When it comes to evaluating stocks, there's no shortage of indicators investors can use to assess fair market value, buy-sell signals, and potential price movements. Those include commonly referenced technical indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index and Bollinger Bands, as well as fundamental measures like price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, free cash flow, and profitability metrics such as return on equity. San Francisco is the strangest city in America right now—you can hop into a self-driving car and be chauffeured by a robot, but out the window you see addicts slumped in doorways, open-air drug markets, the mentally ill screaming at the sky, and entire city blocks consumed by homeless encampments. It's ground-zero for the most disruptive technological forces of our age, and Erez lives in the Bay Area plugged into the capital, the connections, and the companies reshaping the world—the advancements in AI, blockchain, computing, and biosciences are unlike anything the world has seen before, and a tsunami of disruption is coming for everything all at once. During our most recent broadcast, we exposed what we're calling the most asymmetric opportunity of our careers: an overlooked financial company hiding a multi-billion-dollar blockchain asset Wall Street hasn't priced in—it's one of those rare situations Warren Buffett would describe as raining gold when all you have to do is step outside if you want to get rich. Watch the broadcast before the window closes now No matter which ones investors prefer, they work best in combination, painting a more complete picture of an individual equity. Now MarketBeat users can add another tool: the TradeSmith Health Indicator, which evaluates a stock's health based on price action and volatility, using the proprietary Volatility Quotient to set risk thresholds. The result is a stoplight-style tool that classifies stocks as Green (financially healthy and in a strong uptrend), Yellow (hold or watch), or Red (financially unhealthy and in a downtrend). Based on backtesting, the indicator is effective: stocks in the Green Zone have shown a more than 23% average annualized return, while those in the Red Zone have annualized losses of about 2.5%. Currently, the following three stocks are solidly within TradeSmith's Green Zone, offering investors the chance to combine the indicator with others to decide if they fit a buy-and-hold portfolio. ExxonMobil: +6 Months in the TradeSmith Green Zone After years of lagging the market, the energy sector is outperforming the S&P 500, leading all 11 sectors with a year-to-date (YTD) gain of nearly 26% versus the index's YTD decline of 0.4%. Part of that outperformance has been driven by oil major ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), whose shares have gained nearly 23% YTD. Its forward P/E of roughly 20 is lower than the broad S&P 500's P/E of 28 and improves on its trailing 12-month (TTM) P/E of 22, suggesting that despite a nearly 43% gain over the past year, shareholders may see more earnings per dollar invested over the coming year. That is an appealing value proposition for a company that has beaten analysts' expectations for earnings per share (EPS) in six of the last seven quarters. ExxonMobil's earnings are expected to grow more than 21% next year, from $7.43 to $9.02 per share. Supporting ExxonMobil's financial health, the company has averaged gross margins of about 32.75% over the past 10 years. Over the same period, its average annual debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is just 0.22 — for context, a D/E below 1 generally indicates conservative financing and greater financial stability. In XOM's case, over the past decade the company carried only $0.22 of debt for every dollar of shareholder equity. Citigroup: +8 Months in the TradeSmith Green Zone Global financial services firm Citigroup (NYSE: C) has been in TradeSmith's Green Zone since last July. Its forward P/E of 14.45 also improves on its TTM P/E of 15.62, both of which are lower than the broad market's multiples. The stock is down more than 8% in 2026 as the financials sector has struggled, posting a nearly 6% YTD loss — the worst among all 11 sectors of the S&P 500. Analysts see notable upside over the next year, with an average 12-month price target of $127.25, implying a gain of nearly 17% from today's price. MarketRank™ analysis supports that view: Citigroup scores higher than 97% of companies evaluated by MarketBeat and ranks second of 62 stocks in the financial services sector. That strong standing reflects solid underlying results, including a streak of earnings beats — the company has surpassed expectations in 11 of the past 12 quarters dating back to Q1 2023. Citigroup's earnings are expected to grow 25.5% next year, from $7.53 to $9.45 per share. Over the past 10 years, Citigroup has had only one year of net-income contraction while averaging annualized profits of $10.8 billion. NextEra Energy: +5 Months in the TradeSmith Green Zone With a nearly 13% YTD gain, NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) — a company combining regulated utility operations and a competitive renewable energy generation business — has been firmly in TradeSmith's Green Zone since late last year. The company's forward P/E of 24.51 improves on its TTM P/E of 27.42, and analysts rate the stock a Moderate Buy. NextEra Energy's earnings are expected to increase about 7.6% next year, from $3.68 to $3.96 per share. One factor that reinforces the TradeSmith health indicator is NextEra's dividend, which currently yields 2.73% and has an annualized five-year growth rate of 10.15%. The company has funded that dividend growth through substantial cash-flow expansion. Over the past decade, NextEra's net cash from operating activities rose from $6.36 billion in 2016 to $12.48 billion in 2025 — an increase of more than 96%. Over the same period, net income grew from $2.9 billion to $6.83 billion, an increase of more than 135%. |
