👋 Howdy Partner,

Our investable universe currently contains 193 stocks rated ‘buy’.

8 of them are already in Our Portfolio.

Let’s look at this month’s Buy-Hold-Sell list update and see what interesting opportunities we can find!

Buy-Hold-Sell List

The Buy-Hold-Sell List filters our very large Investable Universe.

You can see all of the details on how it works here:

  • Upgrading the Investable Universe

VectorVest Buy and Sell Recommendations - VectorVest

We look for cheap Dividend Stocks based on three valuation methods:

  1. The PEG Ratio

  2. Current Yield vs Historical

  3. Reverse Dividend Discount Model

Based on this, we give each company a Buy, Hold, or Sell recommendation.

Update August 2025

Some Interesting Stats:

  • 193 companies total receive a ‘buy’ rating

    • That’s down from 208 last month

  • 24 moved from 'hold’ to ‘buy’

  • 17 have moved up from ‘sell’ to ‘hold’

  • Only 1 made the jump from ‘sell’ directly to ‘buy’ - Northland Power

    • 6 companies did so last month.

Recommendation Changes

38 companies went from Buy to Hold due to increasing stock prices.

Here’s a sample of a few:

  • Bio-Rad Laboratories (BIO) develops and sells instruments, software, and consumables used in life science research and clinical diagnostics.

  • Bank of Montreal (BMO) is one of Canada’s largest banks, offering personal and commercial banking, wealth management, and capital markets services.
