A solid start to earnings season helped push share prices higher earlier this week, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index crept toward 17 times forward earnings estimates. A recent search for stocks selling for around half or less of the index’s valuation turned up just over a dozen names. Micron Technology (MU), the cheapest stock in the S&P 500, at 4.7 times forward earnings projections, has the other problem.

Newsflash – old tech is losing. IBM is getting smoked today- down 8%. Oracle (ORCL) had a tough go of it when they reported in mid-March as well. The NYSE Fang+ Index meanwhile is up almost 12% since the lows. Only one FAANG has reported so far, but it was fantastic. Netflix (NFLX) had solid numbers that drove the stock to new highs. My style is not to buy at the highs, but the company will still be growing earnings 60% next year. Even with the various problems we have discussed pertaining to Facebook (data stealing), Apple (cycle problems), and Amazon (angry Trump), FAANG has reasserted itself as a leader. And keep in mind, that at least in tech, value is not winning over growth.
A solid start to earnings season has helped push share prices higher this week, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is creeping toward 17 times forward earnings estimates. A handful of shares remain deeply discounted, however.

Airlines have underperformed the broader market in the past month, as investors worry about rising geopolitical tensions and higher fuel prices. United Continental's (UAL) earnings report, due out tomorrow, could be an opportunity to move sentiment back into positive territory, but either way airlines look like a buy today, argues Bernstein's David Vernon. Investors may recall that United's fourth-quarter earnings caused the sector to slump at the beginning of the year, on capacity worries.
