Costco Wholesale CorpEvercore ISI recommends Costco as a negative beta stock with upward earnings revisions for AI-heavy portfolios.
Evercore ISI has identified four stocks that trade inversely to the S&P 500 as a diversification option for investors overexposed to artificial intelligence. Analyst Julian Emanuel noted that a surging number of stocks now exhibit negative beta, offering diversification without abandoning equity exposure, especially as traditional hedges like emerging markets, bonds, and gold have become less effective. The firm maintained its year-end S&P 500 target of 7,750, with a bull case of 9,000, but recommended negative beta names with upward earnings revisions to navigate near-term volatility. The four Overweight-rated stocks highlighted are Coca-Cola, Costco, T-Mobile, and Mondelez International.
