Why GameStop isn't a value stock, but pure greed: Opening Bid

Warren Buffett built his wealth by being a value investor. But what does it mean to be a value investor today? On today's edition of Opening Bid, Boyar Research president Jonathan Boyar tells Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi how to find value stocks in today's market. He highlights companies like Uber Technologies (UBER), which he says has "a lot of runway for growth." Boyar also shares why he considers Madison Square Garden Sports (MSGS) a value stock amid impressive playoff runs for the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. Regarding meme stocks such as GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC), Boyar says the frenzy is "horrible for investors" and "a recipe to lose money." He also explains why Dow 40,000 isn't a big deal to him and why investors should focus on the next several years, not short-term concerns like the 2024 presidential election.

Why Home Depot is the go-to home improvement stock: Strategist

On today's Good Buy or Goodbye segment, Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman is joined by Zacks Investment Management Client Portfolio Manager Brian Mulberry to dissect his stock picks in the home improvement sector. Mulberry names Home Depot (HD) as a stock to buy, highlighting the company's integrated retail strategy, which he believes "enhances their digital footprint." This approach allows Home Depot to gather more data on consumer trends and increase "wallet share." Additionally, Mulberry notes that the company connects consumers with contractors, enabling them to "maintain better margins" and boost cost control. Lastly, he emphasizes that Home Depot has maintained its professional market share by offering a "wider selection of products that help contractors," thereby increasing margins. On the other hand, Mulberry identifies Lowe's (LOW) as a stock to avoid. He points out that the company is experiencing a consumer spending pullback on big-ticket discretionary items, which he expects to be reflected in their upcoming earnings report as "it's already a measurable change to the downside." Furthermore, Mulberry notes that Lowe's is grappling with "inventory control problems," leading to a loss of margins. Lastly, he highlights the company's substantial debt on its balance sheet, which he says has to be "repriced at a much higher interest rate" under the current rate environment.
