Ok my first stock is Electronic Arts, ticker symbol, EA

Most millennials should know what electronic arts is.

Instead of spending most of our childhood out in the garden we probably spent it playing

addicting games made by this company.

The Sim’s, FIFA, c’mon who didn’t.

So Electronic Arts are a company that develops and sells games, content and services to mainly

the younger generation.

Some well-known games they published include FIFA, Madden NFL, Battlefield and Need for

Speed.

They sell these games through general retail stores and online.

And gaming seems to be an industry that just keeps on growing.

And it looks like it’s taking over.

The younger generation aren’t getting outside as much playing sports and hide and seek or

whatever, instead they’re inside with their headsets on and exercising their fingers.

And this shows in the numbers.

360 million people watched the league of legends final.

While only 111 million watched the Superbowl and 30 million the NBA finals.

A change in consumer trends.

Electronic Arts is one of the companies that is pegged to benefit from the rise in gaming

culture which is why I’ve got it as one of my stocks.

Let’s get into the numbers of EA.

So they’re currently selling for a price of $128.5 dollars and generating earnings

of $3.21.

So this gives them a P/E ratio of 40 which is fairly high.

But we have to take into account that this is a growing company.

Hence why they’re not paying any dividends, they’re using their profit to grow and expand.

And growing and expanding is exactly what this stock has been doing over the past couple

of years.

It became profitable around 2014 and earnings have just shot up since then.

Ok let’s switch to my 2nd stock: Alibaba Group Holding, ticker symbol, BABA

This is another company poised to benefit from change in consumer trends.

Alibaba holdings owns a bunch of companies that operate as an online commerce company.

So through their services, technology and products they help other companies and people

do business online.

Through their founder Jack Ma they’re known as the company that has transformed the way

business is done in China.

They’re kind of like China’s version of Amazon, but less expensive.

Now there are 2 reasons why I’ve got Alibaba as one of my stocks.

First is their leader Jack Ma.

One of the things I look for when investing in stocks is companies with vigilant leaders.

Jack Ma definitely appears to be one just through the values he espouses and the unique

way he thinks.

Go listen to some of his talks on YouTube and I’m sure you’ll see this.

The other reason is their continued growth prospects.

Look at the way they have managed to increase their revenue in the past couple of years.

This year’s earnings figures were not as good as expected.

But this appears to be because of investments in new business segments which should drive

earnings growth in the future.

If we have a look at the figures we can see that they are selling for a price of 200.28

dollars and they’re generating earnings of $4.08.

This obviously gives them a high P/E ratio of 49 but they are a stock pegged to grow

and profit from the change in the way business is done.

Also a company similar to Alibaba Is Amazon and their P/E is 255.

So Alibaba’s about a quarter of the price.

I think Alibaba could potentially be worth the premium that they are selling for.

Ok and now my final stock for April.

The 22nd largest company in the United States, Express Scripts Holding Company, ticker symbol,

ESRX They’re what’s known as a pharmacy benefit

management company.

So they basically deal in all things pharmaceutical from home delivery to pharmacy claim’s processing.

Express Scripts is my value investment pick for the month, because of their attractive

fundamentals.

They’re selling for a price of $76 dollars with a low Price to earnings ratio of 9.82.

It’s one of the companies that I see being good value for money in this market.

Earnings have been increasing nicely year in and year out.

As you can see in 2015 they had revenue of 2.48 billion and that’s been increased to

4.52 billion in 2017.

Overall a good value pick.

So those are my 3 stocks, let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks guys and make sure you have a great rest of the day!
