Josh Brown thinks this brokerage stock is going 'way higher'
Interactive Brokers is a stock that should be on Wall Street's watchlist, according to Josh Brown of Ritholtz Wealth Management. "That's on my best stocks list. I think that's going way higher." the firm's CEO said on CNBC's " Halftime Report " on Tuesday, referring to Interactive Brokers. "Just looking at the way Schwab and Robinhood have been treated, I think that stock should get a bigger rally. And there are tons of those stories everywhere I look in the sector, so I think it's going to continue to work. I think you want to be in financials into end of the year," Brown added. Shares of the electronic broker are up more than 40% in 2025, as investors have grown optimistic on the company's exposure to a wide range of currencies and strong trading volumes seen this year. Interactive Brokers has also benefited from hopes that the Trump administration's deregulation push will be a boon for the financial sector, which is up about 9% year to date. Peers Charles Schwab and Robinhood, which Brown mentioned, have rallied about 29% and 175% this year, respectively. While deregulation is not a catalyst for any specific financial stock, it is a tailwind for growth in the sector, Brown said. He said he thinks financials can do even better given the growth of multi-millionaire households, middle-class consumer spending and "explosive growth" in individuals' 401(k) retirement account balances. "The deregulation story is like the climate," Brown said. "It exists, and it's a different climate than what we experienced over the previous four years. And it probably, in the background, has helped people feel a little bit better about buying some of these wealth managers, asset managers, money center banks at an elevated price-to-book over what they would have paid five years ago when they were being regulated like utilities. So now, there's a little bit more slack in the reins." Analysts covering Interactive Brokers have an average price target on the stock that implies nearly 6% potential upside ahead, per LSEG. Of the 10 analysts covering the name, eight rate it a buy or strong buy.

Best Stocks: What to do with two 'Best Stock' names that are failing
(This is The Best Stocks in the Market , brought to you by Josh Brown and Sean Russo of Ritholtz Wealth Management.) Josh — We're writing up stocks here all the time and doing our best to identify set-ups with either a strong ongoing trend, a technical catalyst on the horizon or something fundamental we think deserves exploring. While many of our stock write-ups have resulted in singles and doubles so far this summer, they don't all cooperate. Today, we're going to follow up on two names we've recently talked about that are still on the list, but in danger of falling off. The goal of this exercise is to share the other side with you — when Best Stocks fall off. But first, let's check in on where the list stands today. Sector Leaderboard As of 7/21/2025, there are 142 names on The Best Stocks in the Market list. Top Sector Ranking: Top industries: Top 5 Best Stocks by Relative Strength: Spotlight: Sean — Market breadth measures how many stocks are participating in a market move, offering a deeper view of underlying strength beyond index-level performance. It's a look under the hood to see what's powering the market. When breadth is strong — meaning a large number of individual stocks are advancing, or are above a certain moving average, or have a certain indicator/reading — it signals broad investor confidence and healthy market participation, not just gains concentrated in a few large names. Market-wide participation reduces the risk of fragility in the rally and suggests that momentum is sustainable. Strong breadth has historically aligned with bull markets, making it a bullish signal for investors tracking the durability of uptrends. While strong breadth points to a healthy market, it doesn't mean every stock is firing on all cylinders. Identifying laggards during a broad uptrend can be just as insightful as spotting the leaders. By examining the names that remain on our watchlist but are no longer showing ideal technical set-ups, we can better understand where momentum may be fading — or where risks are quietly building. We thought it would be interesting to see what names are still on the list, but technically are not setting up the way we'd like. Both of these names we mentioned in an earlier piece, and both recently broke below their 50-day moving averages. Expand Energy This is a 1-year chart of Expand Energy Corp (EXE) : We mentioned this on May 22, noting some fundamentals on the stock. It is one of the largest natural gas producers in the U.S. The stock broke through its 50-day moving average to start July and nearly tumbled to its 200-day moving average for the first time since the election. If this stock breaks below its 200-day, which is around the bottom level of support it's been building in the $100 range, the stock will have some further downside risk. Risk Management: Josh here — Above I am showing you the highly correlated peak for EXE stock and the spot natural gas price. Nat gas is down over 12% over the last month while crude oil is off 8%. This weakness in the underlying commodity prices has affected stocks like EXE across the sector. The recent firming up in energy commodity prices should enable Expand to hold its rising 200-day support level just above $100 per share. Both Mizuho and UBS have recently reiterated price targets in the 140s. For investors, I would leave it on this leash, checking back at the end of every week. Shorter-term traders should already be out of the name, watching from the sidelines to see if it sets up again. Momentum is almost washed out at a 40 RSI but it's not completely de-risked. Deere & Co Sean — Below is Deere (DE) , a stock we mentioned on June 5, with one of my favorite titles thus far: "An 'AI wolf in sheep's clothing' with a great entry point for investors": Similar to EXE, the stock broke below its 50 day moving average, and is threatening the support it's been building since it broke out this spring. Risk Management: Josh here — Deere deserves the benefit of the doubt given the recent pullback has not gotten anywhere near the rising 200-day but it bears watching. The company will report earnings on Wednesday morning August 13th before the market opens. The stock rallied hard after its last report despite giving relatively tame guidance, making an all-time high at $528 before pulling back. Tariffs are still a concern here and should the rhetoric from the White House continue to ratchet up, they may continue to sell this name. Shorter-term traders may want to watch from the sidelines rather than battle against the sellers. Taken together, these technical breakdowns in names like EXE and DE serve as reminders that even in broadly healthy markets, not every stock is participating. The optimistic take is, if we can see support in these names, these could be buying opportunities, but we have to let price dictate that. Monitoring these minor breakdowns alongside market leaders helps investors separate structural strength from surface-level momentum.

Josh Brown Pitches ‘Potential Breakout' Stock
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:HLT) is one of the . Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, recently talked about hotels and resorts company Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:HLT) during a program on CNBC and called it a breakout stock. Here is how Brown made the case of the stock that's up 12% so far this year. 'This is a potential breakout. It's not quite in progress, but it's getting very close. And I thought I'd spotlight this. Basically, we saw a golden cross happen as the stock climbed out of its Liberation Day lows. Hilton was in a 24% drawdown. Now, it's back to within 4% of 52-week highs. Got that 50-day crossing back over the 200-day. Look, the sector itself — leisure, lodging, travel, service industries in the S&P — every single name, with one exception, is above its 50-day. The sector is just absolutely on fire. We talked about the cruise lines the other day, and Hilton should follow through here. Full-year guidance looked great, and that's why the stock's working. So, I think the 270s is where traders want to watch for that trigger. If it can get through the 270s on convincing volume, I think it's a pretty good setup.'
