2 Dirt Cheap AI Stocks to Buy in June
Alphabet and Adobe are both cheaper than the broader market.
The market assumes AI will permanently disrupt each stock.
10 stocks we like better than Alphabet ›
"Dirt cheap" and artificial intelligence (AI) aren't typically mentioned in the same sentence. There's a preconceived notion that many of the AI stocks in the market are quite expensive, which is, for the most part, a fair assessment.
However, there are still plenty of dirt cheap stocks that look like screaming buys in the AI space. Two of them are Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), and each looks like an incredible buy right now.
I consider both of these stocks cheap because they meet two criteria. First, both stocks are cheaper than the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). The S&P 500 has a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 22.1, and both stocks are currently cheaper than that mark.
Furthermore, both stocks have rarely been this cheap, which is another sign for investors that now may be an excellent time to scoop up shares.
My second factor for determining whether a stock is dirt cheap is its ability to grow earnings per share (EPS) faster than the market. If a stock is cheaper than the broader market, yet growing more slowly, there is a good reason why it's priced below the market. Both companies are projected to post strong earnings growth over the next two years, exceeding the S&P 500's usual 10% growth rate.

2026 EPS Growth Projections
Alphabet
19%
6%
Adobe
11%
12%
Data source: Yahoo! Finance. EPS = earnings per share.
However, I believe these analyst projections are flawed, as they don't account for both companies having massive stock buyback plans. With both companies having record-low stock prices, don't be surprised if they increase their share buyback amounts. A cheaper stock makes these buybacks more effective and can cause the share count to fall quickly, which boosts EPS.
Both stocks look cheap, yet they have growth that should make them premium to the market. So, why is the market valuing them in this way?
Both Alphabet and Adobe's primary businesses are at risk of being disrupted by AI. Alphabet's primary business is Google Search, and there has been no shortage of predictions about replacing traditional search with AI. However, Google has already introduced AI search overviews and released an AI search mode. Both options may bridge the gap and keep Alphabet in the leadership position. Furthermore, generative AI has been around for nearly three years, and Google Search's revenue still rose by 10% in the previous quarter. So, clearly, it isn't dead yet.
Adobe is in a similar boat. Its suite of graphic design products has become the industry standard and is used worldwide. However, investors are worried that generative AI image generation could make Adobe's software obsolete.
While this may produce some headwinds, Adobe has already launched its incredibly popular Firefly AI, which allows its users to generate images and easily modify existing designs. Furthermore, generative AI tools don't offer the same level of control that Adobe's software provides, and graphic designers aren't willing to give up full creative control to a randomly generated image.
While both companies will encounter some headwinds popping up from time to time as a result of generative AI, these are mostly headline-induced worries. The actual businesses are doing just fine. Their consistent execution, combined with a cheap stock price, gives me confidence in their long-term ability to provide market-beating returns, which is why I think these two are excellent buys now.

