1. Sirius XM
It's been 20 years since Howard Stern put satellite radio on the map. The format isn't as revolutionary as it used to be, especially with so many connected cars that let drivers seamlessly use their smartphone apps through dashboard stereo systems.
Sirius XM's subscriber base peaked six years ago, but it has declined from 34.9 million in 2019 to 33 million last year. Perhaps more importantly, Sirius XM is still generating 10-figure free cash flow that it's putting to work through buybacks and distributions.
You may be surprised to see annual revenue up 10% in those six years. Folks are paying a bit more, and advertisers have shifted their marketing spend to attract this hard-to-reach audience on the go. And with its aggressive repurchases, its fully diluted share count has contracted by 23%. Revenue per share has grown from $16.88 in 2019 to $23.97 in 2025, a 42% increase. The company is also more profitable on a per-share basis.
Sirius XM has seen its top line dip in the past couple of years, but analysts see a return to growth in 2027. In the meantime, you can buy Sirius XM just 6.8 times this year's profit target. Investors are collecting a 5.1% yield.
2. Crocs
As with Sirius XM, you probably figured that Crocs was a passing craze years ago. The maker of distinctive footwear posted five years of double-digit revenue growth, which ended when top-line gains decelerated in 2024 and turned marginally negative in 2025. But the stock rallied last week on better-than-expected fourth-quarter results and blowout earnings.
Crocs should return to revenue growth in 2026, and the $12.88 to $13.55 it is now modeling for per-share net income implies the stock is trading at 7.1 to 7.5 times forward earnings. Crocs stock doesn't pay a dividend, but it's using its good fortune to reduce its share count and its debt.
3. Comcast
Comcast is one of the Big Six media companies. Its cash cow -- as the leader in cable TV and broadband connectivity -- is in a gradual state of decline. Thankfully, it has popular entertainment properties and a growing theme park empire that just posted 22% revenue growth in its latest quarter. It recently spun off some of its slower-growing cable assets, but the leftovers are worth heating up.
The spinoff will mean that revenue and earnings take a small step back this year, but Wall Street pros see 8% growth on both the top and bottom lines in 2027. You can buy Comcast stock for 8.6 times forward earnings and a 4.2% yield.
