The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights: America’s Car-Mart, Central Garden & Pet, Heritage-Crystal Clean, Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment and Comerica

by admin on January 8, 2017

Heritage-Crystal Clean Inc. (NASDAQ:HCCI – Free Report )

This is a privately held marketing and sales company which is into automotive repair, primarily in the Midwest and Eastern States. It has a VGM score of ‘A.’ The stock has a Zacks Rank #1.

REIT

REITs can be good picks in 2017 despite worries about rising yields. And if it is a fund like KBWY which yields about 6.55% annually, chances of outperformances go higher in a rising rate environment. Investors should note that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was 2.37% at the end of January 5, 2017.

Investors should also take a note that REITs form an asset class which not only benefits from a rebounding economy, but also from an appreciation in the value of real estate assets if held for a longer term. REITs are often viewed as protection against inflation.

Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corp. (NYSE:CHMI – Free Report )

It is a residential real estate finance company. The stock has a VGM score of ‘A’ and its Zacks industry rank is in the top 30%. The stock has a Zacks Rank #2.

Regional Banks

Historically, financial stocks perform better with republicans in the White House thanks to their tolerant policies . Trump’s intention to ease regulatory policies for small-cap banks should be a positive for the fund. Also, benchmark U.S. Treasury bond yields have seen an uptrend due to both Fed and Trump, giving another boost to financial ETFs (read: Play Banking Bonanza with These ETFs in Trump World ).

Comerica Inc (NYSE:CMA – Free Report )
