There is no shortage of uncertainty on the stock market today.
Investors were left to scratch his head after President Trump announced that the world prices on April 2, then put the “reciprocal” prices with most of the world on break for 90 days, intensified a trade war with China, and has since returned the prices on the prices on electronics while saying that it could withdraw the prices on the car.
Consequently, the S&P 500 (^ GSPC 0.13%)) is now in a correction, defined as a decline of at least 10% compared to a recent summit. While investors can be nervous about the trade war and the growing risk of recession, long -term investors know that sales represent purchasing opportunities because quality companies have become cheaper.
On this note, take a look at two battered actions that could double over the next two years.

1. Target
Investors cannot run away Target (Tgt 2.93%)) Quite quickly, it seems. The actions of the venerable detailler are now down 65% of their peak during the pandemic, and it is understandable why.
Target has had trouble developing since the end of the pandemic, because consumer discretionary expenses have been weak, his pandemic momentum has been in the grip of internal problems such as theft. The company has just ended a year with comparable sales and profit and benefits by action. Target does not predict the growth in action by action this year, providing for a range of $ 8.80 to $ 8.90 with sales and growth in stable comparable income.
However, these opposite winds now seem fully evaluated as a Target price / benefit ratio fell to only 10.5. To this evaluation, the action could double without change of profit, and it would always exchange a discount by the S&P 500.
Target’s assessment will not jump, but the company has a plan to invigorate the brand. This includes leaning further on its brands belonging like Cat & Jack, its range of children’s clothes, and all in motion, its Athleisure brand, which has provided solid growth. It aims to regain its magic from the brand “Tarzhet”, or its cheap chic reputation which it seems to have moved away from recent years. The company also provides for new openings and store renovations and plans to add at least $ 15 billion in sales over the next five years.
The company’s income is currently much lower than their peak a few years ago, which means that if Target can return to its previous health, the stock could soar. It may need macroeconomic environment help to double, but if the company shows signs of improvement, the stock has a lot of potential upwards.
2. Micron
Another original trading with a discount that has a lot of space to execute at the moment is Micron (Mu -0.77%))The main manufacturer of computer memory chips.
Micron’s activities are very cyclical because the prices of memory chips can change quickly, as we saw in 2022 when smartphones sales dropped and there was an overabundance in the industry.
However, Micron is now in a much stronger position than at the time, because it clearly benefits from the AI boom. During its last quarter, its income from the data center have more than doubled, stimulating its overall income growth at 38%. Micron’s biggest customer is now NvidiaAnd this company has become a key partner of the chief of the flea of AI.
Micron could be affected by the wind contrary winds resulting from the trade war, but the growth of the AI should continue while large technological companies stimulate that spending recognizes that it is essential not to late in AI.
Micron is now negotiated at a price / profit ratio of only 10 depending on his expected profits. Like Target, micron prices discomfort seems excessive, and it should not take much so that the stock moves higher from here, although the macro climate is likely to weigh on the stock.
If the company can simply achieve the current expectations of analysts in the coming quarters, which provide $ 11.08 in EPS adjusted the next year, its graph of shares should go highly. Given the low evaluation of Micron and the rapid growth of companies, a double is certainly accessible in the next two years.
