3 stocks worth a look in July


Some thought from my site for three companies worth a buy for july.

1. Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ: NASD)

Nasdaq Inc., despite being a consistent long-term performer, the stock recently faced pressure due to its planned acquisition of adenza, a software service provider, for a high price. However, at the moment there are following positive aspects speaking for NASD:

the company has displayed remarkable growth, with an average annual Free Cash Flow growth of over 11.8% in the last decade.

Attractive Free Cash Flow yield of over 6% (5.7% considering Share-Based Compensation)

The stock is currently positioned attractively near its 52-week low, with a P/E ratio of 21.4 and a Forward P/E of 17.4.

Nasdaq's revenue is expected to grow, and profits are likely to maintain their current level, potentially showing low single-digit percentage growth.

2. Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM)

Humana, a prominent insurance company, experienced a correction after a strong run. However, it remains an interesting company because of:

recent Free Cash Flow reached over 17.8% (upwarts trend)

a Free Cash Flow yield of around 2.7% without significant Share-Based Compensation.

Humana's long-term growth prospects in the insurance sector

Though not currently cheap, with a P/E of 18 and a Forward P/E of 14.5, projections indicate double-digit revenue and net profit growth, presenting an opportunity to take a look at due to recent corrections in the market.

3. Mettler Toledo International Inc. (NYSE: MTD)

Mettler Toledo, a leader in precision instruments and services, has been a strong outperformer over the last five years, experiencing recent corrections along with other companies in strong-performing sectors. Positive aspects speaking for the stock:

Their Free Cash Flow showed an impressive average annual growth of 12.3% (currently standing at 2.8%)

Free Cash Flow yield of around 2.7%.

Margins have seen consistent growth, with both Gross Margin and EBIT Margin increasing by nearly 8%

The Net Margin has also experienced significant expansion.

While not considered a cheap stock, Mettler Toledo's expected continuous growth in its engaged sectors makes it an interesting option.
