CF Industries Holdings Inc (CF) Stock News & Articles - 24/7 Wall St. Insightful Analysis and Commentary for U.S. and Global Equity Investors Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:49:28 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Jim Cramer Saw Copper Reaching $100, Yet One Trader Bought the Drop Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:49:28 +0000 The post Jim Cramer Saw Copper Reaching $100, Yet One Trader Bought the Drop appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. On the August 31 Mad Money “Off the Charts” segment with Bob Lang, Jim Cramer laid out a copper roadmap. Working the technicals on Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX), Cramer said “if 75 and change can break out, it goes to $80. That would be terrific. It’s smooth sailing then to “if 75 and change can break out, it goes to $80. That would be terrific. It’s smooth sailing then to $100.”00.” He added that the volume behind the copper miners meant “this rally is the real deal.” The breakout level failed almost immediately. FCX closed at $75.74 on August 31, the exact level Cramer flagged, then slid 4.2% to $72.56 by September 3. Over the past week the stock is down 6.66% to $73.20. The one-year chart still shows a 59.91% gain, so this is a pullback inside a powerful uptrend. Kevin Simpson Buys the Drop and Names His Kill Switch Kevin Simpson of Capital Wealth Planning added to both Freeport-McMoRan and Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM) into the pullback on CNBC’s Halftime Report, extending a hard commodities theme he started the prior week with CF Industries (NYSE:CF). His reasoning for favoring copper over gold: “you’ve got an application for them with respect to electrification. If you believe in the data center build out.” That buildout runs on more than chips: we rounded up seven of the power, cooling, and infrastructure suppliers behind it in a free report on the AI infrastructure trade. Simpson publicly named his macro kill switch: “If we get a rate hike in September, October, December, then forget the gold trade. I mean I’m completely off base with this,” he said. That is a rare admission of a specific condition that would invalidate the trade. Copper Bull Case Freeport Is Selling Freeport’s numbers explain why Cramer and Simpson are aligned. In Q1 2026, FCX reported adjusted EPS of $0.57 versus $0.47 expected on revenue of $6.23 billion, up 12.2% year over year, with a realized copper price of $5.78 per pound versus $4.44 a year earlier. It was FCX’s fourth consecutive EPS beat. On the Q2 conference call, CEO Kathleen Quirk said “as we look forward, it is clear the market will require additional copper supplies to meet growing demand.” Freeport modeled 2027-2028 EBITDA at roughly roughly $13 billion at $5 copper and $20 billion at $7 copper3 billion at $5 copper and $20 billion at $7 copper, with each 10-cent move in copper worth about $390 million in annual EBITDA. Details are in the company’s Q1 2026 8-K filing. The macro tailwinds are real. The USGS added copper to the Critical Minerals list in November 2025, and S&P Global projects copper demand reaching 42 million metric tons by 2040, a 50% increase driven by electrification, AI data centers, and defense. Sell-side analysts carry an average price target of $72.05 on FCX, which the stock has already exceeded. Gold and Fertilizer Legs of Simpson’s Trade Agnico Eagle is a pure gold play. Q2 2026 delivered adjusted EPS of $3.07 on revenue of $3.80 billion, up 35% year over year, with realized gold at $4,483 per ounce, close to today’s spot price near $4,418. AEM is still up 36.23% over the past month at $204.71 even after this week’s 4.76% pullback. CF Industries has gained 9.56% since August 28 and is up 76.88% year to date. What to Watch Next The trade hinges on two factors. First, the Grasberg ramp. Freeport targets roughly 65% of capacity in H2 2026, 80% by mid-2027, and near full capacity by end of 2027. Second, the Fed. Simpson has told the market exactly which outcome breaks his thesis. If copper holds the $5.78 realized level and rate cuts stay on the table, Cramer’s path to $100 stays alive. If not, the $75 breakout that failed on August 31 becomes a warning shot for the broader thesis.

CF Industries Holdings (NYSE:CF) has been a standout performer in basic materials this year. The stock is up 4.62% over the past week, 35.52% over the past month, and 64.32% year-to-date, trading at $131.67 as of March 26, 2026. Most Wall Street analysts remain cautious, with a consensus price target of just $107.68 across 16 Hold, 2 Buy, and 2 Sell ratings. UBS stands apart, raising its price target to $140 from $97 while maintaining a Neutral rating — roughly 9% above the current price and well above Street consensus. Can CF realistically reach $140 by end of 2026? UBS’s $140 CF Prediction UBS sees scope for further upside in nitrogen pricing and earnings, with the current industry disruption more severe than what is reflected in gas and nitrogen pricing at present, depending on duration. The firm’s thesis centers on a supply shock the broader market has not fully priced in. Urea prices have surged 77% due to supply disruptions, yet CF’s stock still trades at a P/E of just 14.28x, well below the broader chemicals sector average — suggesting meaningful re-rating potential if nitrogen pricing holds. Key Drivers of CF Stock Performance Middle East Supply Disruptions: Conflict in the Persian Gulf has stalled fertilizer exports from major regional producers. Iran-U.S. tensions and effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz have tightened global nitrogen supply sharply. As North America’s largest nitrogen producer, CF is insulated from these disruptions while benefiting from the resulting price spike, creating durable margin expansion. Strong Global Nitrogen Demand: U.S. corn plantings are expected to remain high in 2026, while India’s urea stocks are approximately 35% lower year-over-year. Global nitrogen demand is growing at roughly 1.5% annually, and new capacity under construction is not projected to keep pace, supporting a pricing floor that benefits long-term holders. Capital Returns and Clean Energy Growth: CF returned $1.70 billion to shareholders in 2025 and has approximately $1.7 billion remaining on its $2 billion buyback program through December 2029. The Blue Point low-carbon ammonia joint venture with JERA and Mitsui, targeting production in 2029, positions CF for the emerging clean hydrogen economy — adding long-duration growth to an already cash-generative business. What Will It Take for CF to Reach $140? With 153.6 million shares outstanding, a $140 price target represents meaningful upside from today’s market capitalization of $21.5 billion. Getting there requires nitrogen prices to remain elevated through mid-to-late 2026, the Yazoo City Complex outage to resolve on schedule by Q4 2026, and continued execution on the Blue Point JV. Natural gas costs bear watching: after spiking to $7.72/MMBtu in January 2026 before pulling back to $3.62 in February, input cost volatility remains the central variable in CF’s margin equation. The primary risk is a geopolitical de-escalation that normalizes nitrogen supply faster than expected, unwinding the pricing tailwind underpinning UBS’s thesis. Even so, with full-year 2025 free cash flow of $1.789 billion, a disciplined buyback program, and a structural cost advantage over European and Asian producers, CF presents a combination of near-term pricing leverage and long-term compounding through capital returns and clean energy optionality.

