3 Magnificent Stocks to Buy That Are Near 52-Week Lows

A good company's stock is an even better buy at a lower price. Here's a rundown of three such names.Even with the market's recent stumble, most stocks remain near their recently reached 52-week highs. This, of course, can make things tough for bargain-hunting investors. But it's not every name. A handful of tickers worth owning are within sight of 52-week lows, and for misguided reasons. With a potential reversal on the near-term horizon, these tickers may be worth stepping into now. Here's a closer look at three of your best bets among these outfits right now.

Like its North American e-commerce counterpart did in its early days when growth was more important than profits, MercadoLibre (MELI 0.35%) has been subsidizing its recent expansion in Brazil by offering free shipping on many online purchases, taking a bite out of its earnings. For perspective, while its third-quarter top line improved 39% year over year to $7.4 billion, operating income growth lagged, mostly due to the resulting soaring cost of sales.

And, given that MercadoLibre won't need to wait as long as Amazon did for technology to catch up with its growth ambitions, it's just going to require going through some growing pains. 2. BYD It's been an unusually tough year for China's electric vehicle maker BYD Company (BYDDY +2.85%), and by extension, for its shareholders. The stock's down nearly 40% from May's high, as its share of China's EV market was pared back from 34% in 2024 to just over 27% last year, according to numbers from China's Passenger Car Association reported by CnEVPost.

It's a headwind, however, that most investors aren't accustomed to seeing the EV powerhouse face -- particularly in its home country. Local competitors like Geely, Chery, and others simply turned up the heat last year by bringing their vehicles to the market en masse. There are two details to consider about the subsequent headwind for this stock, however. First, while these competitors will certainly continue to ramp up production, the newness of their vehicles is no longer a factor; any adverse changes in BYD's year-over-year comps from here won't look nearly so dire. Second, BYD is now taking Europe by storm.

The European Automobile Manufacturers Association says registrations of BYD-made vehicles jumped nearly 269% in 2025, with similar growth in the cards this year. 3. Netflix Finally, add Netflix (NFLX 3.08%) to your list of stocks to buy while they're near their 52-week lows. This one's down nearly 40% since late June.

Discovery; it doesn't want its cable TV arm. But, given that Warner's streaming business and studios that Netflix does want are only going to turn a little over $20 billion worth of revenue into roughly $3 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for 2025, the suitor's $83 billion all-cash offer seems far too high. There are two possible outcomes from here, however, both of which are bullish. One of them is that Netflix will indeed be able to do more with Warner's assets than Warner can on its own, achieving the suggested $2 billion to $3 billion in cost-saving synergies the pairing is expected to facilitate. The other possibility is the deal doesn't get done -- which is seemingly what most investors want -- thus unwinding all the recent bearishness. Either way, the bulk of the risk here is already baked into NFLX's stock price.Read NextFeb 11, 2026 •By Will HealyMain Street Research Dumps 15,000 MercadoLibre Shares for $37 MillionFeb 10, 2026 •By Manali Pradhan, CFAThe Underground Growth Stock That's About to Shock Wall Street (It's Not What You Think)Feb 4, 2026 •By Will HealyC WorldWide Group Loads Up 45,000 MercadoLibre Shares Worth $94 MillionFeb 4, 2026 •By Will HealyGot $5,000? 2 Stocks to Buy in February While They're on Sale.Jan 28, 2026 •By John BallardMercadoLibre and Chipotle: 2 Consumer Names With Serious Pricing Power​Jan 26, 2026 •By Prosper Junior BakinyPrediction: These 2 Growth Stocks Will Beat the Market Through 2031About the AuthorJames Brumley is a contributing Motley Fool stock market analyst covering consumer staples and consumer discretionary stocks.
