Potential Buyout Sends This Stock Soaring

Trade of the Day Wake-Up Watchlist

There is currently no offer and it is still possible the two companies won't reach a deal.

Good morning Wake-Up Watchlisters! While you're sipping that first oat milk latte you'll see stocks bumped up slightly after President Joe Biden mentioned China tariffs imposed by Trump are in consideration. This led to futures rising as bargain hunters could pull the S&P 500 back from bear-market levels.

Despite the tough markets, we are still ringing the register in The War Room. Last week we had one of our boldest trades of the year, hitting three out of four winners in the most geopolitically charged market in years! Click here to unlock those trades.

 

Here's a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.

VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW)

VMware Inc. is up 19.19% premarket after reports said Broadcom is in talks to buy the cloud-computing company. Broadcom (AVGO) is a chip maker with a market value of about $222 billion. There is currently no offer and it is still possible a deal won't be reached. Keep an eye on VMware going forward.

 

EQT (NYSE: EQT)

EQT Corp. is up 5.09% premarket after nine analysts revised the company' earnings estimate for fiscal 2022. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.72 to $2.73 per share. EQT's average earnings surprise stands at 93.3%. EQT is looking strong.

 

International Flavors & Fragrances (NYSE: IFF)

International Flavors & Fragrances (NYSE: IFF) is up 4.72% premarket after a strong May earnings report. The company increased its sales 31% to $3.2 billion. The company also invested $629 million into research and development for fiscal 2021, which was close to double compared to other years. But full-year revenue also doubled over that same timeframe, so the percentage remained the same. Keep an eye on International Flavors & Fragrances going forward.

 

Broadcom Inc. (Nasdaq: AVGO)

Broadcom is down 4.31% premarket as the company enters talks to acquire VMware Inc., the cloud-computing company. This potential blockbuster tech deal could vault the chipmaker into a highly specialized area of software. Broadcom is looking volatile right now.

Warning: The Last Value Play Gone After August?

Time is gone! Boss showing watch bad manager.
 

In this market...

There's only ONE STOCK (priced at just under $2) that could be $20 and STILL be a bargain.

It brought in more income – including equity sales - in the last 12 months than Disney, Square or Tesla.

But a key announcement in August could send this stock rocketing skyward (and you could miss your chance... FOREVER).
