4 More Company Stocks to Watch in 2018
The stock market in 2018 is already off to a hot start, as mentioned in a previous post. Many big names have been making huge moves sending thousands of indexes higher than many analysts expected. And yet, there are still some additional stocks that have managed to accomplish some very big things while remaining under the radar. These four companies in particular are making some big strides:
- Discovery Communications Inc.
- Alaska Air Group
- Ford Motor Co.
- China Merchants Bank
Discovery Communications Inc.
Discovery is known largely for their variety of television channels, but the communications company is so much more than what is seen on TV. The company is quickly expanding their news division to get up-to-the-minute news to viewers all over the world. The topics will range from, of course, the environment, to politics, and many others. Though you wouldn’t know it, this media giant has quietly positioned itself to be one of the best performing stocks of 2018, and has the potential to go very far.
Alaska Air Group
In a time when more people are travelling by air than ever, Alaska Air Group has continued to impress investors with the way their business is run. Their recent push to promote sustainability in the airline industry is just one of the many reasons that investors are going to want to keep their eye on this stock in the coming months. They’re doing so well, in fact, that they’re even acquiring other airlines, which is a great sign for investors.

Ford Motor Co.
While Ford is seen as one of the oldest stocks on this list, it still has quite the potential for growth. Ford is investing highly in electric vehicles which consumers have long been asking for. If they are the first to mass produce an affordable and reliable all electric based vehicle, their stock is poised to profit handsomely. Other investments such as additional real estate Detroit to test self-driving cars has also helped this car company regain traction.
China Merchants Bank
For those who might not be up to speed on the global financial industry, China Merchants Bank’s strong fiscal responsibility has been its underlying strength. The Asian financial market continues to be one of the strongest in the world because of the constantly growing population and billions of dollars in investments. As this bank becomes more developed and more projects need financing, China Merchants Bank could easily become a household name, worldwide.