Mosaic (NYSE:MOS) is trading near its 52-week low after shares fell about 14% over the past week and about 13% over the past month. The catalyst was a Q4 2025 net loss of $519.5 million, driven by surging sulfur costs and a $189 million impairment charge. Yet full-year 2025 net income came in at $540.7 million, a number that tells a very different story than the headline quarter. It won’t come as much of a surprise to learn that Reddit has taken notice. A single thread on r/wallstreetbets is driving all of Mosaic’s current social sentiment, with a bullish score of 72 out of 100 across four consecutive measurement periods over the past 30 hours. 24/7 Wall St.This infographic details Mosaic (MOS) as a potential “sleeper trade” investment with a bullish social sentiment score of 72, driven by geopolitical concerns and market supply factors as of March 23, 2026. The Hormuz Fertilizer Thesis The dominant thread, posted by u/Cueg, frames Mosaic as a geopolitical sleeper trade. The post argues that oil gets the headlines, but fertilizer is the second-order play: “a massive chunk (1/3) of global fertilizer production and logistics runs through that region, directly or indirectly… fertilizer feels like it lags, then moves harder once shortages actually show up.” If Hormuz stays disrupted, fertilizer might be the sleeper tradeby u/Cueg in wallstreetbets   The post has accumulated 1,198 upvotes and 473 comments as of early Tuesday, up from 728 upvotes and 401 comments at peak engagement Monday evening. Activity scores held steady rather than spiked, suggesting genuine investment discussion. The bullish case rests on three structural arguments: Chinese phosphate exports are expected to fall more than 1.5 million tonnes, tightening global supply into 2026 and pushing buyers toward Mosaic’s volumes. Mosaic’s Brazil segment delivered 190% EBITDA growth year-over-year in Q3 2025, with gross margins expanding from $44 to $65 per tonne, making it the company’s clearest growth engine. Mosaic trades at roughly 14x earnings, well below the chemicals industry average of 26x and the peer group average of 19x.   Sulfur Costs and the Bear Case Looking at analyst considerations, Bank of America downgraded Mosaic from Buy to Neutral on March 20-21, cutting its price target to $30 from $33 and declaring that “margin expansion is now more likely a 2027 story.” As a result of this analyst shift, the stock fell nearly 10% on that day alone. CFO Luciano Pires was direct on the Q4 earnings call: “Every $10 increase in sulfur prices adds approximately $10 million of quarterly expense. Compared with the prior year first quarter, we thus expect a roughly $250 million headwind to Q1 ’26 EBITDA.” Sulfur hit approximately $500 per metric ton late in Q4 2025, against a recorded cost of $306 per tonne. Working capital consumed $960 million in cash during 2025. Peer Nutrien (NYSE:NTR) trades at a trailing P/E of roughly 16x, with a market cap near $35 billion, offering more diversified fertilizer exposure with less Brazil-concentration risk. CF Industries (NYSE:CF) is up 65% year to date, largely because its domestic natural gas advantage insulates it from the sulfur and ammonia inflation squeezing Mosaic. Management expects a $300 to $500 million working capital release in 2026, and phosphate conversion costs are already on a downward path toward a sub-$100 per tonne target. The underlying supply tightness in phosphate is real. Whether Brazil’s credit constraints and sulfur headwinds clear fast enough to show up in cash flow is the question that matters.

A leading global manufacturer of hydrogen and nitrogen products, CF Industries (NYSE:CF) has surged 59% year-to-date amid Iran-linked supply disruptions, which have tightened global nitrogen markets, with shares reaching $123.29 as of March 17. But the rally drawing retail investors is also drawing federal regulators, raising a question Reddit has not fully priced in: is CF sitting on a geopolitical windfall, or walking into a legal trap? The fundamentals are hard to argue with as CF reported Q4 2025 revenue of $1.87 billion, beating estimates by 7%, with gross margin expanding to 40.9% from 34.4% a year earlier. Other good news included full-year net income of $1.455 billion, up 19%. Additionally, a $169.5 million cash settlement from Orica, announced March 16, added a near-term cash tailwind. Then came the headwind: a DOJ antitrust probe that put a legal overhang on what had been a clean supply-disruption story. 24/7 Wall St.This infographic details the investment profile of CF Industries, highlighting its ‘Very Bullish’ social sentiment score of 88, driven by strong tailwinds and moderated by identified headwinds. Reddit Found the Hormuz Trade Early Sentiment on CF climbed from 72 on March 9 to 88 by March 12-13, driven by two waves. The geopolitical angle broke first in r/stocks, where a post titled “Not just oil….but also fertiliser…one third passes through the Hormuz” framed CF as a direct beneficiary of Middle East supply chain disruption, arguing that CF Industries stands to benefit as one-third of global fertiliser supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz and any disruption removes a major competing supply source from world markets. Not just oil….but also fertiliser…one third passes through the Hormuzby u/[post_author] in stocks   Days later, r/wallstreetbets lit up with gains posts. $CF 100k++ gainz in one day, thank you Value Investors for the fertilizers heads upby u/wallstreetbets_poster in wallstreetbets   That post reached 212 upvotes and 70 comments by March 13. The structural case behind the enthusiasm: ~20% of European ammonia capacity and ~25% of European urea capacity are currently curtailed, removing a major competing supply source from global markets CF’s 97% FY 2025 capacity utilization sits 10% above North American peers, giving it maximum leverage on tight pricing Russian nitrogen exports run approximately 15% below pre-war levels, and Chinese urea exports remain restricted under strict quotas   The Legal Overhang Institutional Investors Are Watching The bull case collides with a pattern institutions have noticed, as insiders tracking the stock have logged 25 sales and zero buys over the past year, including director and former CEO Anthony Will selling 57,364 shares worth $6.27 million on March 9 and W. Will selling 81,651 shares at $126.56 on March 13. Barclays, AustralianSuper, and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board all trimmed or cut positions in February and March. The analyst consensus is “Hold” with a price target near $101, well below where shares trade today. Mosaic (NYSE:MOS), focused on phosphate and potash rather than nitrogen, is idling lower-margin Brazilian facilities amid weak U.S. phosphate demand. CF’s nitrogen focus and North American gas cost advantage put it in a structurally different position. The key watch item is how the DOJ probe develops: formal price-fixing charges could unwind the geopolitical premium faster than the supply disruption that built it.The post CF Industries Is Up 59% Year to Date and a DOJ Probe Just Complicated the Story appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..]]