Alphabet's Strong Free Cash Flow Makes GOOG Stock a Value Buy
Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) generated strong Q1 free cash flow (FCF) that was higher than expected. Moreover, its stable FCF margins, despite higher capex (capital expenditure), imply GOOG stock is worth 19% more at $212 per share. Shareholders can make extra income by selling short out-of-the-money (OTM) puts. GOOG closed at $178.27 on Friday, June 27, up +2.20%. It is still off its highs from early February. But it still has more to go. This article will show why and how to play it. The Saturday Spread: Data-Driven Trades That Cut Through the Noise (GILD, MCD, DJT) Alphabet's Strong Free Cash Flow Makes GOOG Stock a Value Buy Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! I discussed GOOG stock's value in a Barchart article two months ago on April 27, after its Q1 results, 'Alphabet's FCF Results Are Better Than Expected - Time to Buy GOOG?' Alphabet produced almost $19 billion in FCF last quarter and about $75 billion over the trailing 12 months (TTM). That was despite significantly higher capex spending, mostly on its AI-driven capital spending. For example, in Q1, capex represented 47.5% of its operating cash flow (i.e., $17.2b/$36.15b), up from just 36.6% in Q4. This can be seen in the table in my April 27 Barchart article. More importantly, however, its FCF margins are still very strong (i.e., FCF as a percent of revenue). For example, in the trailing 12 months (TTM), FCF represented 20.8% of TTM sales: $74.78 billion TTM FCF / $359.7 billion TTM sales = 0.208 = 20.8% TTM FCF margin That was close to the Q1 FCF margin rate of 21.0%: $18.95 billion Q1 FCF / $90.234 billion Q1 sales = 0.21 = 21% Q1 FCF margin In other words, Alphabet is still gushing the same amount of cash from sales directly into its checking account despite higher spending on servers, data centers, and AI-driven items. That helps set a higher valuation for Alphabet. For example, analysts project $387.81 billion in revenue for 2005 sales and 2006 is +10.6% higher at $428.88 billion. That means, on a run rate basis, the next 12 months' (NTM) revenue is expected to be $408.4 billion. Now we apply a 22% average FCF margin (i.e., FCF margin rises by 100 basis points): $408.4 billion NTM sales x 22% FCF margin = $89.848 billion FCF NTM That is almost 20% higher than its last 12 months: $90b / $75b = 1.20 -1 = +20% This could push its present valuation higher. Let's see why. One way to value GOOG stock is to assume it pays out 100% of its FCF as a dividend. So what would its yield be? The market would likely give it around a 3.50% FCF yield. (For one, its TTM FCF of $75 billion represents 3.46% of its present $2,165 billion market cap as of Friday). So, here is how that valuation works out: $90b NTM FCF / 0.035 FCF yield = $2,571 billion NTM market cap That is 18.75% higher than today's market cap of $2,165 billion. In other words, GOOG stock is worth almost 19% more at about $212 per share: $178.27 x $211.75 target price This is using a 22% FCF margin estimate on the next 12 months (NTM) analysts' revenue estimates and a 3.5% FCF yield valuation metric. Moreover, analysts tend to agree with this. For example, Yahoo! Finance shows that 68 analysts have an average price target of $199.62 per share. That is +12% higher than Friday's close of $178.27. Similarly, Barchart shows a mean price target of $200.82 per share. In addition, which tracks recent analysts' price recommendations and targets, shows that 15 analysts have an average of $198.44, and 43 analysts have an average of $206.14 for GOOGL stock. The bottom line is that analysts all seem to have significantly higher price targets. This helps investors have faith that the underlying value of the company is much higher than today's price. However, there is no guarantee this will happen over the next 12 months. The stock could stay flat or flatish. So, one way to play it is to continuously sell short one-month out put options with lower strike prices (i.e., out-of-the-money or OTM exercise prices). That way, investors can set a lower buy-in point, and existing shareholders can generate extra income. Here is how that works. For example, look at the July 25 expiration period, which is 27 days from now. It shows that the $170 strike price put option contract has a midpoint premium of $2.58 per put contract. That means an investor who enters a trade order to 'Sell to Open' this put can make an immediate yield of over 1.5% (i.e., $2.58/$170.00 = 0.01518 = 1.52%). Moreover, this allows a new investor to set a lower breakeven buy-in point, even if GOOG falls to $170: $170 - $2.58 = $167.42 breakeven That is 6.0% lower than Friday's closing price of $178.27. In addition, existing shareholders can short these puts every month to make extra income. For example, the expected return (ER) if GOOG stock stays flat over the next 6 months is: 0.01518 1-mo yield x 6 mo = .091 = 9.1% In fact, the precise ER is even higher at over 10%, since there are 6.7 periods of 27 days over 6 months: 0.01518 x 6.7 = 0.1017 = 10.17% ER over 6 months Now, there is no guarantee that a short-seller can make 1.5% shorting 4.6% out-of-the-money (OTM) puts each month. It would not be surprising for GOOG to fall over 5% in 27 days. But at least the investor has a lower breakeven. After several months of doing this, the investor's buildup of income provides extra downside protection. Moreover, the worst that can happen is that an investor's secured cash is assigned to buy GOOG shares at this lower strike price. After all, the upside from this breakeven is over 26%: $211.75 target / $167.42 breakeven -1 = 1.265 -1 = +26.5% Moreover, the probability of an assignment after shorting these puts is low. The delta ratio is just 27% (see table above). That implies, based on GOOG stock's previous stock price volatility, there is just a 27% chance that it will fall to $170 on or before July 25. Investors should study Barchart's options learn center tabs to review risks associated with shorting puts. The bottom line is that Alphabet stock looks undervalued, both from a free cash flow (FCF) standpoint and also based on analysts' targets. One way to profitably and conservatively play this is to sell short OTM puts in one-money expiring contract periods. On the date of publication, Mark R.

