Got $1,000? 5 Stocks to Buy Now While They're on Sale.

After seeing the indexes at record highs, one might assume that today's market offers few bargains. Indeed, the recent Shiller P/E ratio of 42 is near record highs, which understandably might make investors nervous.

Still, much of that increase has accrued to a few AI stocks. This has left numerous stocks, particularly in the consumer sector, trading at lower levels. That means investors can find bargains, even with a $1,000 budget, and with that, they should probably look at these five stocks.

1. Celsius Holdings

Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) stock has lost more than half of its value since peaking last fall. The company has acquired additional brands such as Alani Nu and Rockstar.

Nonetheless, those recently purchased brands accounted for nearly all of the company's growth, as revenue in the first quarter of 2026 rose by 138% yearly. However, revenue growth for the Celsius brand was up by only 6% over the same time frame, representing a massive slowdown from past years.

The good news is that although its trailing P/E ratio is at 73, a forward P/E ratio of 19 implies Celsius is on its way to becoming a value stock. Moreover, its recent price of $214 will buy seven shares in this consumer staples stock, likely to be revived as other brands in the portfolio drive most of the growth.

2. Sea Limited

Southeast Asian conglomerate Sea Limited (NYSE: SE) is off by more than 40% from its high. Rising competition in its e-commerce business, increasing loan-loss provisions in its fintech arm, and a heavy dependence on Free Fire in the gaming division are among the company's challenges.

Still, the company's annual revenue growth in Q1 of 47% points to the potential for growth despite net income rising by only 7% amid its headwinds. Also, the lowest revenue growth came from the gaming business. But since its revenue increase was 41% for the same period, the company's growth appears to be broad-based.

Additionally, that level of revenue growth makes its 43 P/E ratio easier for investors to forgive. That could make spending about $218 to buy two shares a wise move.

3. Target

Target (NYSE: TGT) stock suffered for most of the decade from a series of unforced errors. High inventory levels, messy stores, and an unnecessary involvement in politics were among the decisions that led to years of same-store sales declines. Although Target is up 30% this year, the stock is still down nearly 50% from its all-time high.

That recent rise came as Michael Fiddelke took over as CEO in February. He pledged to spend $5 billion revamping stores and the company's supply chain, and in this latest quarter, sales grew by nearly 7%.

Moreover, it is likely not too late to buy, as Target's P/E ratio is 18, well under Walmart's 40 earnings multiple. Also, Target's dividend, which has risen for 55 straight years, yields 3.3%. From there, investors can capitalize on this recovery by buying a one-share starting position for around $141.

4. Clorox

Clorox (NYSE: CLX) represents a diverse brand portfolio. In addition to its flagship bleach brand, its portfolio includes Hidden Valley, Burt's Bees, and its recent acquisition of Purell.

Unfortunately, problems such as an internal software overhaul slowed sales and increased inventories. That may still be contributing to the flat sales growth in the latest quarter. Also, the cost of the Purell acquisition diluted earnings.

Fortunately, its dividend, which has risen annually for decades, yields 5.1%. Also, the company's struggles left it with a P/E ratio of just 16, which arguably prices in its troubles. Such conditions indicate that buying two shares for about $196 could give investors an income stream as Clorox works to get sales levels back on track.

5. J.M. Smucker

Like Clorox, J.M. Smucker (NYSE: SJM) holds a diverse brand portfolio, which includes its flagship jelly brand, Milk Bone, Hostess, and coffee brands like Folgers and Dunkin'.

Unfortunately, the stock has been on a downward slide for more than four years. Challenges such as the costs of acquiring Hostess and the rising cost of coffee, a key part of the Smucker portfolio, have weighed on the stock.

Still, Smucker reported a 6% yearly increase in revenue in its latest quarter. Also, it is coming out of a period of losses when it suffered through impairment charges. Although the recent losses left it without a trailing P/E ratio, the forward P/E of 11 makes it a compelling bargain. When also considering its 4% dividend yield, one should consider a two-share starting position for around $220.