> CF Industries Is Up 76% and Fertilizer Supply Is Why Fri, 13 Mar 2026 17:35:24 +0000 The post CF Industries Is Up 76% and Fertilizer Supply Is Why appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. The world’s largest producer of ammonia, CF Industries (NYSE:CF) shares hit an all-time high this week, up 67.6% year-to-date as escalating Middle East conflict tightened global nitrogen supply and sent fertilizer prices surging. CF is trading around $129.60 on Friday after pulling back from a $136 close on March 12. The thesis is straightforward right now, even amid international disarray, as Iran and the Strait of Hormuz handle a meaningful share of global fertilizer flows, and CF is one of the few large-scale North American producers positioned to fill that gap at a structural cost advantage. Reddit Found CF Before the Headlines Did Retail sentiment climbed from 72 on March 9 to a sustained 88 by March 12, with r/wallstreetbets driving most of the volume. The geopolitical angle surfaced first in r/stocks, where the post “Not just oil….but also fertiliser…one third passes through the Hormuz” drew early attention to the supply disruption. Not just oil….but also fertiliser…one third passes through the Hormuzby u/stocks_poster in stocks   In “$CF 100k++ gainz in one day, thank you Value Investors for the fertilizers heads up”, the poster wrote: “Saw the fertilizer Hormuz thread in r/stocks last week and loaded up on CF calls — paid off big today.” That post reached 192 upvotes and 65 comments by Friday morning. The bullish case rests on three pillars: Roughly 20% of European ammonia capacity and 25% of urea capacity are currently curtailed, removing a major supply source from global markets CF posted full-year revenue of $7.08 billion, up 19.1% year-over-year, with Q4 gross margin expanding to 38.5% from 34.6% versus the prior year North American natural gas costs remain far below European feedstock prices, giving CF a durable margin advantage as long as that spread holds   Solid Earnings, Fragile Geopolitical Premium The good news for investors closely watching the stock is that this rally is not purely speculative, as CF beat Q4 EPS estimates by $0.11 to $2.59 versus the $2.48 consensus, and full-year adjusted EBITDA grew to $2.89 billion from $2.28 billion in 2024. Barclays raised its price target to $120, citing favorable nitrogen market forecasts, though the stock has already blown past that level. Prediction markets assign only a 19.5% probability to the Iran conflict resolving by March 31, suggesting the supply-disruption narrative has room to persist in the near term. 24/7 Wall St.This infographic details the investment profile of CF Industries, highlighting its ‘Very Bullish’ social sentiment score and the key factors driving it, including geopolitical supply tightening, strong Q4 2025 earnings, and a low-carbon ammonia strategy. CF’s Blue Ammonia Bet Changes the Long-Term Story Even if the geopolitical tailwind fades, CF is building a second act. The Blue Point joint venture with JERA and Mitsui targets low-carbon ammonia production in Louisiana, and the Yazoo City carbon capture project with ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) is targeting a 2028 startup. CF already sold its first certified low-carbon ammonia cargoes at premium prices in Q3 2025. Analysts will be watching whether the clean ammonia platform can support a higher valuation floor once the geopolitical premium fades.The post CF Industries Is Up 76% and Fertilizer Supply Is Why appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..]]> Stock Market Live August 13: As President Trump Threatens to Sue Fed Chair Powell, the S&P 500 (VOO) Keeps Marching Higher Wed, 13 Aug 2025 12:58:18 +0000 The post Stock Market Live August 13: As President Trump Threatens to Sue Fed Chair Powell, the S&P 500 (VOO) Keeps Marching Higher appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

(Sponsor)Wednesday Wrap-up4:17pm ETThe Vanguard S&P 500 ETF closed at 592.84 Wednesday, up 0.35%. Walmart Rolls Back Prices for Employees11:45am ETS&P 500 component company Walmart (NYSE: WMT) just announced it will expand its 10% “employee discount” on goods purchased in its stores to include grocery items. Rival grocers AFLAC (NYSE: TGT) and Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) Whole Foods already give discounts of 10% to 20% on grocery items purchased in-store by employees, and Walmart’s move should help keep the company competitive when trying to attract workers from rival employers. There is a risk the move will ding profits, however, and Walmart stock is down 1.8% today. The Voo is holding onto a 0.2% gain.   AFLAC Flies Higher10:04am ETBMO Capital analyst Jack Matten raised his price target on S&P 500 component AFLAC (NYSE: AFL) to $105 this morning, but with only a neutral “market perform” rating. The analyst sees AFLAC earning about $6.91 per share this year, rising to $7.38 in 2026, and cites “better U.S. segment margins, Japan segment growth, stronger net investment income, and higher share repurchases” as all encouraging for the stock. AFLAC shares are up 1.6%. CF Gets an 'A'9:31am ETBarclays  analyst Benjamin Theurer upgraded S&P 500 component company CF Industries (NYSE: CF) to overweight this morning, with a price target of $100. CF is in line to earn a $50-per-ton benefit from section 45Q tax credits for low-carbon production of ammonia, says the analyst, potentially boosting adjusted EBITDA by 10% in 2026. CF stock is up a modest 0.3% in the opening minutes of trading. The Voo is also up 0.3%. This article will be updated throughout the day, so check back often for more daily updates. A tame inflation report set the stock market on fire yesterday, sending the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) up 1%. But can the momentum continue into Wednesday? President Trump is doing his best to keep the rally going, albeit in a novel way — by threatening to sue Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell if the Federal Open Markets Committee doesn’t agree to lower interest rate targets very soon. “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell must NOW lower the rate,” declared the President on Truth Social last night, aiming to jolt the stock market higher with  hopes of a rate cut. Additionally, the President plans to nominate Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Antoni is known to favor discontinuing the publication of monthly unemployment updates, switching to a quarterly data system that he says would be “more accurate, though less timely.” Such a move would also give investors less information to worry about, potentially smoothing out monthly market gyrations. Long story short, big changes are afoot. And yet, investors seem to be taking all of the above in stride, and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is trading up 0.3% premarket. Earnings Chili’s Grill & Bar and Maggiano’s Little Italy operator Brinker International (NYSE: EAT) reported fiscal Q4 earnings of $2.49 per share this morning, a nickel better than analyst estimates. Quarterly revenue of $1.44 billion nailed the analyst forecast. Brinker followed up the good news with an optimistic  forecast for $5.6 billion to $5.7 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, and earnings between $9.90 and $10.50 per share, sending its stock up more than 6% premarket. 3-D printing company Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS) reported a Q2 profit of $0.03 per share, right in line with Wall Street expectations. Revenue was $138.1 million, ahead of estimates. Stratasys’s guidance, however, was exceedingly weak: $550 million to $560 million in sales, below analyst forecasts, and earnings of no more than $0.16 per share — half of what Wall Street wanted to see. Stratasys shares are moving 13% lower premarket.