The No. 1 Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Held on Robinhood Has Soared 632% in 15 Years and Is the Only General Investment Recommended by Warren Buffett
Retail investors are playing an increasingly larger role in the stock market. Although billionaire Warren Buffett doesn't offer stock-specific advice, he has previously encouraged everyday investors to buy one specific investment vehicle, which Robinhood's customers absolutely love. The most widely held exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Robinhood has a clear leg up on other ETFs within its category. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard S&P 500 ETF › Roughly 30 years ago, the proliferation of the internet began changing Wall Street forever. While institutional investors had relied on internet-based trading for years, the ability for everyday investors to access online trading platforms, as well as find pertinent news and financial information with the click of a button, was revolutionary. Although institutional investing still accounts for the majority of average daily trading volume on Wall Street (primarily due to high-frequency trading programs), retail investors have played an increasingly larger role over time. Based on data from "The Retail Investor Report," compiled by five authors, retail investors accounted for 25% of total equities trading volume in 2021, which nearly doubled from where things stood a decade earlier. Online brokerages have taken note of this trend and done what they can to cater to everyday investors. Robinhood has been among the most successful at signing up the retail crowd, with investors flocking to the company for its commission-free trades and ability to buy fractional shares. But what makes Robinhood's platform especially unique is its "100 Most Popular" tool, which allows anyone to see which stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are held most frequently within customers' portfolios. It just so happens that the most widely held ETF on Robinhood, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) -- which has rallied 632%, including dividends paid, since its inception nearly 15 years ago -- is the only general investment that billionaire Warren Buffett has recommended for everyday investors. The Oracle of Omaha's investing prowess at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) has been well documented. Since taking the role as CEO 60 years ago, Warren Buffett has overseen a cumulative return in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) of nearly 5,900,000%, which has absolutely crushed the total return, including dividends, of the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). In addition to mirroring Warren Buffett's buying and selling activity, which can be done by tracking his trades via quarterly filed Form 13Fs, investors aim to emulate his investment traits. This includes buying for the long term and investing in companies with sustainable moats and strong management teams. But if there's one thing Warren Buffett doesn't do, it's offer specific investment advice. While he frequently speaks glowingly about the core stocks Berkshire Hathaway already holds in its investment portfolio, the Oracle of Omaha doesn't tell retail investors what they should be doing with their one exception. On May 2, 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and sent Wall Street's major stock indexes plummeting, Berkshire Hathaway held a virtual annual meeting for shareholders. While Buffett tackled an assortment of topics, he also offered up a direct investment recommendation to retail investors: In my view, for most people, the best thing to do is to own the S&P 500 index fund. ... You're dealing with something fundamentally advantageous, in my view, in owning stocks. I will bet on America the rest of my life. Being a long-term investor, Buffett is well aware of the disproportionate nature of economic and stock market cycles -- and he's angled Berkshire Hathaway to take advantage of this nonlinearity. For example, the U.S. economy has endured 12 recessions since the end of World War II in September 1945. The average economic downturn has resolved in just 10 months, with no recession lasting longer than 18 months. In comparison, the average period of economic growth has endured for about five years. Long-winded periods of growth bode well for corporate America. Likewise, bull markets last substantially longer than bear markets. A June 2023 data set published by Bespoke Investment Group on X (formerly Twitter) found the average S&P 500 bear market since the start of the Great Depression lasted 286 calendar days (roughly 9.5 months). Meanwhile, the typical bull market stuck around for 1,011 calendar days, or two years and nine months. Buffett realized a long time ago that being an optimist is a moneymaking decision. Though individual stocks account for the top five holdings on Robinhood, led by electric vehicle maker Tesla, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is the most held ETF and the sixth-most held security on the platform. While Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett didn't single out any specific