The Dow Jones (^DJI) is packed with iconic businesses that have built strong brands and durable market positions. A select few continue to thrive, delivering solid returns and proving their resilience in an evolving market.
Finding the best companies in the Dow Jones isn’t always straightforward, and that’s why we started StockStory. That said, here are three Dow Jones stocks positioned for long-term growth.
Amazon (AMZN)
Market Cap: $2.51 trillion
Founded by Jeff Bezos after quitting his stock-picking job at D.E. Shaw, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is the world’s largest online retailer and provider of cloud computing services.
Why Could AMZN Be a Winner?
- Amazon revolutionized the way consumers shop. This isn’t the only tailwind to its impressive revenue growth, as its highly profitable AWS segment has also driven top-line momentum.
- The company’s best-in-class revenue growth coupled with modest operating leverage on its past infrastructure investments has led to elite EPS growth over a multi-year period.
- Though dominant, Amazon’s capital-intensive e-commerce business means its profitability is structurally lower than its pure-play tech peers. Can the company pull it up, or are we reaching a ceiling?
Amazon’s stock price of $234.30 implies a valuation ratio of 29.3x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
Caterpillar (CAT)
Market Cap: $412 billion
With its iconic yellow machinery working on construction sites, Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) manufactures construction equipment like bulldozers, excavators, and parts and maintenance services.
Why Does CAT Catch Our Eye?
- Excellent operating margin of 16.9% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its rise over the last five years was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
- Free cash flow margin grew by 4.9 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with
- Industry-leading 36.6% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments
At $892.27 per share, Caterpillar trades at 34.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
Amgen (AMGN)
Market Cap: $200.5 billion
Founded in 1980 during the early days of the biotechnology revolution, Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) is a biotechnology company that discovers, develops, and manufactures innovative medicines to treat serious illnesses like cancer, osteoporosis, and autoimmune diseases.
Why Does AMGN Stand Out?
- Annual revenue growth of 12.3% over the last two years beat the sector average and underscores the unique value of its offerings
- Economies of scale give it more fixed cost leverage than its smaller competitors
- Strong free cash flow margin of 27.7% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently
Amgen is trading at $369.60 per share, or 16.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
