With the unofficial Memorial Day weekend start to the summer behind us, the first real day of the new season is a short three weeks away on Monday June 21. With school soon to be out in most parts of the country, and COVID-19 restrictions largely loosening or over, families are getting ready for their long-awaited annual summer exodus to all points north, south, east and west for fun and vacations. Many reports indicate that this could be the biggest summer travel season in decades.

In addition, many homeowners are getting ready for summer projects to enhance the value and fun of homeownership, and that caters to the big retailers that fill the needs of gardeners, home repair enthusiasts and more.

We screened our 24/7 Wall St. research database and found a host of top stocks that should do great over the next 90 days. Many are rated Buy by the top firms we cover. It is still important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.
