Craig-Hallum Sticks to Its Buy Rating for Lands' End (LE)

As the market trends upward, high-beta stocks, which typically show greater volatility than the broader market, can be an attractive option for risk-tolerant investors seeking high returns. Therefore, one could consider investing in fundamentally sound companies like Block, Inc. (SQ), Roku, Inc. (ROKU), and Lands' End (LE). Learn more… With the bullish market trend prevailing in the economy, analysts note that high-beta stocks tend to outperform during such periods and can be much more volatile during downturns. These stocks offer the potential for outsized returns as they react more dramatically to market shifts.
Thus, for risk-tolerant investors, now might be an opportune time to consider investing in fundamentally strong high-beta stocks, Block, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SQ/">SQ</a>), Roku, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ROKU/">ROKU</a>), and Lands' End, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/LE/">LE</a>).
According to Deloitte's forecasts, the U.S. economy is expected to <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/economy/us-economic-forecast/united-states-outlook-analysis.html#:~:text=we%20expect%20the%20US%20economy%20to%20grow%20by%202.7%25%20this%20year.">grow by 2.7%</a> this year and by 1.5% in 2025, bolstered by increased government consumption. Between 2026 and 2028, real GDP growth will likely stabilize between 1.7% and 2.1% per year.
Nonetheless, the outlook for the U.S. economy remains strong. The real GDP <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/25/us-gdp-q2-2024.html">increased by 2.8%</a> in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the 1.4% growth recorded in the first quarter. This uptick was driven by increased consumer spending, inventory investments, and business investments. During the second quarter, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased by 2.3%, while the price index for personal consumption expenditures (PCE) <a href="https://www.bea.gov/news/2024/gross-domestic-product-second-quarter-2024-advance-estimate#:~:text=The%20price%20index,of%203.7%20percent.">rose by 2.6%</a>.
Amid these positive economic signals, growth investors and those with a high-risk appetite might be interested in betting on high-beta stocks. These stocks promise substantial returns but also come with inherent risks during market declines. These stocks often outperform benchmark indexes in a bullish environment, making them attractive for investors with higher returns.
Moreover, the optimistic U.S. economic outlook, underpinned by strong GDP growth, supports corporate and consumer spending, making this an ideal climate for high-beta stocks.
