#Morningstar #StockstoBuy #StockMarketOutlook Plus, our take on Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Apple before earnings. This episode of The Morning Filter marks the podcast’s third anniversary. Hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski reveal how the stock picks from the podcast’s first episode have performed and share which ones are still attractive stocks to buy today. They also discuss an under-discussed risk factor that contributed to market volatility last week. And they welcome special guest (and Fed watcher) Sarah Hansen to preview this week’s Federal Reserve meeting and parse what to watch for from the Fed this year. It’s a big earnings week ahead: Tune in to find out what to look for as Microsoft MSFT, Meta Platforms META, Apple AAPL, and Tesla TSLA (among others) report. They cover key takeaways from big bank earnings, whether Netflix NFLX is a buy after reporting, which stock received a 38% fair value estimate increase last week and what to make of Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B possibly offloading its stake in Kraft Heinz KHC.
