5 Top Stock Ideas for 2023!
With 2022 almost in the rear-view mirror, investors are expecting continued weakness into 2023. Millionaires are as bearish as they have been since the beginning of 2008, and we all know what happened during that year. Inflationary pressures coupled with substantially weakened consumer spending as a result of the collapse in the price of cryptocurrencies, traditional asset allocation models such as the 60/40 stock/bond portfolio, and ultra-high yielding stocks with payouts north of 9%-10% have most investors worried about what might be ahead in 2023. Still, investors have reason to be hopeful, in our view. The labor markets continue to hold up well, and the rate hikes that have pummeled equity, bond and real estate prices also act as future dry powder for the Fed to stimulate markets. At any time, the Fed can reverse its contractionary course. In 2023, we should start to see year-over-year increases in inflation slow, too. In this article, let’s talk our top 5 stock ideas for 2023!

Image Source: Korn Ferry. Businesses around the world are dealing with new challenges in a post COVID-19 world, and global consulting firm Korn Ferry is working hard to build solutions for them. We continue to include Korn Ferry as an idea in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio and remain huge fans of its enormous free cash flow generation and its pristine balance sheet that holds a material net cash position. We’re sticking with our $75 per-share fair value estimate, which implies upside potential to where shares are trading.

VBI Ratings Not as Impressive As We Would Have Liked in 2022
Image: How the VBI rating system has ranked equities so far this year. At Valuentum, we use the Valuentum Buying Index (VBI) to source ideas into diversified simulated newsletter portfolios, and the VBI may be most applicable to the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio, where we generally like to include ideas when they register a high VBI rating and remove them when they register a low VBI rating. We always use the VBI in a portfolio setting and never by itself. Let's talk more about the VBI rating system in this work.

Korn Ferry’s Stock Helps Diversify Best Ideas Newsletter Portfolio
Image Shown: Within the realm of the global consulting industry, Korn Ferry’s revenues are well-diversified in terms of both the geographic markets and industries it caters to. We like shares of Korn Ferry as an idea in our Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Image Source: Korn Ferry – First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 IR Earnings Presentation. We continue to be big fans of Korn Ferry and view its growth outlook quite favorably. The company’s pivot towards digitally providing its services combined with its pristine balance sheet has resulted in a rock-solid business model that can withstand the various exogenous shocks seen of late, from inflationary pressures to supply chain hurdles to labor shortages to rising geopolitical tensions across the globe. Korn Ferry’s capital appreciation upside potential remains substantial, and while the stock is facing pressure following the report, we still like shares as an important diversifying presence in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.