S&P 500 index funds when suggesting that everyday investors own an S&P 500 index fund, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF tends to be in a class of its own. As of this writing, there are roughly two dozen ETFs to choose from that attempt to mirror the performance of Wall Street's benchmark stock index. In other words, these funds are purchasing all 503 components (three S&P 500 companies have two classes of shares, thus why there are 503 components and not an even 500) and attempting to mirror their weightings to match the S&P 500's performance as closely as possible. The two most popular S&P 500 index funds are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY), which was the first ETF to be launched in the U.S. (in 1993), and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, which launched in September 2010. While both index funds do a fine job of mirroring the returns of the benchmark index, there is one notable difference between the two: their net expense ratios. A fund's net expense ratio represents the amount of your investment that you'll pay in various fees, such as those for managing and marketing the fund, among other expenses. Whereas the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust has a relatively low net expense ratio of 0.09%, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF has a microscopic net expense ratio of 0.03%. Though we're only talking about a six-basis-point difference, it can add up over multiple decades or be significant if you're dealing with a large initial investment. Hypothetically, if you invested $1,000,000 in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and S&P 500 Vanguard ETF and allowed your investment to grow undisturbed for 30 years with an estimated average annual return of 8%, you'd pay $248,550 in fees with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and just $83,519 in fees with the S&P 500 Vanguard ETF. This isn't a negligible difference. Robinhood's retail investors have wisely piled into a time-tested, low-cost ETF that Berkshire Hathaway's billionaire CEO (in a general sense) believes everyday investors can comfortably own over the long run. Before you buy stock in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF wasn't one of them.

Why I Question SCHD's Role in My Portfolio -- Is There a Better Choice for Income and Growth?
Schwab's U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has underperformed other funds of late. The funds being held in comparison aren't actually all that comparable. The purpose of diversifying any portfolio is to limit the risk of inevitable but unpredictable change. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › As always, The Motley Fool cannot and does not provide personalized investing or financial advice. This information is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional financial advice. Always seek the guidance of a qualified financial advisor for any questions regarding your personal financial situation. If you'd like to submit your question for feedback, you can do so here. Do you own the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD), and if so, have you been disappointed by its recent performance? If your answer to both questions is yes, you're not alone. Plenty of people have been frustrated with its lack of progress versus the broader market. One of these disappointed investors recently asked an entire Reddit community about this fund's usefulness when there are so many other options available. Why SCHD? It loses to both SPY and JEPQ in total returnsby u/Malevin87 in dividends There's always more to the story than anyone can know through a single Reddit post. Since many investors are likely grappling with this very same question, however, some thoughts on the matter are in order. First, you're not imagining things. As the original poster's math suggests, SCHD is trailing alternative exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: JEPQ) or the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY). Indeed, even adding its sizable dividend payments (its trailing yield is just under 4%) into the mix, the Schwab fund has consistently underperformed SPY and JEPQ since the middle of 2023. This doesn't necessarily mean a fund like the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF doesn't belong in your portfolio, though. Yes, Schwab's dividend fund is lagging. It has for a while. There's an underappreciated reason for that. The Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100™ Index that it is meant to mirror holds a bunch of the market's very biggest dividend payers that have been out of favor for a couple of years now. The fund -- and index -- are highly exposed to consumer goods names like Altria, oil and gas giants such as Chevron, and industrial tech stocks like Texas Instruments. These are all fine companies. But they've just not been what investors have been clamoring for over the course of the past few years. Investors are still mostly in love with technology stocks that are heavily exposed to the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. That's a big reason the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF has done so well since 2023, when the AI movement really took hold. As the name suggests, JPMorgan's Nasdaq Equity Premium Income fund holds the same stocks you'll find in the Nasdaq-100 Index. They include Nvidia, Microsoft, and Broadcom, just to name a few. There's a slight twist with JEPQ. Its primary purpose is to generate distributable income to its owners by selling "covered" call options against the stocks the fund holds. The strategy for achieving this usually works quite well, too. The ETF's current annualized dividend yield stands at an impressive 14.5%. Make no mistake -- this strategy also ultimately means that this fund's performance trails the Nasdaq-100's. It's just an attractive investment because so much of the Nasdaq-100's gains are still able to be collected in the form of immediate and perpetual income. It's a completely different kind of investment than the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, so its net performance should be different. The same can be said of SPY. This ETF is neither dividend-oriented nor growth-oriented. It's just meant to mirror the performance of the S&P 500, which encompasses 85% of the U.S. stock market's total market capitalization. That's why it's such a good market barometer. Of course, the same AI-centric technology names that dominate the Nasdaq-100 also dominate the S&P 500. That's why it's also outperformed SCHD for the past couple of years. So what? Performance is performance, after all, and JEPQ and SPY are performing when Schwab's U.S. Dividend Equity ETF isn't. The reason you diversify isn't to capitalize on current leadership. You diversify because you have no idea what the future holds, and your job as an investor is to maximize your potential upside while minimizing your risk of the unknown. More to the point, although the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust may be leading the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF right now, that could change in an instant. That possibility is more real right now than you might realize, given the environment. While selling (or "writing") covered call options on the Nasdaq-100's stocks has worked well enough since 2023, the market's somewhat choppy sideways to slightly bullish trend favors this strategy. That's especially true in an environment with above-average volatility and rising interest rates, as we've seen lately. This rise in interest rates also works against dividend stocks, since the market will adjust their prices lower to push their dividend yields closer to bonds' yields. Given this, it's not surprising that SCHD has underperformed of late. But what if everything about this backdrop reverses? What if interest rates start to sink and/or the market's volatility starts mellowing out? Or what if a strong marketwide bull market takes hold? This situation would favor dividend stocks again, but also make JPMorgan's option-writing strategy even more difficult to execute, and relatively less productive than simply buying and holding. You won't see this shift coming before it happens. You'll only see it after the fact, when SCHD starts to perform better, and JEPQ starts to perform worse. This isn't to suggest that JPMorgan's covered call ETFs aren't worth owning, nor is it a guarantee that Schwab's dividend ETF is on the verge of recovery. That's the point. While an environmental shift is likely, we can't know when or to what extent it will take shape. That's why you remain diversified even when it's difficult to stick with a laggard and not double down on leaders. You're preparing for all possibilities by owning a little of everything, and not too much of anything. It's also worth considering that one year's time isn't actually very long when it comes to stocks. It may be too soon to come to a sweeping long-term conclusion here. That being said, in this particular instance, two of the three exchange-traded funds in focus are at the extreme opposite ends of the spectrum. There may be room for something else in between that isn't quite so dividend-oriented, but also not so tech-centric. For instance, while its dividend yield may be a modest 1.7%, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEMKT: VIG) is based on the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index, which makes a point of not including the highest-yielding stocks just because they're more likely to underperform. Sure enough, this dividend fund has easily outperformed SCHD for the past couple of years. Even if it hasn't quite kept pace with JEPQ, it's at least been respectably close. High-quality dividend stocks do offer the capital growth that most investors also want. They do better in times of market weakness too, since their cash dividend payments usually remain unfazed. VIG is just one of several other ETFs that might be worth considering here, however. The Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG) wouldn't be a bad bet either, if income isn't actually an immediate concern. When a portfolio is well-diversified (as it should be) to protect an investor from the unknowable, the unexpected, and the unpredictable, one of those holdings is always going to lag. That's OK.
