Evercore (EVR)
-
Overview: Evercore, a boutique M&A firm with some asset management activity, is down 45% since September due to a stalled IPO market and reduced M&A activity.
-
Why Liz Likes It:
-
70% of Evercore’s revenues come from the U.S., insulating it from tariff risks as a service company.
-
Strong balance sheet with a $14 billion buyback program.
-
Expected recovery in M&A activity once market certainty returns, making this a compelling entry point.
-
-
Outlook: With a 2-year horizon, Evercore is poised for upside as M&A and IPO markets rebound.

-
GE Healthcare (GEHC)
-
Overview: GE Healthcare, spun off from GE in early 2023, is a leading manufacturer of imaging equipment (MRIs, CTs, ultrasounds). The stock dropped 16% in one day on tariff concerns in early April.
-
Why Liz Likes It:
-
Current tariffs are estimated to impact margins by only 10 basis points, less severe than analyst fears.
-
GE Healthcare is integrating AI into its imaging software, enhancing diagnostics and enabling personalized therapies, positioning it for transformative growth in healthcare.
-
Despite supply chain concerns from China, global demand for its equipment remains strong.
-
-
Earnings Context: Reports results on April 30, 2025. Investors seek guidance on supply chain risks and order backlogs, as customers delay purchases amid uncertainty.
-
Outlook: A 2-year investment horizon is recommended, with AI-driven innovation and recovering demand driving upside.

3. Carlisle Companies (CSL)
-
Overview: Carlisle Companies (ticker: CSL, not to be confused with Carlyle Group, CG) specializes in highly engineered roofing and waterproofing. The stock has fallen from $480 to $350, hit by a slowdown in commercial construction and broader homebuilding challenges.
-
Why Liz Likes It:
-
90% of revenues are U.S.-based, reducing tariff exposure on the supply side.
-
Exposure to retrofits and repairs provides steady demand, as homeowners and businesses maintain existing properties amid high interest rates.
-
Trading at 16x this year’s earnings, the stock offers value with consistent product demand.
-
-
Earnings Context: Reports on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, before the market opens.
-
Outlook: Carlisle benefits from near-term clarity on tariffs and longer-term growth as construction rebounds. Its retrofit business performed well last year despite high rates, and roof replacement demand remains resilient.
