Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist, head of investment solutions and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors, said there was an overreaction in Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) stock on Monday and recommended buying it.

Shares of banking and financial stocks, including Capital One Financial, traded lower on Monday after President Donald Trump said failure to cap rates at 10% by Jan. 20 will be treated as a violation of the law.

Joe Terranova, senior managing director for Virtus Investment Partners, said TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:TKO) held the 50-day, is bouncing nicely, and is still in a bull trend.

Lending support to his choice, BTIG analyst Tyler DiMatteo, on Dec. 31, maintained TKO Group with a Buy and raised the price target from $235 to $250.
