ALERT: 3 New Trades in the Best Businesses for December
Welcome to the final month of 2025. And the first of our three year-end trading cycles.
Today, IRVING’s AI has a few trades for you to make to position yourself for the next seven trading days.
And these new ones are exactly the types of businesses you’ll want to hold in December.
This system recommends you swap out two of your open trades for three new ones … and hold onto your third for another cycle.
Here’s what to do:
Buy:
Brixmor Property Group (BRX)
Willis Towers Watson (WTW)
Unum Group (UNM)
Hold:
Howmet Aerospace (HWM)
Sell:
Cal-Maine Foods (CALM)
Johnson Controls International (JCI)
As of right now, BRX trades at $25.28. WTW goes for $319.21. And UNM is priced at $75.01.
Get those buy orders in as soon as you can.
It looks like you’ll break even on your two “Sells.”
Both remain “Buys” in our ratings.
But IRVING’s AI believes today’s new additions are better places to invest over the next seven days.
So, let’s get into those new ideas …
Brixmor has been rated a “Hold” or “Buy” since 2020.
It was recently upgraded twice — once in July and again in September.
It’s a real estate investment trust, or REIT, with 354 shopping centers across the U.S.
Adobe forecasts that retailers may look back on the 2025 shopping cycle as the first quarter-trillion-dollar holiday season.
And Brixmor … yes, bricks and mortar … could be a beneficiary of those seeking visits with Santa and last-minute sales.
Speaking of sales …
Brixmor’s balance sheet is strong — with an Excellent grade on the Weiss Solvency Index.
That’s key for a REIT. Since Brixmor doesn’t actually produce any goods, its properties are its whole business.
And it’s been a good business to be in.
As of its most recent quarter, it had a 94.1% occupancy rate and lower maintenance costs.
The only news concerning investors comes from a management “shake up.”
Its CEO is stepping down on the first of the new year. But its president and COO is stepping up.
He’s already filled in before as interim CEO. So, this should be a seamless transition.
That said, BRX shares have dipped recently, making this a great time to grab a discount.
As for your other new “Buys” for this cycle …
Willis was a recent trade. You should have closed a small gain on it just before Thanksgiving.
IRVING’s AI hints at a potentially larger return this time around.
It’s an insurance broker, capital management company and HR solutions provider, all wrapped up in one.
These are great businesses to be in during the final month of the year, as companies get 2026-ready.
That’s likely why it is being joined by Unum on today’s AI list.
Unum is a workplace protection insurer in the U.S. and UK. Though, it has a wide range of plans — from dental and life to disability and pet.
Its “Buy” rating has been unbroken since 2022.
A recent restructuring of its reinsurance funds and a rollover of its senior notes bolstered its balance sheet.
That’s part of the reason why its Solvency Index rating is Excellent.
Like BRX, UNM also saw a recent decline. But early price action today indicates it is ripe for a new trade.
Get in on all these new stocks.
That leaves Howmet, your aerospace and defense contractor.
Shares have fallen a bit since we got into it. But they are positioned to bounce from here. Hold.
That’s it for today. Your next trade day will be Dec. 15.
We’ll talk then.
Take care,
AL Qureiyeh