Chesapeake Energy Corp - New (CHK) Stock News & Articles - 24/7 Wall St. Insightful Analysis and Commentary for U.S. and Global Equity Investors Fri, 12 Jan 2024 14:22:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Energy News Roundup: Chesapeake Energy (CHK) Merger, Red Sea Conflict and More Fri, 12 Jan 2024 14:25:23 +0000 The post Energy News Roundup: Chesapeake Energy (CHK) Merger, Red Sea Conflict and More appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..Turmoil in the Middle East, particularly in the Red Sea and Suez, sent crude prices on a wild ride. Prices dropped by about $3.50 a barrel early in the week and had gained all of that back and a little more by Friday morning. Here is a recap of the week’s events. Red Sea attacks drive crude prices up Attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have driven U.S. crude prices higher for Asian customers. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude both traded up by around 3.5% Friday morning, following Thursday attacks by U.S. and British forces that killed five people in Yemen. The Houthi-led attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have sent shipping rates for crude and refined products soaring. (These 29 countries are at war right now.) Yemen is situated at the southern end of the Red Sea on the east side of the Bar el-Mandeb Strait. The route through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea is critical to European and North American shipments of oil and LNG to Asia. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 12% of the world’s oil and 8% of the global supply of LNG travels through the Red Sea. The attacks are forcing shippers either to re-route or suspend shipments. Reuters reported earlier in the week that the chartering cost of a very-large crude carrier (VLCC) capable of transporting 2 million barrels of oil has risen from $8 million to $10 million, adding $1.00 per barrel. That drives the price of WTI crude higher than similar grades of crude from Middle Eastern producers like the UAE. One Singapore-based oil trader told Reuters that “U.S. crude is no longer competitive in Asia.” Natural gas giants merge The Chesapeake-Southwestern merger will create the nation’s second-largest natural gas producer. Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CHK) and Southwestern Energy Co. (NYSE: SWN) announced an agreement Thursday to complete an all-stock merger of the two natural gas producers. The deal’s total value is $7.4 billion, or $6.69 per share based on Chesapeake’s closing price of $77.18 on Wednesday. Southwestern shareholders will receive about 1 share of Chesapeake stock for every 12 Southwestern shares. Once the merger is completed, the combined company will have a market cap of around $24 billion and will get a new name. Chesapeake is the nation’s second-largest producer of natural gas (behind Exxon Mobil). The deal is expected to close in the second quarter. Southwestern shareholders did not like the deal, shaving about 2.5% from the share price after Thursday’s announcement. Chesapeake’s shareholders believe they’re getting a good deal (the premium to Southwestern’s share price was about 4.5%), and the stock rose by more than 3% Thursday. Once the deal is done, the new company has a reasonable chance of being included in the S&P 500. Briefly noted OPEC+ produced more oil in December, ahead of a quota cut that begins this month. According to S&P Global Platts, OPEC+ countries produced 130,000 barrels a day more in December than in November. Even so, OPEC production was down by about 1 million barrels a day compared to December 2022. Deeper cuts from both OPEC’s 13 member nations and its 10 partners in OPEC+ are scheduled to begin in January. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK-B) increased its stake in Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) earlier this week. Berkshire Hathaway now owns about 34% of Oxy’s outstanding common stock. Reuters reported Friday morning that China’s crude oil imports reached a record 11.28 million barrels a day in 2023, up 11% year over year. Natural gas imports rose by 9.9% to nearly 120 million tons, second only to the amount imported in 2021.

Equities traded about by about a third to a half a point in Friday’s premarket session. The surprising increase in the inflation data, combined with more hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve governors, kept stocks defensive. However, the prominent technology leaders helped keep a bid under the market. With fourth-quarter earnings ready to start in earnest, all eyes will be on the results. Bonds U.S. Treasuries traded about flat early Friday morning. Despite the surprising inflation report, Treasury yields finished the day flat across the curve. This all came after the December numbers represented the most significant monthly change in the index since last September. The 10-year note closed at 3.97%, while the two-year was last seen at 4.26%. Commodities Precious metals traded up about 2% on Friday morning. Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude finished higher and could be going much higher after U.S. Military strikes in Yemen targeting Houthi militants could increase the dangers in the region.

