Investors should keep on revisiting their portfolios every month and analyse if they are holding the right stocks or not. This will help them add value to their worth and save themselves from the volatility of the stock movements. In these lines, the following stocks have emerged favourites for the month of February as Wall Street analysts believe that these stocks are currently trading at attractive prices. With these stocks staring at huge growth opportunities in the future, it is indeed a wonderful bargain to get hold of them right away at the prevailing prices.

A monster- buy indeed!

In the list of top stock picks for 2015, the first on the list is Monster Beverage (MNST, Financial). Last year, 16.7% of this energy drink monster was acquired by another giant in the carbonated beverage segment, Coca Cola (KO, Financial). This deal was mutually beneficial to both the parties. Coca Cola got a chance to step into energy drinks sector, as the demand for its not–so-healthy carbonated beverages started coming down. For Monster, this deal opened up a whole new dimension of distribution network altogether. It will now grow bigger and better at the backdrop of a huge geographical expansion. During the last week of February, Monster will release its latest quarter’s earnings and share prices will see a huge jump then. Hence analysts believe that now is the right time to buy Monster, if you want to add quick value to your investment. The share price trend of Monster is given below:

Down but not dusted

The next name on the top buys list might surprise many investors; but a lot of analysis has been done on this and stock market pundits are confident that this stock will grow tremendously in the future, thereby increasing shareholders’ worth. Can’t handle the suspense anymore? The stock is Tesla Motors (TSLA, Financial). Tesla’s shares are currently going through a very rough patch and market forces too have contributed to the slump in performances. So what puts Tesla in this list? Analysts believe that Tesla is a stock that would generate long term returns for its investors. The stock has indeed gone through a tough 2014, but during the latter half of 2015, the electric car maker will start delivering the eagerly looked forward to Crossover EV, Model X, which will bring a huge impact on its sales and margins. Also one of its recently delivered models, P85D Model S, has been garnering positive reviews and could thus have a positive effect on the share prices in the future. Tesla is looking for better margins this year with most of its dual motor models hitting the road in 2015. The stock movement of Tesla for the last few months is given below:

Coffee, tea and more

If you, as an investor thought that coffee giant, Starbucks (SBUX, Financial) has reached a saturation point as far as growth is concerned, you are completely wrong. The company is all set to have a fantastic 2015 due to two very important reasons – product diversification and improved geographical presence. Hence if you buy the stock now, you stand to gain a lot. Starbucks is planning to introduce tea and other packed food items in its counters during this year, which will surely boost earnings. One of the most influential factors of Starbucks’ growth for 2014 was its presence in the CAP region (China Asia Pacific). In what could spell good news for investors, this region which showed 8% increase this quarter compared to the same period last year, is expected to have 10,000 more outlets of Starbucks this year. This expansion is in line with the company’s 2019 objective to touch the $3billion figure at least in revenues and $1billion figure at least in operating income. Share price movement for the last few months of Starbucks can be seen from the chart below:
