Live Poll

Do you think now is a good time to invest in beaten-down stocks?

Goldman Sachs analysts recommended buy-rated stocks including Expedia, Hyatt Hotels, Huntington Ingalls Industries, and Chime. The firm also praised Mastercard's recent earnings report and kept a positive outlook on its shares.

Why it matters

The recommendations rest on recent earnings results and valuation gaps, with Goldman arguing that Huntington Ingalls' shipbuilding demand remains robust and its stock is too cheap to ignore. For investors, the picks highlight where analysts see upside after recent share moves.

Goldman's Hyatt target of $215 per share implies a raise from $197, while Huntington Ingalls shares are down 15% this year despite double-digit revenue growth. Analysts' projections for Huntington Ingalls EPS doubling from 2026 to 2030 remain unverified forecasts.

The players

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs is a major global investment bank whose research division issues equity ratings and price targets widely followed by institutional and retail investors.

Lizzie Dove

The details

Goldman analyst Lizzie Dove raised the Hyatt price target after the company's latest results, which were released October 29. Goldman also included Huntington Ingalls on its Americas Conviction List, noting free cash flow came in ahead of consensus and Chime raised full-year guidance.

October 29: Hyatt Hotels released its latest financial results.
2026: Huntington Ingalls shares fell 15% year to date.
2027: Hyatt is expected to accelerate in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Middle East.
2026 to 2030: Huntington Ingalls is projected to approximately double EPS.

Market Dynamics

Goldman's Americas Conviction List is a named research product that ranks its highest-priority picks by region. Huntington Ingalls' inclusion places it among those picks despite the stock's 15% decline this year.

Investors weighing these picks should compare the analysts' price targets against current share prices before acting. Huntington Ingalls' 15% year-to-date decline and Hyatt's 16% gain show how far the stocks have already moved.

The takeaway

Analyst buy ratings reflect one firm's view and are not guarantees of returns. Compare price targets with current valuations and recent earnings before making investment decisions.
