A handful of those stocks currently carry a favorable Zacks Rank. These stocks are likely to regain momentum in the second quarter as steadily dwindling inflation, strong fundamentals of the U.S. economy and expectations of interest rate cut this year are likely to help reviving their businesses.\nPositive Catalysts\nThe Department of Commerce reported that the U.S. economy grew at a clip of 3.4% in fourth-quarter 2023, well above the initial consensus estimate of 2%. The U.S. GDP rose 2.5% in 2023 compared with 1.9% in 2022. At the beginning of 2023, the consensus estimate for full-year GDP was 2%. On Apr 4, the Atlanta Fed GDPNow tracker forecast a 2.5% growth rate for first-quarter 2024, indicating, no chance of a near-term recession.\nThe CME FedWatch currently shows a 53% probability of the first cut of the existing Fed funds rate in the June FOMC meeting. On Apr 3, in a speech at Stanford University, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated that the central bank will start reducing the Fed fund rate at some point of time this year. However, he also cautioned that the time of the rate cut will depend on upcoming economic data, especially the inflation data.\nOur Top Picks\nWe have narrowed our search to five S&P 500 stocks that lagged the index in the first quarter. However, these stocks have strong potential for 2024. They have seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the last 60 days. Each of our picks carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.\nThe chart below shows the price performance of our five picks year to date.\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nAutomatic Data Processing Inc. ADP continues to enjoy a dominant position in the human capital management market through strategic buyouts like Celergo, WorkMarket, Global Cash Card and The Marcus Buckingham Company.\nADP is focused on delivering a complete suite of cloud-based HCM and HR Outsourcing solutions. Further, ADP continues to innovate, improve operations and invest in its transformation efforts. ADP has a strong business model, high recurring revenues, good margins, robust client retention and low capital expenditure.\nAutomatic Data Processing has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 6.3% and 11.1%, respectively, for the current year (ending June 2024). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.1% over the last 60 days.\nWelltower Inc. WELL owns a well-diversified portfolio of healthcare real estate assets in the key markets of the United States, Canada and the U.K. Given an aging population and an expected rise in senior citizens’ healthcare expenditure, WELL’s seniors housing operating portfolio is well-positioned to capitalize on this positive trend.\nThe outpatient medical segment is expected to benefit from the favorable outpatient visit trends in the near term. WELL’s strategic restructuring initiatives have enabled it to attract operators and improve its cashflows. WELL enjoys solid balance sheet strength and its capital-recycling efforts are encouraging.\nWelltower has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 10.6% and 10.7%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.3% over the last 30 days.\nTE Connectivity Ltd. TEL is benefiting from the well-performing transportation solutions segment. The growing proliferation of EVs and strong content trends in electronification are driving automotive sales of TEL. Further, improvements in commercial aerospace and solid momentum across renewable applications are aiding the performance of industrial solutions.\nAdditionally, growing momentum across interventional procedures is aiding medical sales of TEL. We believe the strength in transportation and industrial solutions is likely to remain positive. Solid free cash flow generating ability boosts TEL’s prospects.\nTE Connectivity has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 0.4% and 12.3%, respectively, for the current year (ending September 2024). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.3% over the last 60 days.\nHost Hotels & Resorts Inc. HST is well-poised to benefit from its portfolio of luxury and upper-upscale hotels in the top U.S. markets and the lucrative Sunbelt region, having strong demand drivers. HST is expected to witness a stable operating environment on the back of continuous improvement in group business, a gradual recovery in business transient and steady demand for leisure activities.\nThis is likely to support HST’s revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth. We project comparable RevPAR to rise 4.2% year over year in 2024. An aggressive capital-recycling program is expected to improve HST’s portfolio quality over time. A healthy balance sheet will likely pave the way to capitalize on long-term growth opportunities.\nHost Hotels & Resorts has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 5.3% and 2.6%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 2.6% over the last 30 days.\nJack Henry & Associates Inc. JKHY is benefiting from growing services and support and processing revenues. The rise in data processing and hosting fees is contributing well to JKHY’s top line. Strength in its card processing solutions, owing to expanding transaction volumes and growing payment processing and digital revenues are major positives.\nAdditionally, strong momentum across JKHY’s lending platform is a tailwind. Strength across the Core, Payments, Complementary and Corporate segments is expected to benefit its financial performance in the days ahead. Moreover, JKHY’s growing cost efficiency is expected to boost its revenues in the upcoming period.\nJack Henry & Associates has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 6.9% and 21.8%, respectively, for the current year (ending June 2024). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 2% over the last 60 days.\nWant the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