With the December inflation data slightly above expectations and significant bank earnings kicking off the fourth-quarter earnings reports this week, all eyes will be only on the results but also the forward commentary, as many feel the consumer is tapped out and spending could fall off a cliff. Bonds Two-year and 10-year Treasury notes traded lower early Thursday. Treasury yields were mixed across the curve as bond traders held fire, waiting to see how the inflation picture was trending. While many continue to make the case that rate cuts could come as soon as March, New York Federal Reserve President John William threw cold water on that possibility, saying in a speech Wednesday, “I expect that we will need to maintain a restrictive stance of policy for some time to achieve our goals fully.” The 10-year note closed trading at 4.03%, while the two-year paper was at 4.36%. Commodities Natural gas producers Chesapeake and Southwestern announce merger. After a strong move higher recently, both Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude both closed lower on Wednesday, after some large inventory builds offset concerns over the Middle East war expansion. Brent finished the session down over 1% at $76.81, while WTI closed at $71.37, down 1.2%. Natural gas was the loser, closing 4.73% at $3.04. Gold closed Wednesday modestly higher, with the February contract finishing the session at $2,034.40. The song remains the same, with significant central bank buying and geopolitical concerns keeping the wind in the sails of the bullion. Bitcoin was higher by 1% as the Securities and Exchange Commission finally gave the green light to exchange-traded funds for the cryptocurrency, which many feel could increase prices. Earlier Thursday morning, Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK) and Southwestern Energy Co. (NYSE: SWN) agreed to an all-stock merger valued at $7.4 billion. Chesapeake shareholders will own 60% of the combined company. The company will get a new name. (These five excellent dividend stocks have yields over 10%.) Here are the top Wall Street analyst upgrades, downgrades and other calls for Thursday, January 11, 2024. Upgrades Here are the top four upgrades announced on Thursday morning. American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $18 at Jefferies. Chewy Inc. (NYSE: CHWY) from Equal Weight to Overweight at Barclays, which also increased its $19 price target to $30. Mastercard Inc. (NYSE: MA) from Perform to Outperform with a price target of $510 at Oppenheimer. Salesforce Inc. (NYSE: CRM) from Neutral to Outperform, and a $240 price target raised to $300, at Robert W. Baird. Downgrades Parent of Taco Bell and Pizza Hut takes a downgrade Thursday. Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB) from Buy to Hold with the price target lowered from $155 to $135 at Deutsche Bank. Blackstone Inc.

Costco Wholesale Corp (COST) Stock News & Articles - 24/7 Wall St. Insightful Analysis and Commentary for U.S. and Global Equity Investors Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:57:18 +0000 en-US hourly 1 3 Top Retail Stocks: Buy, Sell or Hold? Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:00:50 +0000 The post 3 Top Retail Stocks: Buy, Sell or Hold? appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. Three retail heavyweights sit at very different points on the risk/reward map right now. Walmart (NYSE:WMT) at $109.47 looks fully valued, Costco (NASDAQ:COST) at $935.03 screens richly priced, and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) at $332.98 screens as the most attractive risk/reward. University of Michigan consumer sentiment just printed 44.8, well inside recessionary territory, which frames every verdict below. Walmart: Elite Execution, Uncomfortable Multiple Walmart is down 1.35% year to date and 8.01% over the past month, lagging a broader market that has kept grinding higher. Q1 FY27 revenue rose 6.08% to $175.68 billion, adjusted EPS came in at $0.66, global ecommerce grew 26%, and advertising jumped 37%. CEO John Furner credited “better shopping experiences, a broader assortment, and faster delivery.” The catch is valuation. WMT trades at roughly 39x trailing earnings with a 0.86% dividend yield. The Street sees upside to a $138.27 target, with 37 Buy, 5 Hold, and 1 Sell ratings, but insiders are net sellers and Q1 free cash flow turned negative at -$1.95 billion as capex climbed 34%. Treat targets as one data point among many. At $109.47, Walmart’s setup argues for patience. Here is why. The flywheel of ads, marketplace, and membership is best-in-class, but paying 39x for a low-single-digit revenue grower leaves little margin for error. A retest of the $94.85 52-week low would open a cleaner entry. Watch capex intensity and marketplace margin conversion into next quarter. Costco: Best-in-Class, Priced Like It Costco is up 8.91% YTD and roughly flat over the past year. Q3 FY26 delivered $70.53 billion in revenue (up 11.58%), EPS of $4.93, reported comps of 9.8%, and a worldwide renewal rate of 89.7%. Digitally-enabled comps grew 21.5%. Analysts carry a $1,076.91 consensus target with 22 Buy, 13 Hold, and 2 Sell ratings. The friction point is a P/E near 47x, which already prices in most of the operational excellence. Composite sentiment sits at a neutral 54.09, and insider activity skews to selling. At $935.03, Costco’s risk/reward looks balanced at best. Here is why. Membership renewal, warehouse expansion toward 940 locations, and Kirkland pricing power remain unmatched, but forward returns compress when you pay this multiple for high-single-digit comps. A pullback closer to $850 would strengthen the case; today’s setup favors patience over accumulation. Home Depot: Housing Pain Looks Priced In Home Depot has been the laggard, down 1.83% YTD and 8.36% over the past year. Q4 FY25 adjusted EPS of $2.72 beat consensus by 7.94%, comparable sales edged up 0.4%, and average ticket rose 2.4%. FY25 revenue reached $164.68 billion, with over 1,250 SRS locations now integrated. HD trades at roughly 23x earnings with a 2.76% dividend yield backed by the 156th consecutive quarterly payout. The consensus target sits at $370.34, implying roughly 12% upside, split 21 Buy and 15 Hold with zero Sell ratings. Insiders are net buyers, a rare positive signal across this group. At $332.98, Home Depot screens as the most attractive of the three. Here is why. Consumer sentiment at 44.8, elevated mortgage rates, and weak big-ticket demand are already reflected in the compressed multiple and the $286.95 52-week low. When housing turnover normalizes, the pro channel via SRS and GMS plus deferred remodel demand should drive operating leverage on a base that already grew FY25 sales 3.24%. The invalidation is a deeper housing recession that pushes FY26 EPS below the flat-to-4% guide. With insider buying, a growing dividend, and the cleanest valuation of the three, the reward-to-risk here looks the most attractive.

