2 Beaten-Down Stocks Worth Buying and Holding for the Next Decade

These companies haven't said their last words.

Two stocks that have fallen out of favor may present solid opportunities for long-term investors. The S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings ratio, a key valuation tool, has surpassed previous levels since the late 1990s. Yet, there are still attractive stocks to buy. Two such companies to consider are Netflix and Intuitive Surgical.

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has had a challenging year. Its financial performance has been underwhelming, and user engagement has not been particularly robust. Viewing hours increased by only 2% year over year during the first half of the year. However, Netflix maintains one of the largest pools of paid subscribers in the streaming sector. This could be crucial for its future recovery. The company needs to innovate and keep viewers engaged in an increasingly crowded entertainment landscape.

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) is another stock worth considering. While details about this company were not provided in the source material, it's clear that both Netflix and Intuitive Surgical could offer promising opportunities for investors looking to buy beaten-down stocks and hold them for the next decade.
