We Ranked 100 SaaS Stocks. These are the Best 4. |
SaaS is totally hot. Right?
Here’s the problem. Most investors don't really know what SaaS is, exactly — let alone which companies are actually worth buying. So we put 100 SaaS stocks through WallStreetZen's Zen Ratings system to separate the real opportunities from the hype. The results were surprising: 63 earned a C rating or worse, while only 7 received an A.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was how many household names landed in the middle of the pack.
All of these big names merely earned C ratings, which amount to a Hold recommendation ... and therefore, these are NOT the best picks...
CrowdStrike (CRWD)
Snowflake (SNOW)
Adobe (ADBE)
and Palantir (PLTR).
These remain excellent businesses, but today's valuations and underlying fundamentals make them far less compelling than many investors assume.
The companies that stood out weren't necessarily the most popular. They were the ones pairing strong fundamentals with attractive valuations.
As a service to you, we further refined that list of 7 A-rated stocks to deliver what we believe are the 4 highest-potential names among the bunch.
