For my Top 5 ideas list, I focus on Buffett-style "fat pitch" blue-chip bargains: Wonderful companies at wonderful prices, based on fundamentals, not technicals or short-term sentiment. A disciplined, fundamentals-driven approach uses historical fair value multiples and consensus analyst data. My Top 5 Buy List for June - AES, ARE, AMZN, NVDA, and O - offers a 49% historical discount and over 100% return potential if they revert to fair value.

AES offers a compelling value opportunity with a nearly 7% dividend yield that's well-covered by long-term contracted cash flows and a strong growth backlog. The company's fundamentals are robust, featuring steady renewable project progress, new PPAs with major tech firms, and cost-saving initiatives. AES trades at a deeply discounted forward PE of 4.7, far below its historical average, suggesting significant upside potential if valuation normalizes.
