Each week, Benzinga’s Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the surface and deserve attention.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Here’s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Sept. 11:
Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ:TTWO): Interest in the video game stock increased over the week, which comes with shares down 14% over the last month. The company has one of the biggest catalysts in its history coming soon with the release of the highly anticipated "GTA 6" game on Nov. 19. Shares have sold off recently on leaks, but interest in a Netflix special showing off the game was high and searches on Google Trends were hitting near all-time highs. The game is expected to sell well and investors may have taken profits too soon ahead of the release.
Xometry Inc (NASDAQ:XMTR): The AI-enabled manufacturing company saw strong interest from readers during the week. The company was recently highlighted as a favorite from JPMorgan with an Overweight rating and $120 price target. Analysts at JPMorgan turned bullish thanks to the company being well positioned to benefit from the digital shift of the manufacturing industry. Other items highlighted from the analysts were AI-driven product improvements, Xometry’s partnership with Siemens and international expansion. Shares were down 9% over the last five trading days, but remain up 37% year-to-date, offering a potential dip for investors.
Nu Holdings Ltd (NYSE:NU): The digital bank company with a strong presence in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia could get more attention from U.S. investors soon. The company recently launched U.S. operations on Sept. 10 with a goal of targeting young customers and Hispanic customers in the country initially. Nu Holdings also unveiled Nu Global, a new initiative to help customers hold and move money around the world, which could grow the company’s customer base outside its key countries. The company’s recent quarterly results were also strong for investors.
Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM): The precious metals company saw strong interest from readers during the week. The interest comes with minimal news and after a double miss against analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share in the second quarter, which was reported last month. The key here is gold stocks becoming more favorable for investors based on potential Federal Reserve action on rates and the ongoing global uncertainties.
Motorola Solutions Inc (NYSE:MSI): The communications stock saw strong interest from readers, which follows multiple analyst price target increases after recent quarterly results. Motorola also recently announced a $2 billion increase to its share buyback program, which could boost future earnings per share. The stock is up 0.8% year-to-date, offering an opportunity for investors who see future growth and earnings power.
