Stocks I Love From Companies I Hate

By Travis Hoium – Aug 31, 2022 at 2:31PM EST

These companies may not be the easiest to deal with, but that doesn't mean they aren't great investments.

Certain companies are awful to do business with. But that can tell us they have such a big moat they don't have to be the best at customer relations, and they can be great stocks. Comcast (CMCSA +1.36%), Meta Platforms (META +0.47%), and ExxonMobil (XOM 0.17%) fit the bill.
