Market Insights: Valuations and Stock Strategies

On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter podcast, David Sekera and Susan Dziubinski chat about whether U.S. stocks are overvalued, which types of stocks—growth or value—look more attractive right now, and if it might be time for investors to ease up on buying stocks.

They also cover where things stand on tariffs and which economic and earnings reports to watch this week, unpack new Morningstar research about high-profile companies like Palantir and Eli Lilly after earnings, and revisit a few former stock picks, identifying which ones are still stocks to buy today.

This week’s picks are all undervalued stocks from sectors that look overpriced.
