InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips

Two insurers in the same industry went in opposite directions in My Stock Grader this week. MetLife, Inc. (MET) moved up to an A, while Allstate Corporation (ALL) slipped to a B. Both carry an A in Quantitative Grade, so the gap comes from their fundamentals. They were among 194 blue-chip stocks whose ratings changed this week (102 upgrades and 92 downgrades), along with Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), which climbed from a D to a C.

This Week’s Key Takeaways

• All 19 stocks that moved up to a Total Grade of A carry an A in Quantitative Grade. Their Fundamental Grades are more mixed, with 7 at B and 12 at C.
• MetLife and Allstate both carry an A in Quantitative Grade. The gap shows up in Fundamental Grade, a B for MetLife and a C for Allstate, and in Total Grade, an A for MetLife and a B for Allstate.
• Energy and pipeline stocks make up 12 of the 32 names downgraded from Very Strong to Strong, including ONEOK, Inc. (OKE) and Energy Transfer LP (ET). Semiconductor stocks account for 7 of the 43 names downgraded from Strong to Neutral, among them Intel Corporation (INTC), KLA Corporation (KLAC) and ON Semiconductor Corporation (ON).

MetLife (MET) Moves Up From Strong to Very Strong

MetLife moved up from a B to an A, the top grade on Stock Grader’s scale. Its Total Grade of A pairs an A in Quantitative Grade with a B in Fundamental Grade. My Stock Grader places the company in the Multi-Line Insurance industry.

MetLife’s fundamentals are strongest on margin growth, earnings growth and cash flow. Its weak spots are earnings momentum and earnings surprises.

• Very Strong: Operating Margin Growth, Earnings Growth, Free Cash Flow
• Strong: Sales Growth, Analyst Earnings Revisions, Return on Equity
• Weak: Earnings Momentum, Earnings Surprises

Allstate (ALL) Slips From Very Strong to Strong

Allstate moved down from an A to a B. Its Total Grade of B pairs an A in Quantitative Grade with a C in Fundamental Grade, and My Stock Grader places it in the same Multi-Line Insurance industry as MetLife.

Allstate’s strengths sit in different places: earnings surprises, analyst revisions and return on equity. Its growth factors are where it falls short.

• Very Strong: Earnings Surprises, Analyst Earnings Revisions, Return on Equity
• Strong: Free Cash Flow
• Weak: Sales Growth, Operating Margin Growth, Earnings Growth
• Very Weak: Earnings Momentum

The biggest gap between the two is growth: MetLife scores Very Strong on Operating Margin Growth and Earnings Growth, where Allstate scores Weak.

Amazon (AMZN) Climbs From Weak to Neutral

Amazon moved up from a D to a C, which puts it in the Neutral category. The Total Grade of C matches a C in both Quantitative Grade and Fundamental Grade, and My Stock Grader files the company under Internet Retail.

Return on Equity is the bright spot in Amazon’s fundamentals. Most of its growth and earnings factors still score Weak.

• Very Strong: Return on Equity
• Strong: Analyst Earnings Revisions
• Neutral: Sales Growth
• Weak: Operating Margin Growth, Earnings Growth, Earnings Surprises, Free Cash Flow
• Very Weak: Earnings Momentum

A Neutral rating sits in the middle of the A to F scale, so the upgrade moves Amazon off the weak end without placing it among the highest-rated stocks.
