of $ 242.21, Amazon’s share potential is 16.1% from the current level. However, the high target price of $ 305 indicates that the shares can rise by more than 46.3%over the next 12 months.

Value shares are shares of companies that are underestimated with long -term potential. These companies usually have stable bases, consistent cash flows and often pay dividends. They are less volatile than growth stocks but have less explosive growth potential. Let’s look at two examples:

Pfizer (PFE), long known as a pharmaceutical power plant, has maintained its financial stability by combining strategic acquisitions, strong products pipeline and development into innovative therapy. Currently, its pipeline contains more than 108 programs with about 30 tests in the late stage. Its pipeline includes MRNA -based influenza and RSV vaccines, new cancer treatments and new generation of immunological drugs to detect it for future BlockBuster launch. Pfizer is also a dividend stock with a high yield of 7.1%, making it a rare combination of income, value and growth.

The Wall Street Pfizer Stock remains a “moderate purchase”. Of the 23 analysts that cover the stock, seven appreciated it with a “strong purchase”, says it is a “moderate purchase”, 14 appreciates “detention”, and one says it is a “strong sale”. Based on the average target price of $ 27.62, Pfizer stocks have 12.5% ​​potential compared to the current level. In addition, the high target price of $ 33 indicates that the shares can raise as much as 37.3%over the next 12 months.

Being a car manufacturer, Ford (F) has given great value to investors through consistent income, high cash flows, high income and road to growth. It invent herself focusing on the new generation of accessible electric vehicles (EV). Ford also offers an attractive 5.5%dividend yield.

Overall, the Wall Street rates are valued by Ford detention. Of the 24 analysts who cover the stock, the three gave it a “strong purchase”, and 16 says it is “detention”, says it is a “moderate sale” and four offers “strong sales”. Ford Stock exceeded the average target price of $ 9.74. However, the high target price of $ 14 indicates that the shares may increase by more than 30.2%over the next 12 months.

Defense campaigns are companies providing essential goods or services such as utilities, health care and consumer hangings. These companies usually have a stable revenue because the demand for their products still does not affect different economic cycles. These stocks ensure the stability of the portfolio during the market downturn, usually less unstable and many pay attractive dividends. However, they have limited growth potential and are sensitive to regulatory pressure (especially in healthcare). Let’s look at two examples:

With more than 139 years of activity history, a variety of business model based on medicines and medical devices, clean balance and long results in dividend growth, J&J (JNJ) provides stability and resistance that investors seek uncertain economic times. The J&J dividend yield is 3.4%, paid and increased the dividend in the last 64 years by earning the title of Dividend King.

Wall Street JNJ stock remains “moderate purchase”. Of the 23 analysts that cover the stock, nine appreciated it with a “strong purchase”, two say it is “moderate purchase” and 12 to “detention”. Based on the average target price – $ 169.83, JNJ stocks have 12.2% potential from the current level. In addition, the high target price of $ 185 indicates that the shares can raise as much as 22.2%over the next 12 months.

The P&G (PG) is also a dividend king who is constantly learning and increased dividends in the last 70 years. It provides a 2.6%yield, which is higher than consumers, on average 1.89%. With a portfolio of trusted household brands, consistent earnings and a business -resistant business model, P&G gives investors a safe shelter during economic uncertainty.

Overall, Wall Street is valued by PG’s “moderate purchase”. Of the 24 analysts covering the reserves, 13 gave her a “strong purchase”, and the three say it’s a “moderate purchase” and eight suggest “arrest”. Based on the average target price of $ 175.91, PG stocks have 9.2% potential compared to the current level. However, the high target price of $ 190 indicates that the shares can rise by more than 17.9%over the next 12 months.

Markets go through cycles, and one type of stock is constantly outperforming at all stages. Growth stocks work well during expansion periods, and value stocks outperform periods. Defense reserves protect the economic downturn. Different to their portfolio and involving all three, investors can help investors over time.

The investment power starts with balance. Markets can be irrational, unstable and noisy. By combining growth supplies for upside down, value stability campaigns and defensive resources and patiently holding them, you can create a portfolio that is adapted, durable and ready for long -term success.
