Down by More Than 25%, Grab These 3 Stocks Before They Rebound

Following a disappointing stock market performance since the beginning of the year, progress in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and an expected steady economic recovery despite the likelihood of more interest rate hikes have improved investor sentiment of late. Therefore, we think it could be wise to bet on Carlsberg (CABGY), Masimo (MASI), and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT). These stocks are down by more than 25% in price year-to-date but are well-positioned to rebound. Read on.

Yesterday, U.S. stocks closed their worst-performing quarter since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns over surging inflation, logistical disruptions, the possibility of aggressive interest rate hikes, and geopolitical issues have driven this performance. However, overall, the market seems to have absorbed most of the negatives over the past couple of weeks and regained some stability. The progress in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, primarily, has boosted investor sentiment.

While the possibility of aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve could dampen economic growth, a hot job market indicates a steady economic recovery. According to DOW Jones, the unemployment rate is expected to fall to 3.7% from 3.8%. This is expected to boost investor sentiment further.

Given this backdrop, we think it could be wise to bet on beaten-down stocks Carlsberg A/S (CABGY), Masimo Corporation (MASI), and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (GT) which hold solid rebound potential.
