The study has been created by crossing data from various departments of investing.com Spain to create added value to the content. Giving some than others signals about the best values to be hired in this new year in the Spanish stock market.
As data to highlight we have found companies such as Urbas, with an annual profitability of 118%, or Faes Farma and eDreams with 70% and 63% profitability respectively. Also assets such as Palladium, which is a great unknown for investors with an annual return of almost 42%. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning negative surprises for assets as popular as Bankia, which lost 32%, or Santander with losses of up to 9%. As some of the most significant data presented by the stock market at the beginning of the year and very sensitive to the operations of small and medium investors.
On the other hand, one of the options that investors have at hand this year is to contract securities that have lost the most in the past year. Like those that have increased their dividend in the next few years and that can constitute a clear strategy to increase the balance of our checking or savings accounts in this period. Depending on the profiles presented by small and medium investors: intermediate, aggressive or defensive. Either way, with greater caution in operations to what may happen in the rest of the year. Because many complex situations will emerge that will test retail investors from now on.
Ideas in investing: bullish pull
There is no doubt that one of the sectors that have finished the year the best has been the banking sector with clear revaluations in the last two months. To the point that in some of the cases they have surpassed supports of a certain importance that invite to take positions in the securities with greater guarantees of success. At least in the short term, that is to say 6 or 8 months after the investment. Both with regard to large banks and small and medium financial companies. Being one of the sectors that presents the best technical aspect, at least in what refers to the short term.
While on the other hand, this is a stock market sector in which you must always be present due to the great specific weight that it has in the selective index of Spanish equities, the Ibex 35. If it rises there is no doubt that the values of the The banking sector will also do so and with greater intensity than the rest. Which is, after all, what is involved in this taking of positions in one of the most powerful segments of national equities. To the point that they become leaders in the ups or downs depending on each special case.
Cyclical values although with risk
One of the options investors have on hand this year is to trade stocks from cyclical sectors. In the event that there is a rebound in the international economy since they are the ones that rise the most in this very specific scenario. Although in return there will be no choice but to assume the volatility in their prices, with a divergence in them that can even exceed 5% in most of the cases. But on the contrary, in a clearly bullish stock market, they will be the ones that will pull the Ibex 35 and the national continuous market. As has always happened over the years and that they have been chosen in these very favorable periods to open positions in the equity markets.
Within this general context, there is no doubt that it can be an idea in the investment for this current year, provided that the conditions mentioned above are met. Because if this were not the case, a lot of money could be lost with this class of securities as can be shown by investors with more experience in this class of operations. Therefore, be very careful with open movements in cyclicals because you can make a lot of money, but also lose it from now on.
Small and mid caps
They are the great forgotten of the equity markets, but once the Ibex 35 is exhausted they are the ones that can pull up with particular force. In this sense, there are real jewels that have a high potential for revaluation with percentages higher than 10% and in some cases even more strongly. While on the contrary, in some cases they show an oversold level that can be very interesting for the interests of small and medium investors. And that at any other time they can explode to the upside from now on. But they have the difficulty that it is more complex to adjust entry and exit prices.
On the other hand, this class of securities are more sensitive to being presented with greater volatility in the formation of prices. This factor in practice means that they are more suitable for speculators' operations by presenting significant differences between their maximum and minimum prices. With a trading operation that can be carried out in a very few hours with the aim of collecting the accumulated capital gains in such a short space of time. Which is, after all, one of the desired goals of these special users. In what is conformed as one of the hallmarks in this format in speculative investment that requires a more defined investor profile. Although in return there will be no choice but to assume the volatility in their prices.
Opt for defensive stocks
It is another of the alternatives that the most conservative investors in the market have at hand. So that in this way they are not exposed to fluctuations in their price. With securities from the electricity, highways or food sector that also distribute an excellent dividend yield. With a fixed and guaranteed interest rate that moves between 4% and 7% through a payment that is annual. A good purchase in the stock markets means making a lot of progress so that the results in the form of capital gains do not take long to arrive, but for this we must take a series of guidelines and also precautions with the aim that a bad taking of positions can weigh down our investment in the future, even at the cost of developing in a bullish period.
Before taking positions in a security, it is advisable to study its technical and fundamental aspect, not to leave it to a random choice that can only bring problems towards the interests of small and medium investors, mainly in the form of handicaps.
Entering the right sectors simplifies the selection task when building a portfolio, as it will likely capture positive market sentiment, whatever the bet chosen, as long as the fundamental data of the companies is positive.
