Tobacco. Telecom. Pipelines. Healthcare real estate.

Nobody wants to talk about them at a dinner party, and that's roughly why they trade at 10 to 15 times earnings while the index yields about 1%. These are cash-generating businesses the market has quietly stopped caring about.

Our free report works that neglected corner of the market. Seven companies, a 5% forward yield floor on recurring dividends only, roughly 6.5% average cash yield, and a cap of two picks from any single sector so the list isn't one bet wearing seven hats.

Every name comes with its coverage numbers and an honest bear case. Some of these have real problems — slow dividend growth, patent expirations, leverage. The report says so.

If you'd rather own dull cash flow than chase a story, this list is for you.

GitLab’s Earnings Beat Just Gave Software Bulls a New SaaSpocalypse Test

Reported by Thomas Hughes. Originally Published: 9/2/2026.

GitLab’s (NASDAQ: GTLB) SaaS-pocalypse rebound is gaining momentum after an earnings report that validated the software sector. The company’s metrics show intensifying demand for its products, which include embedded AI and governance tools across its software development platform. The ultimate impact of AI disruption on SaaS stocks remains uncertain, but it is clearly driving increased software development, which is GitLab’s specialty.

Governance and compliance are critical factors in this story, as GitLab’s DevSecOps platform is a crucial component of heavily regulated industries, including healthcare, financial services, defense and the public sector. These sectors face intense scrutiny around integrity, reliability and security, which GitLab is well-positioned to support.

Chain Reaction: Strong Results Lead to a Stock Price Surge

A letter from Shannon Stansberry (Ad)

Porter Stansberry nearly canceled the entire project. When he first saw the claimed returns - only one down year in nearly two decades and total gains of almost 2,000% - his immediate reaction was disbelief.

It took a trusted friend's personal vouching for Emmet Savage and a face-to-face trip to Ireland to change his mind. The full documentary, Investigating Project Prophet, is now live.

Watch the full story and see the verified track record for yourself

Among the catalysts emerging from the Q2 fiscal year (FY2027) release are analysts’ responses and the stock price surge they helped drive. Analysts who had been raising their targets ahead of the release issued another string of price-target increases and upgrades afterward, strengthening the positive sentiment trend and forecasting fresh highs.

MarketBeat currently tracks 29 analysts, a sufficiently large group for strong conviction, who rate the stock at a consensus of Hold. The post-release surge brought the share price closer to the consensus target, suggesting that near-term upside may be limited. However, the trend is moving toward the high end of the range and a nearly two-year stock price high. Based on the more than 100% increase in first orders, the likely outcome is that momentum continues to build, upcoming releases outperform expectations and analyst sentiment continues to strengthen.

The stock price surge is monumental. GitLab jumped more than 20% in after-hours and premarket trading, extending its strong rebound. The move puts the stock at an 18-month high and on track to test critical resistance near $60. It aligns with prior price action and may cap gains until the company releases its subsequent report.

GitLab Blows Past Forecasts, Raises Guidance as Internals Accelerate

GitLab had a robust quarter, putting many of the market’s fears to rest. Net revenue of $286.3 million rose 21.3% year over year (YOY), beating consensus by 475 basis points on strength in new clients and offerings. Net new annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew more than 40%, and the net retention rate (NRR) accelerated to 117% as existing clients increased their use of GTLB services such as Flex. Flex is a new pricing structure that enables enterprises to consolidate software spending into a single annual commitment, providing clients with better visibility and cost outcomes. For GTLB, the structure is driving increased adoption of its services.

Segmentally, the core Subscription business grew 21.4%, while Licensing also posted solid 20% growth. SaaS represented 34% of total revenue and grew 36% year over year, while total remaining performance obligation (RPO) rose 16% to $1.2 billion. Customers with more than $100,000 in ARR grew 17%, and deals of $500,000 or more increased by more than 150%, strengthening GitLab’s revenue visibility and enterprise-demand story.

Margin news was mixed: Margins contracted YOY, but they came in better than expected, which could support higher share prices. Key details included a 15% adjusted operating margin, positive free cash flow and adjusted earnings of 24 cents per share. Earnings were flat YOY but came in 6 cents, or about 33%, above the forecast.

GitLab Guides for Strength: Momentum Gains Suggest a Cautious Outlook

Guidance is also a catalyst for higher share prices. The company expects its strengths to continue, issuing favorable Q3 FY2027 targets and raising its full-year outlook. The new targets put the low end of the expected range in line with consensus. If the targets are not above consensus, they still signal strength that the market may be underestimating. Agentic AI has only just begun to flourish, with strength across the software ecosystem pointing to accelerating momentum in the coming quarters.

