  • This weekend's Barron's cover story offers comments and picks from the Barron's Mid-Year Roundtable.
  • Other featured articles feature energy stocks and ETFs poised to run and regional banks that should prosper regardless of interest rate changes.
  • The prospects for a memory-chip equipment maker and the world's largest ATM provider are also examined.

"Barron's 2017 Mid-Year Roundtable: 26 Investment Picks" by Lauren R. Rublin suggests that while the market could get bumpy in the second half, Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR and Walt Disney Co DIS could prosper. See what members of the Barron's roundtable, such as Mario Gabelli and Jeff Gundlach, favor now in this cover story. And check out the Barron's Roundtable report card.

In "Energy Shares Could Soon Heat Up," Andrew Bary points out that energy is the worst performing sector in the S&P 500 this year. See why Barron's believes Chevron Corporation CVX and the others are set to pump out more free cash flow and higher share prices could follow. Could the four stocks and two exchange traded funds featured rise as much as 15 percent?

Jack Hough's "Three Banks Worth a Bet: Comerica, SVB, and Zions" makes a case that top regional banks Comerica Incorporated CMA, SVB Financial Group SIVB and Zions Bancorp ZION should prosper, regardless of whether the Federal Reserve continues to push up rates. See why that is good news for shareholders.

With China gearing up to make its own chips, this memory-chip equipment maker stands to gain, according to "Lam Research Could Rise 20% in the Next Year" by Jack Hough. See why Barron's thinks Lam Research Corporation LRCX could see that gain even if China does not quickly ramp up its spending on semiconductor equipment.

In Vito J. Racanelli's "Cash's Survival Is Diebold's Opportunity," see why even though the world's largest ATM provider, Diebold Nixdorf Inc DBD, has seen its shares fall over concerns about cash's long-term sustainability, integration of a merger and a revival could boost shares by up to 40 percent in the next two years. Could the rise of self-checkout machines also offer an opportunity?