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 16:30:04 +0000 The post DGRO’s December Rebalance Could Reshape Healthcare Exposure: Here’s What to Watch appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) trades near $77, up 11% YTD with narrow dividend-growth mandate. DGRO's performance hinges critically on 10-year Treasury yields; current 4.62% rate creates headwinds for dividend stocks. December 2026 index rebalance could reshape DGRO's healthcare-versus-financials exposure, particularly if Johnson & Johnson's weighting increases. The iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:DGRO) trades near $77, up roughly 11% year to date year-to-date. The fund’s growth-focused screen has favored quality compounders, but investors chasing headline yield have found more juice in higher-yielding peers like SCHD. DGRO’s mandate is narrow. It tracks the Morningstar US Dividend Growth Index, which requires at least five years of uninterrupted dividend growth, excludes the top 10% of yielders, and screens out any company with a payout ratio above 75%. That yield-trap filter is what separates DGRO from SCHD and explains why the fund tilts toward large-cap compounders across 399 positions, with financials, tech, healthcare, and staples doing most of the work. The Macro Factor That Matters Most: The 10-Year Treasury Yield The single biggest swing factor for DGRO over the next 12 months is the 10-year Treasury yield, which sits at 4.62%, just below its 12-month high of 4.67%. On a percentile basis, current yields rank in the 99th percentile of the past year. That is the definition of a headwind for dividend-growth equities. Coca-Cola, a top-10 holding, yields roughly 2.5%. McDonald’s yields under 3%. Investors buying DGRO for income are collecting less than they would from a risk-free 10-year note, so the fund only makes sense if the dividends grow meaningfully. When Treasuries drift higher, the math gets worse, and MCD’s roughly 11% YTD decline is a live example. Watch two things: the CME FedWatch tool for rate-cut probabilities, and each 10-year auction (results are on TreasuryDirect the same day). The Fed has held the funds rate at 3.75% for seven months. If the 10-year cracks below 4.25% on softer inflation data, expect DGRO’s staples and healthcare sleeves to catch a bid quickly. If it pushes through 4.75%, the opposite. The Fund-Specific Signal: The December Rebalance DGRO’s index rebalances semi-annually in June and December, and the mechanics are worth understanding. The April 30, 2026 holdings snapshot shows something telling: Johnson & Johnson does not appear in the top positions despite being a Dividend King with 64 consecutive years of hikes. Meanwhile, JNJ has quietly surged roughly 66% over the past year. If JNJ’s weighting is reset higher at the December reconstitution, that alone can shift the fund’s yield and growth profile. The rebalance also polices the 75% payout-ratio cap. Any name whose payout ratio breaches the ceiling gets cut. Check iShares’ holdings page in mid-December: names dropped or added by more than 50 basis points are your signal for how DGRO’s factor exposure has shifted. What to Watch The single most important macro signal is the 10-year Treasury yield breaking meaningfully below 4.25% or above 4.75%. The single most important fund signal is the December 2026 index rebalance and whether JNJ’s weight is restored, since that one holding materially changes the healthcare-versus-financials balance of the portfolio for the next six months. The post DGRO’s December Rebalance Could Reshape Healthcare Exposure: Here’s What to Watch appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..]]> SPYI Investors: Watch These 2 Macro Factors Before the Next Distribution Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:10:54 +0000 Costco, Johnson & Johnson, and Altria dividends provide a backstop, but falling volatility combined with 4.6% Treasury yields threatens SPYI's yield advantage. The NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (NYSEARCA:SPYI) has quietly delivered a total return that undersells the story: SPYI is up 8% year to date and 19% over the past year, trailing the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY)’s 20% one-year gain by a narrower margin than most covered-call funds. Investors own SPYI for the roughly 12% annualized distribution, and with the fund’s net assets at $6.9 billion and a 0.68% expense ratio, the question over the next 12 months is whether the income engine can keep humming as volatility compresses. How SPYI Actually Makes Its Money SPYI holds S&P 500 constituents (large-cap defensives like Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Altria, Costco, and Fastenal sit alongside every other name in the index) and sells SPX index call options against the portfolio to harvest premium. That premium, paid out as return-of-capital-style monthly distributions, is where the yield comes from. The underlying dividends help, but option income is the real fuel. Right now that fuel is thinning. The VIX is sitting near 17, below the trailing 12-month average of about 18 and a long way from this spring’s peak near 31. Lower VIX means cheaper calls, which means less premium for SPYI to collect. The Macro Factor: The VIX Regime and 10-Year Yield Combo The single macro variable to track is the VIX, watched weekly on the CBOE feed or FRED’s VIXCLS series. A sustained move below 15 would be a warning: SPYI’s distribution is calibrated to a mid-teens volatility environment, and every point the VIX loses translates into thinner call premiums on the next monthly roll. A move back above 20 does the opposite, refilling the premium tank. Layered on top is the 10-year Treasury, now near 4.6%, sitting in the 99th percentile of its 12-month range. A risk-free 4.62% is direct competition for SPYI’s yield. If yields keep drifting toward this spring’s high near 4.7% without a corresponding VIX pickup, the fund’s income advantage narrows. Watch the CME FedWatch tool around each FOMC meeting: a genuine cutting cycle would lift equity multiples and typically compress volatility further, a mixed signal for SPYI holders. The Fund-Specific Factor: Distribution Composition on the Next Roll The fund-specific signal is whether SPYI can maintain its monthly payout without eroding NAV. During the March-April 2026 stress period, elevated premiums subsidized the distribution. Since May, that subsidy has faded. If the distribution stays near 12% annualized while realized option income drops, NEOS will be paying it out of principal, and the NAV will start to bleed. Investors can check the monthly distribution notice on the NEOS Funds site (Section 19a) for the return-of-capital breakdown. The dividend backstop matters here. Costco raised its quarterly payout to $1.47, Johnson & Johnson bumped to $1.34, and Altria’s 5.9% yield alongside Coca-Cola’s $0.53 quarterly keep the underlying cash flow steady. Investors focused purely on price appreciation with lower income needs may prefer straight SPY exposure, where the one-year gap of roughly 2 percentage points compounds meaningfully over time. What To Watch Next If the VIX stays anchored between 15 and 18 into the fall, expect SPYI’s next few distribution notices to lean more heavily on return of capital, and watch the September FOMC decision for any shift that could jolt volatility back above 20. A sustained VIX print under 15 paired with a 10-year yield holding above 4.5% is the combination that would materially weaken this fund’s proposition.

