2 Tickers To Buy the Dip On

The S&P 500 marked a 1.85% decline last week. This marks the fourth negative week out of the last five.

At the same time, we’ve witnessed bond yields dropping — and corporate earnings growth figures are coming in well ahead of analyst estimates.

A lot of economic data was released last week — most of it, but not all, was positive, and points toward improving fundamentals and an increased likelihood of further rate cuts.

So, what we’re seeing right now isn’t a serious reversal — rather, investors are shuffling their decks, trimming positions, and taking profits.

The combination of these elements lends itself to a simple, straightforward strategy. Identify tickers that have seen unwarranted drops, add them to your portfolio, then wait and monitor. However, these pullbacks are often short-lived, and time is of the essence. To capitalize on the opportunity in time, the best course of action is to start with ….

Buy the Dip Stock Strategy

Our in-house quant rating system scans 4,600 stocks each day, using a framework made up of 115 different metrics split across 7 categories. Those insights come together into a straightforward, user-friendly metric — a stock’s Zen Rating.

Stocks that rank in the top 5% on the whole based on the strength of their fundamentals are given a Zen Rating of A, equivalent to a Strong Buy rating. However, that still leaves roughly 230 stocks to consider on any given day. When time is of the essence, you need to narrow the search down even further — and you can do that by taking a look at one of our exclusive Zen Strategies.

There are 11 strategies in total — each is a carefully-constructed portfolio, consisting of just 7  stocks. With recent developments in mind, today we’ll be taking a look at the strategy that performed best thus far in 2026 — our Buy the Dip strategy.

Since the start of the year, this portfolio has already delivered a 40.64% return. Like the rest of our strategies, it is constantly being recalibrated — and today you’ll get to see 2 promising stocks that were recently added to this portfolio.

LiveRamp (RAMP)

Our first entry for today is LiveRamp — a major player in digital advertising and data connectivity. RAMP shares rank in the top 1% of the equities that we track — RAMP is currently rated 24th overall, and is the top-rated equity in the entire Software Infrastructure industry.

Let’s begin with the dip. RAMP has lost 6.81% in value over the past week, bringing 3-month losses up to -18.53% However, the tide is shifting — after a double beat roughly two weeks ago, the stock has started to make up for lost ground.

LiveRamp shares are a steal — they rank in the top 4% for Value, and at a P/E ratio of 22.56x and a PEG ratio of just 0.5x, they’re significantly undervalued. Like that PEG ratio suggests, growth prospects are also excellent — earnings are forecast to grow by 45.4% per year, putting the stock in the top 7% for Growth.

The average price target from Wall Street analysts currently implies a 46.14% upside — combined with a significant degree of insider buying, it’s little wonder that RAMP also ranks in the 84th percentile for Sentiment. The stock also scores highly when it comes to Financials and  Safety — and it’s particularly strong when it comes to the AI factor, where it ranks in the top 4%.

Cons? The Momentum rating is a D — but as we’ve discussed, things are already looking up on that front. With a double beat in tow, an appealing valuation, strong growth prospects, and the support of top Wall Street analysts, it’s a foregone conclusion that the stock will keep rising — so you’d best jump on the opportunity while it’s still there.

TaskUs (TASK)

If you need to outsource any significant degree of your operations in the tech world, TaskUs is where you’ll most likely go. Our second pick is our 33rd highest-rated stock overall — which, like RAMP, places it in the top 1% of the equities that we track. It’s also the top-rated stock in the Information Technology Service sector.

TASK shares have lost 6.18% in value over the past week, bringing 1-month losses up to 12.72%. However, this is one of the most fundamentally sound businesses in the stock market today. At a P/E of 11.13x and a PEG ratio of 0.18x, it’s incredibly undervalued — and earnings are expected to grow by 78.24% per year. This puts TaskUs in the top 1% of stocks for Value, and the top 19% for Growth. That’s a pretty strong combination.

Financials are another point — TaskUs has an almost impeccable balance sheet, and ranks in the 95th percentile in this category. The average price target from Wall Street analysts implies a 65.92% upside — placing TASK in the top 9% for Sentiment. To cap everything off, the stock ranks in the top 6% when it comes to the Artificial Intelligence Component Grade rating — so our in-house neural network considers it a likely outperformer going forward.

Drawbacks? This is another ticker with a D in momentum — and unlike RAMP, the recovery hasn’t started yet, so the holding period you’ll be dealing with could very well be longer. On top of that, TASK has a C rating for Safety, and a beta of 1.69 — if you’re not prepared for volatility, this might not be the ideal stock for you.

On the bright side, there could be good news ahead. TaskUs has notched 3 earnings beats in a row — and the next earnings call is due February 25. Positive results could bring an end to the stock’s recent downward trajectory. As volatile as it is, at current prices, it’s a bargain — and the risk/reward ratio seems favorable.
