The growth-to-value rotation and so-called reflation trade have been the dominant market narratives in the past few months.

Groups of investors looking to take advantage of the economic reopening piled into value-oriented stocks that had been long abandoned in favor of high-flying growth names and tech shares.

Reflation trade believers put their money to work in energy and financial stocks, among others, hoping to profit from what some experts say will be 7% annual growth in the US economy in 2021 post-pandemic.

Now though, those trades are getting crowded, and investment banks like Goldman Sachs are recommending clients look for safety in companies with strong free cash flow generation and more sensible valuations.

Goldman’s economists believe the growth seen in the US economy will peak at 10.5% in the second quarter before decelerating into 2022. The bank says this could hurt returns and create increased volatility for investors.

With this in mind, it’s time for investors to look for “quality,” according to the experts at Goldman.

In a Friday note to clients, Goldman analysts led by Deep Mehta said that there are many ways to define “quality,” but they believe it encompasses “a track record of strong asset productivity and financial returns as well as cash generation.”

Goldman analysts compiled a list of 15 such stocks for investors, but not only are these stocks “quality” options, they’re also contrarian plays.

Goldman found 15 underappreciated “quality” stocks where their analysts are “out-of-consensus,” meaning the majority of the Street is either “neutral” or “sell” rated while they hold a “buy” rating.

Investors looking to generate alpha with a contrarian view should look no further – compiled below are 15 contrarian, “quality” stocks that Goldman believes offer at least 10% upside by year-end.

Insider has also provided ticker and sector information, upside figures based on the analysts’ price targets, the percentage by which Goldman’s EPS or EBITDA targets exceed consensus levels, and the percentage of “buy” or equivalent ratings from the Street. The following data is as of June 18.
