The Tariff Game Just Changed: 7 Blue-Chip Bargains To Buy Now
Unprecedented Opportunities: Recent market panic has created deep discounts among world-class blue-chip companies trading at 52-week lows, offering up to 100% potential returns and secure yields approaching 8%. Trade War Realities: Despite severe pessimism driven by historic tariff increases (highest since 1909), the actual economic impact might be significantly less dire, potentially avoiding recession altogether. Institutional strategies, such as pensions and risk parity funds, may soon trigger substantial stock-buying due to automatic rebalancing. This would provide strong support and fuel market rallies from oversold conditions.

Q4 earnings were mixed while 2025 full-year guidance was a bit softer than desired. Revenue growth is expected to remain at average levels, however. The P/S ratio has plummeted to multiyear lows, suggesting that investors have overreacted to the modestly weakening fundamentals.
