Stocks To Buy And Watch: Top IPOs, Big And Small Caps, Growth Stocks
BrightSpring Stock Climbs Back
BrightSpring Health Services is the newest name, as it started trading in January 2024. Shares of the company, part of the IPO Leaders list, are climbing back near the 24.80 a buy point of an early-stage cup-with-handle base.
The home health stock has since reclaimed its 21-day exponential moving average.
BrightSpring stock broke out of its base on June 9, but the breakout didn't hold, as the stock reversed sharply lower. That triggered a five-day sell-off, during which the stock pulled back just above its 50-day moving average, finding support.
Revised full-year 2025 earnings estimates call for a whopping 273% jump. Its sales growth estimates are less impressive, with a range between 9% and 12% over the next four quarters.
BrightSpring Health offers at-home care and pharmacy services to patients needing specialized or chronic care.
Brinker Sits In A Buy Zone
IBD Leaderboard name Brinker International is trading tightly in the 5% buy zone of a third-stage cup-with-handle base up to 186.81. The base has a 177.91 buy point, according to its MarketSurge weekly chart.
The restaurant chain operator has made great strides in improving its bottom line. Profits grew 45% in 2024, following two years of decline. Forecasts now call for an impressive 115% spike in Brinker's 2025 profit.
Its revenue growth looks weak in comparison to its earnings growth. Sales increases look to decelerate after ramping up to the upper twenties in the last two quarters. Projections show 18% for the June-ended quarter, sliding to 2% over the following three quarters.
The restaurant stock holds a 96 IBD Composite Rating and a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Brinker is the parent company of Chili's and Maggiano's restaurants.
Deutsche Bank Gains 72% This Year
The Germany-based bank's full-year 2025 profit is expected to jump 139% after two declining years.
Deutsche Bank is in a buy range up to 30.52 of a stage three flat base with a 29.07 entry point. Shares rebounded off their 10-week moving average last week, finding support.
The financial services stock has climbed around 72% so far this year and outpaced 95% of the stocks that IBD tracks.
And its 2.1 up/down volume ratio shows positive demand over the last 50 days. Moreover, mutual funds have added Deutsche Bank stock, with 1,664 owning shares in March, up from 1,600 in December.
