Best Cheap Stocks To Invest In 2019

Barclays (BCS) has an interesting risk-reward profile, given that its valuation seems to be too cheap for its business prospects. The bank has completed its business overhaul and is well-capitalized, but this is not reflected in its discounted valuation, making Barclays an interesting value play.

Company Overview

Barclays is one of the world's largest banks, operating in retail and commercial banking, credit cards, investment banking, beyond other financial activities. Due to its large size, Barclays is a Globally Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) with a buffer of 1.5%. It has a market capitalization of about $46 billion and trades in the U.S. on the New York Stock Exchange.

Following the global financial crisis, the bank restructured its business profile, focusing on consumer, corporate and investment banking, in its two core geographies of the U.K. and the U.S. Given its business profile, its main competitors include other U.K. retail banks, like Lloyds (LYG) or RBS (RBS), and U.S. banks with large investment banking operations, such as JP Morgan (JPM) or Bank of America (BAC).

  Compass Minerals International, Inc. (NYSE:CMP) is often listed as a miner, but the salt and fertilizer it produces are a bit different than what most investors think of when they hear the word "miner." That makes Compass something of an odd duck and results in it being off of most investors' radar screens. A tough 2017 is another net negative. That's a shame, since it currently sports a yield of more than 4.4%, and the business outlook is improving. Here's what investors are missing out on with this high-yield stock.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Lou Whiteman]

  Shares of defense titans Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC), General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), and Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) all underperformed the S&P 500 in the 12 months leading up to when the Budget Control Act was signed in August 2011, a period when the tension between different congressional factions intensified, with shares of individual companies dropping between 7% and 13% during the first two weeks of August alone.

  Cramer and Moreno also looked at General Dynamics (GD) which peaked in early March, before starting a downtrend until Tuesday. Last week, General Dynamics fell to the lower end of its channel, but then it bounced right to the high end, and Wednesday it firmly broke out above the high end of this channel. The stochastic oscillator, which is a powerful momentum indicator is making a bullish crossover, and based on today's move, Moreno thinks General Dynamics can return to its old highs at $230.
