Best Stocks to Keep an Eye on in 2022
In November, the old-school computer juggernaut took a huge step forward by spinning off slower-performing sections.
International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)
For over eight years, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) has been losing momentum due to bad management and fierce competition. In November, the old-school computer juggernaut took a huge step forward by separating slower-performing operations into Kyndryl Holdings Corp. (KD). Since becoming public, that stock has slumped like a rock, as it should, while the slimmed-down IBM has gained only 2%. Those gains are expected to accelerate in 2022, with a surge over 155 signifying the start of the first upswing since 2013.
Visa Inc. (V)
When people travel and spend their hard-earned dollars, euros, and shekels on planes, hotels, and pricey meals, Visa Inc. (V) transactions increase. Because of the Delta and Omicron variations, most of us will be staying closer to home in 2021, making the fintech’s quarterly earnings significantly less predictable. As a result, the stock swung back and forth, resulting in a roughly flat yearly return this year. Expect substantially greater stock performance in 2022, as enormous immunity and a flood of new COVID medications herald a return to normalcy throughout the world.
