Intro

On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter podcast, Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski take a look back at some of their best and worst stock buy and sell calls of 2025. Although Morningstar’s approach to stock investing is decidedly long term, they discuss why reviewing stock pick hits and misses each year on the podcast is nonetheless important.

They end wrap this week’s episode with four undervalued stock picks from 2025 that still look attractive heading into the new year.
