Pandemic lockdowns provided Garmin with a big boost, but the stock has since gone on to hit today’s all-time highs. Going forward, we still like its prospects for growth despite its competitive markets. We think this Power Buy is poised to move even higher for you.
Amazon is the largest e-commerce company, but its grocery business hasn’t grown as fast as some rivals’. For example, Walmart’s larger online grocery business now offers same-day deliver to 90% of the U.S.
ALCON, $81.04, remains a #1 Power Buy for 2025. The firm (New York symbol ALC; TSINetwork Rating: Average) (www.alcon.com; Shares outstanding: 499.7 million; Market cap: $40.8 billion; Dividend yield 0.4%) has lowered its outlook for 2025. That’s mostly due to the continuing drag from U.S. tariffs.
The Swiss-American eye-care company generates almost half of its revenue in the U.S.—and U.S. tariffs on goods from Switzerland currently stand at a very high 39%.

There’s no question that the world’s aging population will continue to spend more on medical services for years to come. Medical device makers are well positioned to capture a share of that increased spending. We continue to see attractive investment opportunities among the top industry device firms. That includes Boston Scientific, whose diversification across multiple high-growth product categories offers investors a bright future. By the way, the company holds the leading position in most of those categories. Boston Scientific is a Power Buy.
Why we like spinoffs so much
We think that spinoffs are the closest thing you can find to a sure thing for two main reasons:

In November 2016, Yum Brands spun off its Chinese operations as Yum China. Investors received one share of the new firm for each YUM share they held.
The split has worked out well for both firms—Yum is up over 130%, while Yum China has gained nearly 80%.
We still like the outlook for both, particularly as their digital ordering platforms are speeding up service and encouraging higher customer spending per visit. Their rising earnings also give them more cash for dividends and share buybacks.

Spinoffs tend to unlock value, as investors prefer “pure-play” firms that they can easily evaluate. While we still like the long-term outlooks for Maple Leaf Foods (which is planning a spinoff) and Dow (a spinoff), we don’t see them as attractive for new buying right now.
