These are seven of the best stocks to buy that can see substantial returns in the months ahead. Despite the ongoing worries on Wall Street, seasoned investors realize that there may be a bull market in some segments of the market even during these gloomy weeks. Fears of sticky inflation and recession led to many investors reevaluating their investments or pulling their money out of the stock markets altogether. As a result, the S&P 500 index has dropped 23% year to date, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 has lost close to a third of its value. However, for investors who research further, there is always a chance to find the best stocks to buy in a hidden bull market. Including several of those shares could help boost the performance of investment portfolios despite the overall market chaos. Even in 2022, with interest rates hitting a 14-year high in the U.S. and stocks getting hammered, we are experiencing localized bull markets in the energy and utility sectors. For instance, the energy sector, overall, has returned around 18% since January.

The biopharma sector weathered the COVID-19 pandemic fairly well, with the Shares Nasdaq Biotechnology Etf (NASDAQ: IBB ) outperforming the S&P 500 Index. This defensive sector also benefited from opportunity in the form of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Here are the biotechs that advanced in excess of 1,000% thus far this year: Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX ) (Gain: +2799%) Much of Novavax's rally is attributable to its coronavirus vaccine program.

Shares of Bluebird bio Inc. traded 15.1% into the red in morning trading Thursday, after the gene therapy company pushed back the U.S. submission for approval of its sickle cell disease treatment LentiGlobin to late-2022 from the second half of 2021. The stock was headed toward the lowest close since April 15. Regarding LentiGlobin, the company said late Wednesday the submission delay comes after the Food and Drug Administration requested the use of drug product manufactured from sickle cell disease patient cells in addition to healthy donors, to demonstrate drug product comparability. J.P. Morgan analyst Cory Kasimov kept his rating at overweight but slashed his price target to $76 from $140, saying LentiGlobin in sickle cell disease is "arguably the most important value driver" for Bluebird. "Although there is no change in our view on the clinical profile (it's hard to argue that the data to date has been anything short of impressive), these manufacturing related setbacks are getting old, painful and further call into question the company's ability to execute," Kasimov wrote in a note to clients.

Biotech stocks posted weekly declines in the week ended Oct. 23, pressured by the broader market decline amid mixed earnings reports and the impasse on fiscal stimulus. After declining in the first three sessions of the week, the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Etf (NASDAQ: IBB ) rebounded in the next two, thereby recouping some of the losses. Biogen Inc's (NASDAQ: BIIB ) third-quarter report headlined the biopharma earnings news flow of the week. Although the initial reaction was positive due to the better-than-expected headline numbers, the stock came under selling pressure subsequently, as investors fretted over accelerating decline in Spinraza sales and the looming binary event for Alzheimer's treatment candidate aducanumab. On the coronavirus vaccine front, AstraZeneca plc (NASDAQ: AZN ) experienced another scare as a trial participant was reported as dead in Brazil. The U.K. biopharma, however, was vindicated as reports later said the said participant was administered placebo and not the investigational vaccine.