The clock is ticking on two of the most recognizable dividend payers on the Nasdaq. Both Coca-Cola Consolidated (NASDAQ:COKE) and Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) go ex-dividend on the same day, Friday, July 24, 2026, with both payments landing in shareholder accounts on August 7, 2026. To capture either check, shares must be owned before the ex-date, which means the last practical day to buy is Thursday, July 23, 2026. The mechanics matter here. The ex-dividend date is the cutoff: buy on or after July 24 and the seller keeps this dividend, not you. The pay date is simply when cash hits your account. Miss the ex-date, and there is no catching up until the next quarterly cycle. Coca-Cola Consolidated (NASDAQ: COKE) Coca-Cola Consolidated is the largest independent Coca-Cola bottler in the United States, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It operates as an independent bottler distinct from The Coca-Cola Company. The indicated annual dividend runs $1.00, and the current dividend yield sits at roughly 0.56%. To be in for this payment, purchase shares by the close on Thursday, July 23, 2026. Coverage is not in question. Against trailing EPS of $7.26 and FY2025 EPS of $7.98, a $1.00 annual payout leaves an enormous cushion. FY2025 operating cash flow was $931.9 million against capex of $312.3 million, producing free cash flow of $619.6 million, far more than needed to fund the regular dividend. Q1 FY2026 revenue of $1.847 billion rose 16.9% year over year, though adjusted gross margin slipped 70 basis points to 39.1% on roughly $35 million of incremental aluminum costs tied to tariffs and supply. The caveat is the modest yield and lumpy capital-return history. COKE has paid special dividends in the past (a $16.50 distribution ex-January 2024, and $2.50 payments during late 2024 and early 2025), so the regular $0.25 cadence understates total cash returned over time. The stock is up over 60% in the past year and trades at a trailing PE of 24, so while the regular dividend doesn’t look huge – there’s a lot to like about the underlying company. Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) Costco is the membership warehouse operator investors either already own or wish they did. The company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $1.47 per share, with an ex-dividend date of July 24, 2026 and a payment date of August 7, 2026. The indicated annual dividend is $5.88, and the trailing yield reads roughly 0.58%. Again, the last day to buy and still receive this payment is Thursday, July 23, 2026. The regular quarterly rate stepped up from $1.30 earlier this year to the current $1.47, continuing a multi-year pattern of annual raises. Coverage looks pristine on the EPS base. Trailing EPS sits at $19.82, and FY2025 EPS was $18.21 on net income of $8.10 billion. FY2025 operating cash flow of $13.34 billion and free cash flow of $7.84 billion comfortably fund the $5.88 annual payout with room for continued warehouse expansion (heading toward roughly 942 warehouses by fiscal year-end) and buybacks. Q3 FY2026 revenue reached $70.53 billion, up 11.6% year over year, with comparable sales up 9.8% and the worldwide membership renewal rate at 89.7%. Recurring membership fees of $1.37 billion that quarter act as a nearly bond-like source of cash to backstop the dividend. The real risk is valuation. COST carries a trailing PE of 47 and a forward PE of 41, so investors are paying up for the compounding story. The stock is down 4% over the past week, though still up over 6% year to date. Costco also occasionally pays large special dividends (the last was $15.00 in December 2023), which functions as an occasional bonus on top of the regular payout. For income-focused readers weighing companion ideas, our research on 10 Dividend Kings to Buy Now and Hold Forever pairs naturally with a blue-chip cadence like this. The Bottom Line Both COKE and COST are quality names first and dividend payers second, with yields modest enough that a single quarterly payment is a side benefit rather than a thesis. That said, if these were already on a watch list, the calendar has now made the decision concrete. The ex-dividend date for both is July 24, 2026, and shares must be owned before then to receive the August 7 payment. After Thursday’s close, this cycle is gone until the next declaration.

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 23:56:19 +0000 The post XNTK vs. QQQ: Does a 35-Stock Tech ETF Beat Just Buying the Nasdaq-100? appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. The SPDR NYSE Technology ETF (NYSEARCA:XNTK) and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) look like two flavors of the same trade. Both live near the front of the AI rally. Both charge institutional-grade fees. Yet XNTK has returned 51.65% over the past year against QQQ’s 28.43%, and 808.69% over ten years against QQQ’s 536.62%. A 35-stock equal-weight portfolio is beating the Nasdaq-100 badly. The reason matters more than the gap. What Each Fund Is Actually Betting On QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 and lets market cap decide everything. When Apple grows, its weight grows. When NVIDIA melts up, so does its slice. That mechanic is a bet on mega-cap dominance persisting: the biggest names keep compounding faster than the rest of the index. It also means QQQ carries meaningful non-tech exposure. Costco (NASDAQ:COST) is classified as Consumer Defensive, not technology, and sits inside QQQ alongside healthcare and staples names. XNTK tracks the NYSE Technology Index: roughly 35 US-listed tech leaders, equal-dollar-weighted and rebalanced quarterly. That structure is two bets stacked. First, pure tech only, no consumer or healthcare drag. Second, breadth over dominance. A mid-tier holding matters as much as the largest holding, and every rebalance trims winners and adds to laggards. In an environment where AI leadership rotates across semis, software, and hyperscalers, that reset has captured more of the move than cap-weighting has. Where The Divergence Shows Up The AI beneficiaries prove the point. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) sits at a $5.1 trillion market cap and has run 929% over five years. QQQ owns it heavily by design. XNTK owns it at roughly the same weight as everything else, and pairs it with Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), up 775.99% over five years, and Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR), up 503.15%. Equal-weighting gives those winners real portfolio impact. The trade-off shows in stress. During 2022, XNTK fell 41.78% while QQQ dropped 33.71%. Concentrated tech gets hit harder when rates spike. And single names can still hurt XNTK: Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is down 21.69% over the past year even as most of tech surged. The Practical Comparison Metric XNTK QQQ Expense ratio 0.35% ~0.20% (industry standard) Holdings ~35, equal-weight ~100, cap-weight YTD 2026 return +28.94% +15.86% 2022 drawdown -41.78% -33.71% Forward annual dividend $0.81 $3.25 QQQ costs less, distributes more income, and includes ballast from names like Costco that soften pure-tech shocks. XNTK costs more, yields almost nothing, and delivers a purer, more concentrated tech bet with a forced quarterly rebalance. The Verdict XNTK fits an investor who already believes tech will keep leading, wants that thesis expressed cleanly, and can stomach a deeper 2022-style drawdown when tech breaks. The equal-weight reset is the real edge: it monetizes rotation inside tech instead of letting one or two mega-caps dictate returns. QQQ fits an investor who wants low-cost exposure to the largest Nasdaq names with some non-tech diversification and better tax and income characteristics. If leadership narrows back to a handful of trillion-dollar names, QQQ’s cap-weight will start winning again. Until then, XNTK’s structure is doing more work.