The report offers insights into three stocks currently experiencing sell-offs due to adverse market conditions but underscores their business fundamentals as long-term investment opportunities.

ExxonMobil (XOM)

ExxonMobil has seen a dip in stock price correlated with falling oil prices, yet the company's earnings have increased by more than $15 billion over the last five years. It is projected that ExxonMobil could achieve an earnings growth of over $20 billion by 2030 and cash-flow growth of around $30 billion in the same period. This positions ExxonMobil positively for the long term, especially considering its enterprise value-to-EBITDA ratio that stands at 6.4 and an attractive forward dividend yield of 3.75%.

Nvidia (NVDA)

Nvidia’s stock recently experienced fluctuations, yet the long-term outlook remains solid with strong demand for its GPUs, particularly the new Blackwell processors anticipated to outperform previous products. There is ongoing robust demand for its existing Hopper GPUs as well. The growth in accelerated computing investments globally further cements Nvidia's position as a leader in the industry.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX)

Vertex has faced challenges with disappointing phase 2 test results for its new pain drug. However, it still met primary endpoints, and the company plans to move forward with phase 3 testing. Additionally, Vertex's approval of a new cystic fibrosis drug by the FDA positions the company favorably, with an expected revenue growth boost as new products are integrated into the market. The expectation of future FDA approvals also adds to the company's strong outlook despite the short-term setbacks.
