Mega-cap tech stocks remain in the headlines even as the AI industry has experienced turbulence in recent weeks, but many analysts have turned elsewhere for compelling opportunities with lesser-known companies. Those investors willing to look past the market's most popular names may still find businesses with strong earnings momentum, meaningful upside potential, and reasonable valuations.
Three companies that analysts favor and that may be worth a closer look include JBS S.A. (NYSE: JBS), Primis Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FRST), and Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO). Representing a wide variety of industries, these firms nonetheless share an important characteristic: Wall Street analysts see attractive upside potential despite their affordability for investors.
