United Parcel Service (UPS) is just one of Powers Advisory Group Managing Partner Matt Powers’ top picks for 2025, calling the postal carrier and logistics operator as having "defensive characteristics and high valuations" as it looks to get carried by several tailwinds next year. UPS is set to release fourth quarter earnings results on January 30, 2025. Powers sits down with Wealth host Brad Smith to talk about the other opportunities he is seeing across markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) in the new year. "Broadening it looks like so all 11 major sectors are actually expected to have year over year earnings increases in 2025. And I think we had or will have seven of the 11 this year, which suggests broadening out," Powers tells Yahoo Finance. "But the S&P [500] is trading at 21 times forward earnings, while dividend growth equities which is kind of our core focus are at 19 times. So we see again going back to that back-to-basics approach shifting towards value and just underappreciated areas of the market."
