Even though the S&P 500 benchmark index recovered significantly in the last three months, a few US stocks are still negative at this time.
Long-term investors may find that the continued weakening of some markets in 2025’s second half will offer them opportunities.
Fiserv, Salesforce and Arista Networks are on our list of stocks we believe will make a strong comeback in the next six months. Take a look at the future prospects of each company.
Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: ANET)
Arista’s shares have fallen more than 20 percent from their high for the year. But Wall Street analysts aren’t giving up on the company.
Barchart reports that, at the time this article was written, almost 80% of analysts had a buy rating for ANET, with a mean price target of $111, indicating 12% potential growth from the current level.
Meta Marshall, senior Morgan Stanley Analyst, in his most recent research note, called the arguments for the bears as being “overblown”. He added that the current setup looks more “attractive”, especially for the second half of 2025.
The NYSE-listed firm announced record revenues and better than expected profits for the first quarter of its fiscal year in early May. This is another reason why you should have this company as part of your portfolio.
Fiserv Inc (NYSE: FI)
Fiserv’s shares are a disappointment to its investors since March. However, analysts believe that the second half will be a very different tale for this financial technology company.
The analysts are mainly dovish on FI, with a mean price target of $220. This indicates a massive potential upside of over 20%.
The fintech company announced last week that it would launch its stablecoin, as well as a platform for digital assets. This will make Fiserv’s stock more appealing to buy in the second half 2025.
In the latest quarter reported, FI’s earnings per share were $2.14, exceeding Street expectations of $2.08.
Salesforce Inc (NYSE: CRM)
Salesforce’s stock has dropped by almost 23 percent since the end of January. This may be an excellent opportunity for investors who are looking to buy a high-quality name at deep discounts.
Nearly 80% of Wall Street analysts who cover CRM currently have a positive outlook. The average price target is $356, which indicates a potential increase of 30% over current levels.
Cloud-based software company also pays dividends of 0.61%, making it a good investment for the coming 12 months.
Salesforce’s financial results were released last month and exceeded Street expectations for top line as well as bottom line.
CRM also announced that it would expand its AI footprint by acquiring Informatica for $8 billion.
