Good afternoon, July could be a strange month for the market. Summer trading usually means lower volume. More volatility. And plenty of investors waiting to see what happens next. But MarketBeat analyst Thomas Hughes says that may be exactly why several stocks are worth watching right now. Because Q2 earnings season starts later this month… And some beaten-down names may be heading into their next catalyst. This month, Thomas’s buy list has a clear theme: Buy the dip. Some of these stocks have pulled back after big rallies. Some have been punished by short-term fears. And some are still stuck in the market’s software panic from earlier this year. Thomas believes several of these pullbacks may be giving investors a better entry point before the next round of earnings. 
In this video, he breaks down five stocks he’s watching for July, including:
- A battery technology stock hit by a short-seller report
- A blue-chip tech giant punished for its AI data center spending
- A data software company showing renewed AI-driven momentum
- A major software name trading near long-term lows
- A cybersecurity stock that may be lagging the rest of the sector for a temporary reason
The setup is interesting. The market is still nervous about AI spending. Software stocks are still trying to recover. And earnings season could either confirm the fear… Or prove the pullbacks went too far. Thomas thinks a few of these names may already be near attractive levels. Click here to see the five stocks he believes could be worth buying on the dip this July. Happy investing, Bridget Bennett
MarketBeat P.S. One stock on this list could have more than 100% upside just to get back to its recent highs. Click here to see why Thomas thinks the rebound case is still alive.

From Behind the Markets: In 1976, Chevron, Unocal, and Texaco each confirmed the same energy technology worked - no fuel costs, no carbon, no supply chain. All three killed their projects because it threatened their core business. Now one company has spent sixty years developing what Big Oil refused to touch. Google just signed a 15-year contract, Bill Gates wrote a $100 million check, and on July 4th the government hands it a competitive edge no other energy source receives.![](<img src="https://www.marketbeat.com/scripts/TriggeredCampaignPixel.ashx?TriggeredCampaignID=20418&UserID=18834792&Placement=EmailPlacement&Source=EmailPlacement&Sender=MarketBeat" alt="tc pixel" height="1" width="1" />)

Trump’s Currency Coup Exposed (Ad)
From Porter & Company: Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security. The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move.![](<img src="https://www.marketbeat.com/scripts/TriggeredCampaignPixel.ashx?TriggeredCampaignID=20361&UserID=18834792&Placement=EmailPlacement&Source=EmailPlacement&Sender=MarketBeat" alt="tc pixel" height="1" width="1" />)
