Poor Prospects for Low Volatility Stocks?

Eulerpool Research Systems Jun 17, 2025

Takeaways NEW

  • Innovative concepts and 'high quality' stocks could offer better opportunities.
  • Stocks with low volatility do not always offer strong long-term performance.
Stability in stocks is reassuring for many investors, but it does not always come with strong long-term performance. Investors who mainly focus on safety risk missing out on lucrative opportunities. This situation highlights the need to carefully distinguish between promising and less promising investments. An example of a low-volatility stock that is not convincing is McCormick, known for its spices and seasoning blends. With a price of USD 73.87 per share and an expected price-earnings ratio of 23.7, there are concerns about its future performance. A similar case is Solventum: Although the company in the healthcare sector is traded at a relatively low 13.2 times expected earnings, experts still recommend caution. Another example is Brookline Bancorp. Despite a low price-to-book ratio of 0.5 at a price of USD 10.69 per share, there are doubts about its growth prospects. Meanwhile, markets have developed strongly following Donald Trump's electoral victory in November 2024. However, uncertainty about trade decisions is leading to muted growth forecasts for 2025. While some investors are waiting, we focus on innovative concepts that can thrive independently of political or economic conditions. It is worth taking a look at the 183 percent return of our carefully selected portfolio of "High Quality" stocks that have outperformed the market over the last five years. Case studies like Nvidia, with an impressive growth of 1,545% since 2020, or the no longer inconspicuous player Kadant, with a rise of 351%, underline the potential of these approaches. Let yourself be inspired and find your next winner.
