Updated Buying Zones for 50 Stocks
Get a clear view of the stock market opportunities available right now
This year, I started publishing a new category of articles: buying zones for stocks. Why? Because when it comes to investing and buying stocks, there are two major approaches: buying during pullbacks and market consolidations, or opting for momentum investing.
Personally, I belong to the first group. This strategy, while appealing for its focus on fundamentals and long-term value, comes with two key challenges:
When you buy during consolidation phases, it means you buy during periods with a negative market trend, which can be unsettling
Also, you never know where the bottom is as it is impossible to predict the exact lowest point, adding an element of risk
Despite these challenges, I find this approach more compelling. By focusing on a fundamentals, I can identify its intrinsic value and seize opportunities to buy at a favorable price for long-term holding periods. This method, in my opinion, is often more rewarding than a momentum-driven approach, which involves buying stocks purely based on upward trends, regardless of their price or potential.
To navigate the uncertainty of market bottoms, I like to establish 3 buying zones for staggered entries. While it is rare to hit the absolute lowest price, having a structured plan ensures readiness for any market conditions. These prices often emerge during bear markets, and if you are interested in how to navigate such times, check out my article on what to do and avoid during bear markets.
Please note that the prices and zones were calculated on Sunday, March 30th. While there may be minor discrepancies with today’s prices, the defined buying zones remain unchanged.

To define the buying zones, I use a mix between a fundamental and technical analysis. You can also do it with a good information website. You can find all the data I am using through the following link to marketscreener.com. I use this website daily, and I am confident it can be helpful to you as well.

Please note that the price and zones have been calculated on Sunday the 30th, so they might be small gaps with today’s price - however it doesn’t change the defined buying zones.
Let’s begin with an example
We will use Microsoft as an example.
Currently the stock has a 28.6x PE and a current price of $379.
In the last article, the price was $346 and the buying zones were $399 / $350 / $315. As we are just under the first buying zone, it is important to update the buying zones (and it is also a good example that waiting proved useful instead of buying close to ATH).
The first new buying zone is around $350. This zone has been a resistance at the end of 2021 and in July 2023. It would give a PE of 27x.
The second one for me would be $315 (PE of 24x). It has been a support on August 2023 and September 2023. The last one would be around $249, a support at the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023.
So the zones are:
$350 / PE 27x
$315 / PE 24x
$249 / PE 19x
Of course, the price could always drop further or fail to decline at all. In either scenario, the investment thesis and buying zones would need to be re-evaluated.
