(New York)
Morgan Stanley has put out a unique list of stocks. The bank has published a piece outlining what it sees as the thirty best stocks for the medium term. The picks are based on having a sustainable competitive advantage and were viewed as having the best chance in this sideways-moving market. Some of the picks include: Accenture, Alphabet, BlackRock, BNY Mellon, Charles Schwab, Dollar General, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Salesforce.com.
FINSUM: This is a very interesting list, especially because it is cross-sector (which does not happen as much given the sector-first structure of equity research). It was also particularly useful that many of these names are in wealth or asset management, allowing advisors special insight.
