All of the stocks still have good upside potential despite the fact that they have already risen in the past year. The only exception was Workday. The stocks are certainly attractive for fundamental investors and make it a worthy investment for Tudor’s portfolio. In future articles we are going to calculate the intrinsic values of these stocks to determine if they are a good buy in terms of valuation.
