  • This weekend's Barron's takes a look at the expected winners and losers following Donald Trump's election victory.
  • The prospects for a leading biotechnology product development company and a prominent financial services company are also examined.
  • Other featured stories offer where Jeffrey Gundlach sees bond yields going and more on what to expect in the Trump era.

"Trump Win Creates Winners, Losers" by Andrew Bary says that Wall Street quickly decided that Trump's surprise election victory was good for business. See why Barron's thinks JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM and Pfizer Inc. PFE are among the winners, while the likes of Verizon Communications Inc. VZ are not.

In "For-Profit Colleges Could Prosper Under Trump," Bill Alpert points out that investors have bid up shares of DeVry Education Group Inc DV, Capella Education Company CPLA and others, on hopes for reduced regulations. See why the industry, a longtime underperformer, is giving high marks to a Trump presidency.

Jack Hough's "Thermo Fisher Has 30% Upside" examines why, even though this biotechnology product development company has beaten earnings for 20 quarters in a row, its shares are valued no higher than other serial disappointers. Find out why Barron's believes Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. TMO is likely to grow its earnings per share at a double-digit clip for years to come.

If Discover Financial Services DFS can grow its loan book just a little bit faster, the shares could offer a 12 percent return within the next year, according to "Discover: A Credit-Card Stock With a Rewards Program for Investors" by Robin Goldwyn Blumenthal. And if interest rates rise, says the article, Discover looks even more like a winner going forward.

In Jack Hough's "10 Stocks Set to Win Big With Trump Tax Cuts," takes a look at companies that have gotten clobbered by taxes, such as Altria Group Inc MO, CVS Health Corp CVS and CSX Corporation CSX. If rates slide, says Barron's, the earnings of these companies and more could soar and their shares could rally.
