Why Trust My Predictions

  • I know how difficult it is to invest, let alone think about investing in stocks. Too many variables, uncertainties, and factors make stock investing a terra incognita. But, I’m here to uncover the fog of war and show you that there is a very simple way to invest in stocks, regardless if you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro. I’ve done the numbers, and evaluated primarily the performance. I’ve taken financial analyst predictions about stock price movements and compared them to the real stock price movements. 
  • I didn’t just focus on the most popular stocks. That’s for beginners. I’m going to share hidden gems of upcoming and new stocks that you never heard of but they have a stellar future ahead according to the most accurate analysts for the stock, industry, or sector.
  • The analysts I get my predictions from, work for companies such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Wells Fargo.
  • I got access to:
    • 50k+ analyst predictions 
    • 3700+ companies 
    • 2000+ analysts 

Stock Picks: This Weeks Predictions

Below you will see my recommendation on this week’s top-performing stock picks. You will find the information in three categories: low-risk, medium-risk, and high-risk predictions.

Low Risk Predictions

  • Netflix Inc

Netflix Inc (NFLX) is the world’s most popular streaming service used by hundreds of millions. At the current time of writing, Netflix has more than 209 million active users. The service is available worldwide and even has its own production house. The service has hundreds of TV shows, movies, and documentaries in its library. With the price of a single NFLX stock sitting at $653.16 and a one-month rise of 10.58%, the NFLX price is only going up. I predict an additional 9.77% upside in the coming months.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 9.77%Confidence: High
Stock Picks Made Easy
  • HubSpot Inc

HubSpot Inc (HUBS) is a leader in online CRM and one of the very first pioneers of the industry. The company specializes in distributing software that businesses use to grow. Their services include marketing, sales, and website management, with all kinds of products designed to grow these branches. HubSpot is available in more than 120 countries and has more than 100,000 clients. HUBS stock price is currently sitting at $802.48, which represents a 12.80% rise over the previous month. I predict a slight upside of 0.56%, just enough to provide a healthy boost to your portfolio.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 0.56%Confidence: High
  • Brilliant Earth Group Inc

Brilliant Earth Group Inc (BRLT) is a company that makes and sells jewelry. One of the goals of Brilliant Earth Group is to make jewelry the ethical way. This means no predatory means to acquire gems and diamonds, but a straightforward and “by the books” way. Due to this, I think BRLT is one of the best stock picks to go for. Although the company sees a -26.23% downside in the previous month, I predict a 28.27% upside in the coming months. With the price of BRLT stocks sitting at $12.63, it is one of the cheapest stocks to go for.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 28.27%Confidence: High
  • Freshworks Inc

Freshworks Inc (FRSH) is a SaaS company in the IT, customer service, sales, marketing, and HR spheres. According to their own website, Freshworks supplies more than 50,000 companies with their SaaS solutions. It even ranks #10 on Forbe’s Cloud 100 Winners of 2021. Freshworks is a healthy company that employs 4,000 workers and has its headquarters in San Mateo, CA. At the current time of writing, FRSH stock price is sitting at $45.05 with a -5.25% fall from the previous month. Considering my predicted upside of 12.76%, FRSH should be a stock pick to go for.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 12.76%Confidence: High

Medium Risk Predictions

  • Darden Restaurants Inc

Darden Restaurants Inc (DRI) is a company in the hospitality sector that has multiple brands in its portfolio. These include the likes of Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, Yard House, Seasons 52, Bahama Breeze, and many more restaurants. The company owns more than 1,800 restaurants and employs nearly 160,000 team members. They registered more than 320 million guests in the previous years, which is a healthy sign for a medium risk prediction stock pick. With the current price of DRI stock sitting at $145.62, I predict a 17.77% upside in the coming months.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 17.77%Confidence: High
  • Linde Plc

Linde Plc (LIN) is a global leader in the gasses sector and one that makes profits up to $27 billion. LIN stocks are nicely priced at $311.31 and are on the rise since the last month. Lince PLC provides high-quality solutions and services to customers who want a sustainable way of life. I predict a 10.89% upside in the coming months.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 10.89%Confidence: High
  • Invitation Homes Inc

Invitation Homes Inc (INVH) is an American company considered by many as the leader in family home leasing. The company specializes in providing single families with high-quality homes with a special focus on finding homes for families based on job and school proximity. INVH stocks are nicely priced at $40.30 and with my predicted upside of 11.41%, it is one of the cheapest and best medium-risk stock picks to go for.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 11.41%Confidence: High
  • Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp II

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corp II (DCRN) is a merger between smaller energy companies with the goal of global decarbonization. DCRN is a relatively new entity and that reflects the stock price. At the current time of writing, DCRN stocks are priced at $9.91, and with my huge predicted upside of 58.09%, it is a medium-risk stock pick worth pursuing.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 58.90%Confidence: High

High Risk Predictions

  • Chart Industries Inc

Chart Industries (GTLS) primarily caters to the energy and industrial gas industries by providing high-quality equipment. They operate on a global scale and have more than 25 locations on multiple continents including North America, Australia, Asia, Europe, and South America. With a price of $170.02 per stock, Chart Industries might be one of the best high-risk stock picks to go for. I predict a whopping 29.75% upside.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 29.75%Confidence: High
  • Trinity Industries Inc

Trinity Industries Inc (TRN) with headquarters in Dallas, TX, specializes in rail transportation and services across the US. Trinity Industries owns multiple businesses in this market and provides products under the Trinity flag. What’s so good about TRN stocks is that they’re nicely priced at $28.78 per stock. I predict a 12.75% upside in the coming months, making it a very interesting high-risk stock pick.

Prediction: BUYUpside: 12.75%Confidence: High
  • Alliance Data Systems

Alliance Data Systems (ADS) is one of the world’s leaders in data marketing and payment solutions, particularly for consumer-based industries. With 45 locations worldwide and more than 8,000 employees, Alliance Datta Systems is a Fortune 500 company that looks to grow even bigger in the coming months. For that reason, I predict a 26.63% upside that would represent a nice bump on the currently priced stock of $96.34.
