5 Stocks That Look Way Too Cheap After the Market Selloff

Five stocks are promoted as 'way too cheap' heading into April 2026 (prices cited from April 1, 2026), including one name that is down about 55% from its highs; the video was published April 1, 2026. The piece promotes Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor (citing a 930% total average return vs 185% for the S&P 500 and examples of Netflix and Nvidia multi-hundred-thousand-dollar outcomes) and notes Micron Technology was not among its current top 10 picks.

Analysis

The market-wide pullback has re-priced cyclicals and concentrated-growth differently: AI hardware and software winners are structurally advantaged but create uneven upstream stress on memory and foundry players. Expect a 6–12 month bifurcation where GPU-related demand lifts high-margin software/security (CRWD, selective SaaS) while memory suppliers (MU) face a volatile patch as spot DRAM/NAND swings 10–30% depending on inventory digestion and OEM destocking dynamics.

Macro and technical flow risks dominate the near term: sticky rates or a China demand softness can compress valuations across ad- and consumer-exposed names within weeks, whereas supply-chain normalization (better wafer fab throughput, HBM ramp) is a 3–9 month catalyst for hardware suppliers. Company-level catalysts to watch on quarter cadence: ad-revenue cadence for streaming/media (NFLX, AMZN), enterprise security spend renewals for CRWD, and NAND/DRAM ASP trajectories for MU — any miss can quickly flip implied upside to 20%+ downside.

Actionable structural opportunities are asymmetric: security and cloud-native enablers capture both increased AI spend and recurring revenue, while legacy silicon faces secular margin pressure. Technical positioning also matters — with sentiment only mildly positive, expect rotation trades (long software/AI-ecosystem, short memory or incumbents missing AI cadence) to perform better than naked directional tech longs in the next 3–9 months.

Contrarian angle: the crowd underweights regulatory and integration friction for the largest AI suppliers; that preserves optionality in high-quality software franchises and healthcare (UNH) while making a blunt long-only bet on cyclical memory (MU) too binary. The market may be underpricing durable subscription cash flows and overpricing a near-term cyclical recovery in capital-intensive supply-chain names.

Key Decisions for Investors

• Long CRWD (security/AI-tailwind) vs short INTC (legacy CPU exposure): implement a 60/40 pair sized to 1–2% portfolio risk, horizon 6–9 months. Target relative outperformance of +30% while capping downside ~15% via equal-risk sizing; add if CRWD prints enterprise ARR acceleration next two quarters.
• Buy MU Jan-2028 LEAP 2028 calls (deep in- or at-the-money depending on basis) sized as a 1% option bet, hedge with 1–2% OTM puts or short a small notional of NVDA futures to limit downside to ~25%. Rationale: asymmetric upside if DRAM/NAND pricing normalizes in 9–18 months; plan to take profits at +100–150% or trim on ASP weakness.
• Long NFLX cash/stock (2–3% position) with a 3–6 month horizon to capture ad + pricing cadence; hedge macro risk by buying a small S&P put (1% notional) or pairing with a modest short position in ad-sensitive META if ad indicators roll over. Target +25–40% upside, stop-loss at -15% on subscriber/ARPU misses.
• Overweight UNH for defensive quality: buy UNH (3–4% portfolio) as a duration hedge against tech volatility with a 6–12 month hold. Expect lower volatility and 8–12% total-return potential in a risk-off rotation; trim if credit spreads compress or healthcare policy risk increases.