Institutions reflect strong confidence in the stock, owning more than 95% of the shares. Just as importantly, they have been accumulating shares quarterly for more than a year, underpinning market support for GTLB. Their activity noticeably strengthened in early Q3 FY2027, with buying activity spiking and selling dropping to nearly zero. This suggests limited downside in Q3 and Q4, though pullback risk remains. The sudden 20% price pop offers existing holders an attractive opportunity to take profits or exit, and it may lead to consolidation or a pullback before the market can sustain its momentum and move to new highs.

GitLab’s biggest risks this year include scaling its business and competition. While scaling appears to be a minor concern, competition is more pressing. GitLab provides ample utility, but so do Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) GitHub and Azure DevOps, which are far better supported. GitLab is well-capitalized and can continue executing its strategy and gaining share as the market grows, but it is unlikely to disrupt Microsoft’s business anytime soon.

Is Abercrombie & Fitch's Hot Streak Just Getting Started?

Reported by Sam Quirke. Originally Published: 9/1/2026.

Few stocks, let alone retail names, have enjoyed a run quite like Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (NYSE: ANF) over the past few months. Since late May, shares have more than doubled, climbing to their highest level since January 2025 and largely erasing the brutal 60% sell-off that did so much damage last year. It has been an impressive recovery, and the momentum shows little sign of letting up.

The latest fuel came from two sources in quick succession: a record quarterly report last week, followed by a fresh analyst upgrade this week that suggests the good times are far from over. Together, they provide the clearest signal yet that this lifestyle retailer may have further to climb.

The question for investors, then, is not whether Abercrombie has turned a corner—it plainly has—but whether the shares can maintain their blistering pace. After a rally of this magnitude, is the hot streak only getting started, or has the easy money already been made?

A Standout Quarter

Last week's report left no doubt about the strength of the business right now. In addition to beating on the headline numbers, Abercrombie reported sales growth across the board, and management was confident enough to raise its guidance for the rest of the year.

What stood out was that the company's namesake Abercrombie brand grew 8% year over year, helping to re-establish momentum that had recently slowed. Meanwhile, the company's younger-skewing Hollister brand made good progress in acquiring new customers, helped by a deal with Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) that places its clothes in more than 1,500 Target stores.

Management also announced a fresh share repurchase program, one of the clearest signals it can send that it believes its own shares are undervalued. Overall, it was a solid report, and from that perspective, at least, the subsequent 35% jump in the shares was not entirely surprising.

An Upgrade That Fanned the Flames

A big vote of confidence from Wall Street quickly followed the strong quarter. On Monday, Argus lifted its rating on the stock to Buy, arguing that the upside momentum from both brands has room to run. It also set a new $162 price target for Abercrombie shares, indicating potential upside of around 13% from recent prices.

The analyst behind the call, Argus's Christine Dooley, made a clear case for why the momentum can last. In her view, sales have decisively turned around after management worked to put both brands on a more sustainable footing. As she put it, Hollister was already performing well, and now the flagship Abercrombie brand has staged a revival of its own, giving the retailer two engines of growth rather than one.

What the Doubters Are Saying

However, not everyone is convinced the good times will continue. After the stock jumped following last week's results, Citi took the opposite approach and turned cautious, downgrading Abercrombie from Buy to Neutral. Analyst Paul Lejuez acknowledged that there was plenty to like in the report, but said that after such a sharp move, the stock's risk-reward profile was no longer attractive.

There was also a catch buried in the headline numbers: a substantial portion of the quarter's profit came from a one-off tariff refund, a windfall that flattered the results and will not recur indefinitely. Strip out that temporary boost, and while the business is still performing well, its underlying profitability is more modest than the reported figures suggest—something investors chasing the stock would do well to remember.

Abercrombie's valuation is also starting to look less like a bargain. This time last year, the stock traded at seven times earnings; today, that same multiple is above 12. Such a re-rating leaves far less margin for error in future results and puts additional pressure on the company to keep delivering.

Plenty of Momentum, But Beware Some Profit-Taking

So where does that leave investors today? The bull case remains a powerful one: Abercrombie is undoubtedly a well-run business with real momentum behind it. Set against that are two main bearish caveats: the flattering effect of a $100 million one-off tariff refund and a share price that has already come an awfully long way in a short period.

For now, shares appear to be consolidating near the upper end of last week's jump, around the $150 mark, and it would be no surprise to see some profit-taking set in over the coming sessions. That might, in fact, be the best-case scenario for those of us on the sidelines, as it would take some steam out of the recent run and give investors a chance to buy into a stock that clearly has considerable momentum behind it.
