Good Stocks To Buy Now 2017 LINK

The year 2022 was a lousy one for the stock market. Even after factoring in dividends, the S&P 500 fell 19.4% in those 12 months, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite took a 33.1% haircut. The catalysts behind Wall Street's sell-off are all too familiar: Inflation, soaring interest rates, persistent recession fears and the Russia-Ukraine war snowballed into an avalanche of worries that investors couldn't ignore, and many previously high-flying stocks took a beating as the "risk off" mindset came to dominate markets. This, thankfully, provided a window of opportunity for investors to snap up great companies at a discount entering the new year.

Before each new year, U.S. News selects 10 stocks to buy for the year ahead. Here's a rundown of the 10 best stocks to buy for 2023 and how each has fared thus far based on total returns, which include dividends:

First up is Apple, the largest publicly traded company in the world, if you exclude government-backed behemoths such as oil giant Saudi Aramco. Like other tech stocks, AAPL shares had a rough go of it in 2022, as recession fears and soaring interest rates spooked investors in the sector. Following a rare 26.4% pullback in 2022, Apple now trades at 26 times earnings, offering investors a sound entry point into the $2.5 trillion iPhone maker. Although its most recent earnings report technically missed expectations, that was more due to supply chain snarls than demand issues. In fact, Apple reported an active-installed base of more than 2 billion devices, and revenue in its high-margin services segment surpassed $20 billion. AAPL stock is bouncing back from its 2022 woes, with shares up 22.5% in 2023 through March 23.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, a $500 billion business and the dominant high-level foundry for advanced chips, is next on the list. In the semiconductor industry, foundries are companies that manufacture chips for other companies, and TSM enjoys a massive market share for chips 7 nanometers and under. Apple, which has started to shift its supply chain away from China, is one of TSM's biggest customers. The company reported fourth-quarter results that beat both top- and bottom-line expectations, with revenue jumping 43% and earnings per share surging 78%. Trading at just 14 times earnings and paying a 2% dividend, TSM is, incidentally, yet another Buffett holding, and its shares have been crushing it in early 2023, posting gains of 27.7% through March 23. TSM is the best-performing stock among the best stocks to buy so far in 2023.

Corporate earnings have exhibited pretty impressive growth as a whole over the past few years, so the market's performance is somewhat justified. However, many stocks do look to be rather expensive right now -- particularly in the tech sector. Yet some bargains remain.

One of my favorite "cheap" stocks right now is AT&T (T 0.89%), even after shares popped following the company's strong quarterly report. The telecom giant pays a dividend yielding more than 5% and is a Dividend Aristocrat, meaning that it has increased its dividend for more than 25 consecutive years.

Despite a low price-to-earnings multiple of just 13 times 2017's expected earnings, AT&T has lots of room to grow, especially thanks to its purchase of DIRECTV and its pending acquisition of Time Warner, both of which should give it an advantage over the competition when it comes to bundling services and broadcasting content directly to smartphones and tablets.

Railroad stocks have been chugging along at full speed this year, making the most of strong freight fundamentals, robust manufacturing activity, and a reviving coal market. Railroads' importance to the economy can't be understated: They haul nearly one-third of all exports, supporting economic activity worth at least $250 billion each year by moving goods across the nation. The Association of American Railroads doesn't call freight rail the "engine that moves America" for nothing.

For investors, the time is ripe to invest in railroad stocks, and there are plenty of good railroad stocks to choose from. Based on revenue, seven major railroads have been classified as U.S. "Class 1." Among these, Grand Trunk Corporation and Soo Line Corporation are the U.S. subsidiaries of Canadian National Railway (CNI 1.44%) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CP 1.33%), respectively, and since both Canadian railroads by themselves are big enough to qualify as Class 1 railroads, I've listed them instead of their subsidiaries:

With management boosting its fiscal 2017 earnings-per-share growth guidance to a range of 8%-11% from its earlier mid-single-digit projections, investors can't go wrong making room for Canadian National in their portfolios.

CSX delivered strong Q1 numbers and projects a mid-60s operating ratio, with adjusted EPS growth of 25% for fiscal 2017. Both of those figures indicate substantial improvements over last year. And that's not all: CSX also increased its dividend by 11% and announced a share-repurchase program worth $1 billion in April, reaffirming its commitment to shareholders.

Neha Chamaria has no position in any stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool owns shares of and recommends Canadian National Railway. The Motley Fool recommends CSX. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

We scoured the nation to identify the best stock in every state. Here are the 12 publicly traded companies based in the Midwest that we picked. Our list of Midwestern stocks is diverse, ranging from the biggest blue-chip name in burgers to a small producer of salt and specialty fertilizers.

Generally, if you have an NOL for a tax year ending in 2017, you must carry back the entire amount of the NOL to the 2 tax years before the NOL year (the carryback period), and then carry forward any remaining NOL. (2017 Pub 536 page 3, 2nd column) If your NOL is more than the taxable income of the year you carry it to (figured before deducting the NOL), you generally will have an NOL carryover to the next year.

The TCJA allows small business taxpayers with average annual gross receipts of $25 million or less in the prior three-year period to use the cash method of accounting. The law expands the number of small business taxpayers eligible to use the cash method of accounting and exempts these small businesses from certain accounting rules for inventories, cost capitalization and long-term contracts. As a result, more small business taxpayers can change to cash method accounting starting after Dec. 31, 2017.

The TCJA makes two modifications to existing law for a C corporation that (1) was an S corporation on Dec. 21, 2017 and revokes its S corporation election after Dec. 21, 2017, but before Dec. 22, 2019, and (2) has the same owners of stock in identical proportions on the date of revocation and on Dec. 22, 2017.

But according to HSBC, we may well return to the world of deflation in 2017, which bodes well for dividend stocks. "Deflationary pressures have been a long time in the making, are largely structural in nature and will not disappear quickly. Aging populations, low productivity growth and high levels of debt are at the very root of this issue, which continues to linger," wrote strategist Herald van der Linde.

While U.S. government bond yields are currently rising, they could fall later in 2017, making utilities, consumer staples and dividend plays popular again. Tencent (700.Hong Kong/TCEHY), NetEase (NTES) and Largan Precision (3008.Taiwan) could all surprise with higher dividend payments, predicts HSBC.
