Kilburg suggests trimming profits in Netflix due to its high price-to-earnings ratio (39), despite its strong performance and resistance to recession concerns. He notes its historical performance, but cautions that the current valuation warrants consideration of profit-taking.
Kilburg holds a position in Johnson & Johnson, highlighting its diversified supply chain and status as an 'essential' stock, despite its sideways movement over the last three years. He views the recent spin-off of consumer brands positively. Despite beating first-quarter earnings estimates, the stock saw a slight dip.
Kilburg expresses bullish sentiment on Under Armour, describing it as a 'great American brand' and citing a new NFL footwear deal as a positive factor. He recommends a long-term hold, despite the stock being significantly down year-to-date.
The market volatility of the past few weeks has put the stocks of many well-known companies under the microscope, creating potential trading opportunities. Jeff Kilburg, founder and CEO of KKM Financial, said on CNBC's " Power Lunch " on Tuesday that now could be the time for investors to make moves with some familiar stocks. Netflix One stock that Kilburg identified is streaming giant Netflix . Shares rose more than 4% on Tuesday after a Wall Street Journal report about the company's ambitious growth plans. The stock, which is seen as at least somewhat resistant to concerns about a recession , is now up more than 9% this year. However, Kilburg pointed out that the stock is now trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 39. Historically, that is not abnormal for Netflix but is well above the average for the S & P 500. "I want to be a hold of this name, but I want to trim. If you've owned this stock, you've seen a 16% annualized return. This has been a machine, a workhorse. But I think you have to consider taking some profits here, as we see this as the tariff-proof type of stock, but at the end of the day it has been on a monstrous run," he said. Johnson & Johnson Another name Kilburg highlighted is Johnson & Johnson . He has a position in the stock as part of KKM's Essential 40 Stock ETF (ESN) . "It's been sideways for the last three years, but this is an essential name," Kilburg said. He added that he thinks the company's supply chain has been diversified in the post-Covid period, putting the company in a good position to manage through tariffs. Johnson & Johnson's stock has struggled to sustain rallies over the past several years, but is up about 6% year to date. The company spun off many of its consumer-centric brands, such as Tylenol, in 2023 under the Kenvue banner. Shares of Johnson & Johnson fell less than 1% on Tuesday despite the company's first-quarter results beating estimates for adjusted earnings per share and revenue, according to LSEG. Under Armour Another long-term underperformer Kilburg is bullish on is Under Armour . The investor called the struggling apparel company a "great American brand" and pointed to its recent footwear deal with the National Football League as a reason to be optimistic. "I think you buy it here. … This is an opportunity to hold it longer term," Kilburg said. Shares of Under Armour climbed more than 5% on Tuesday after the company announced new board members . However, the stock is still down about 31% this year and trades at below $6 per share. Get Your Ticket to Pro LIVE Join us at the New York Stock Exchange! Uncertain markets?
