GM, Seagate among stocks to buy ahead of earnings, Barron’s says

General Motors (GM), Whirlpool (WHR), Mattel (MAT), Seagate Technologies (STX), Ameriprise Financial (AMP), Sherwin-Williams (SHW), Matador Resources (MTDR), and Steel Dynamics (STLD) are all names whose 2024 earnings expectations have either been revised higher by analysts or kept unchanged since late February, when aggregate earnings estimates for the S&P 500 began to fall. In order to be included on the list, the stocks must also be down from their peak, signaling they likely have been impacted by the broader market decline. They also cannot have released their first-quarter calendar year earnings reports yet, Jacob Sonenshine writes in this week’s edition of Barron’s.
