We will buy 25 shares of Home Depot at about $407 per share and 14 shares of Blackrock at about $1,041 per share. Jim Cramer’s charitable trust will hold 200 shares of HD stock after Tuesday’s trade, increasing its weighting to 2.25% from about 2%. The trust portfolio used by CNBC Investment Club will hold 75 shares of BLK stock following the transaction, increasing its weighting from approximately 1.75% to approximately 2.15%. This is our second trading alert of the day. On Tuesday morning, we raised cash by trimming our position in Broadcom to lock in the triple-digit percentage gains from the stock’s recent parabolic move; and sold Advanced Micro Devices shares on fundamental concerns. These are sales driven by discipline. But there’s another discipline we must adhere to: the S&P 500 Short Range Oscillator. The technical tool suggested the market was becoming more oversold after Monday’s trading. According to the oscillator, when the market is oversold, we view broader market weakness as an opportunity to buy shares of quality companies. That’s why we put in the cash. HD YTD mountain Home Depot One quality stock we are buying so far this year is Home Depot. The home improvement retailer’s shares have retreated about 6% from recent highs and have fallen slightly since the company reported better-than-expected third-quarter results. We were encouraged by Home Depot’s earnings report, which showed the smallest comparable sales decline in nearly two years. This is a good sign that the business is bottoming out and will see positive changes next year. BLK YTD mountain BlackRock YTD We also increased our position in BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. Our most recent acquisition came shortly after the company announced last Monday its $12 billion acquisition of HPS Investment Partners. This is a big deal for BlackRock because it will make it a leader in private credit, one of the fastest-growing areas of finance. After the acquisition is completed, BlackRock will become a top five credit management company with estimated private credit client assets of approximately US$220 billion. Not only does this deal add to BlackRock’s growing expense base, but we think the stock should command a higher P/E ratio in the market as a result. The company’s recent acquisition spree of faster-growing opportunities like HPS and the recently completed Global Infrastructure Partners deal should result in a re-rating of the stock’s P/E ratio from traditional money managers to alternative managers, which typically trade in obtain higher valuations in the market.
