2018 was a tough year for digital memory manufacturers, and investors in Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:STX) and Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) were no exception. In the last trailing-12-month stretch, Seagate is down 20%, and Western Digital is down 48%.
A slowdown in demand for memory products toward the end of the year is to blame, and a rebound isn't expected until later in 2019. Nevertheless, these two stocks look mighty cheap, and both pay out generous dividends. One looks like a better deal, though, as needs for digital memory continue to grow and evolve.

The company's properties are freestanding, not located in malls or shopping centers (which means better margins, lower rent volatility and less dependence on imperiled anchors). Better still, 96% of its rental income is shielded from e-commerce threats. After all, gas stations, drug stores and fast-food chains like Wendy's (Nasdaq: WEN) don't compete with Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN).

Best Cheap Stocks For 2019: S&P GSCI(GD)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Lou Whiteman]
Two of the biggest laggards have been General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) and Huntington Ingalls (NYSE:HII), each down by more than 10% in the past three months. The similarities go well beyond stock performance. The companies have two of the more interesting outlooks for growth among defense players, but each seemed to catch investors off guard over how long it will take that increased business to materialize.

Sciple: That will be our first look at how any of these companies was affected by the shutdown. We had a lot of defense contractors reporting earnings in this past week. Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), Raytheon (NYSE:RTN), Northrop (NYSE:NOC). Of course, those numbers are not embracing a significant chunk of the government shutdown. However, they did give relatively muted guidance looking out into next year. Can you talk about that a little bit?

My price target: $245.
General Dynamics (GD)This is one firm where we have already seen cash flows and margins improving. GD is also another defense name that increased their dividend in March.

In fact, the Navy just awarded a $696 million modification to that program for 2019.
