Internet 'utility names' Mahaney's top picks

Declines in a few online stocks, especially so-called utility names, present a buying opportunity, Mark Mahaney of RBC Capital Markets said Wednesday.

"So, when I refer to Internet utilities, I refer to the online retail utility, that's Amazon; online search utility, that's Google; online video utility, that's Netflix," he said. "Some of those names, I think, are presenting attractive opportunities. I don't think they're aggressive entry points, but they're more attractive, obviously, than they were two days ago."

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Mahaney said that he also saw "a lot of valuation support for two names: Google and Priceline."

Stocks he would avoid include a few that have seen double-digit declines over the past few days, such as Groupon and LinkedIn. "I don't think it's a buying point here," he said.

Smaller-cap stocks such as Yelp, Trulia, and Yelp appeared to have been "running too fast, too far," Mahaney added.

Over the next two to three weeks, quarterly earnings reports would also come into play.

As for those with the most upside to earnings estimates, Mahaney said, "I'd probably put Facebook and Priceline as the safest stocks in those groups."
