SITO Mobile, Ltd. (SITOQ)

Weekly Stock ListStocks have struggled in 2Q 2022, with the S&P 500 on its way to a double-digit drop for the period. Absent the rally in recent days, the decline would be closer to 20%. Growth stocks have again been the weakest performers, as sectors such as Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary all have lagged the major market indices. The leading sectors were value-oriented, including Energy, Consumer Staples, Basic Materials, and Utilities. The average stock in the Argus Universe of Coverage has declined 13.1% thus far during the quarter, and the median stock declined 12.5%. The average BUY-rated stock dropped 12.6%, while the average HOLD-rated stock fell 14.4%. Will investors continue to favor value in 2022? Will high inflation drive continued outperformance in Energy and Basic Materials? Given interest rates that remain historically low, we expect growth stocks to resume outperformance over time, and think 2022 may be a "one-in-five year" that value leads. Investors seeking value are encouraged to focus on dividends and look for yields in the 3%-4% range. Concerning sectors, our current Over-Weights are Energy, Financial, Healthcare, Industrials, and Basic Materials. Here are the top-10 and bottom-five performers from the Argus Universe in 2Q.
