Very early in the new year, investors are likely wondering who the winners and losers will be in 2023. An excellent place to start would be to go with those stocks that exhibited momentum in December.
To qualify for my list of three top stocks that will shine again in 2023, a company must have delivered positive returns in 2022, generated a return on assets of 10% or higher, and have more than $1 billion in free cash flow.
In 2023, there is a good chance that the winning stocks will be companies with healthy and protectable margins rather than those with strong revenue growth.