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq exploded higher, closing up 2.07% at 25,820, while the S&P 500 also saw strength, closing the session at 7,440, higher by 1.18%. The venerable Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high of 52,182, up 059% on the day, with a nice move higher from new member Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL). Positive news on the Iran war, with negotiators meeting today in Qatar, and an announced end to hostilities between the two nations, was the backdrop for a very solid day for stocks. We could see more fireworks before the weekend 4th of July fireworks, as end-of-quarter reallocations and window dressing could skew volatility and trading volume higher. Treasury Bonds: Yields were mixed across the Treasury curve on Monday, as some light buying came in on the long end, while there was selling across the belly and shorter maturities. Traders will continue to watch the situation in Iran. They will also be waiting for the May employment numbers scheduled for Thursday, as the markets are closed for the Federal 4th of July holiday on Friday. The 30-year-long bond finished the day at 4.86%, while the 10-year note was last seen at 4.37%.  Oil and Gas: After last week’s sizable sell-off, the energy complex attracted some buyers on Monday, as lower prices enticed accumulation at current levels. Brent Crude closed the day at $72.89, up 1.2%, while West Texas Intermediate finished the day at $70.39, up 1.82%. Natural gas, which has been strong recently, closed lower for the second straight session, down 3.26% at $3.17. The lower close was likely profit-taking, as the outlook for the commodity remains bullish.  Gold: After a nice move higher last week, Gold stumbled on Monday, closing down by 1.8% at $4,014, while Silver also closed lower, finishing the day at $58.13, down 1.56%. This comes as TD Securities’ head of commodity research, Bart Melek, predicted that gold will fall to $3,900 before rising to $5,300 by the end of 2026. He cited continued inflationary pressure as the main reason for the positive outlook.  Crypto: Bitcoin continued to consolidate in the $59,000–$60,500 zone yesterday, and pushed toward $60,158 intraday before trading in the $60,150–$60,370 range late Monday afternoon. The modest gains of roughly +1% over the past 24 hours came amid low volatility and sideways trading. Ethereum hovered near $1,590–$1,620 during the day, with a slight recovery from earlier in the session. Sentiment remains neutral-to-cautious on the crypto sector, and on Monday, many altcoins saw more decliners than gainers, with broader crypto markets reflecting risk-off flows tied to macro factors, such as the stronger U.S. dollar and interest rate expectations. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin was trading at $59,210. At the same time, Ethereum was quoted at $1,582. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports every day to identify fresh investment ideas for investors and traders alike.

Here Are Thursday’s Top Wall Street Analyst Research Calls: Alphabet, Coinbase Global, Digital Realty Trust, Intuit, Reddit, Roku, Tyler Technologies, and More]]> The post Here Are Thursday’s Top Wall Street Analyst Research Calls: Alphabet, Coinbase Global, Digital Realty Trust, Intuit, Reddit, Roku, Tyler Technologies, and More appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. Pre-Market Stock Futures: The futures are trading lower on Thursday after investors and traders tapped the brakes on the 2026 new year rally, as only the Nasdaq was able to grind out another gain, finishing the session at 23,584, up 0.16. After exploding higher to print new all-time highs on Tuesday, both the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P 500 ended the day lower, with the former down 0.94% to close at 48.996 as Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) was hammered to the tune of 4.25%, and the latter down just 0.34% to finish the day at 6,920. Needless to say, after a sprint out of the box to start the year, we could be seeing some short-term traders scalping profits, but it’s also possible investors were selling losers and winners from 2025 this year to book gains or losses in 2026. With the non-farm payrolls for December released on Friday morning, some could be taking capital off the table ahead of the report, following a lackluster year in 2025 for job growth and a poor ADP employment report. Treasury Bonds: Yields were mainly lower across the Treasury curve on Wednesday as buyers continued to snap up many intermediate- and longer-dated government bonds. Traders cited the weaker-than-expected ADP employment data, which showed a gain of 41,000 jobs versus expectations of 48,000. In addition, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report indicated that job openings fell more than expected, reaching their lowest level in over a year. This is the kind of data that could spur more interest rate cuts in 2026. The 30-year Treasury long bond closed at 4.82% while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at 4.14%. Oil and Gas: Crude oil prices were lower across the energy complex on Wednesday, but the extreme pressure seen earlier in the week abated somewhat. Brent Crude finished trading on Wednesday at $60.31, down 0.64%, while West Texas Intermediate finished down 1.42% at $56.32. Concerns about oversupply continue to pose headwinds for the sector. Still, one positive for the day came when it was reported that four key Opec+ producers have pledged to deepen their production cuts in the first half of 2026, as the organization looks to improve quota compliance among its members. One bright spot for the day was natural gas rallying 6.48% to finish at $3.57.  Gold: For the first time in the new year, Gold and Silver finished lower on the day, and the likely reason was old-fashioned profit-taking after a massive rally in both precious metals over the last year. Last year, gold posted its biggest gains since 1979, and while the base for continued moves higher is in place for both gold and silver, traders are expecting near-term volatility. The final gold quote was $4,452, down 0.92%, while silver was quoted at $78.13, down 3.78%.  Crypto: Crypto trading on Wednesday saw a downturn, with Bitcoin falling below $92,000 and pulling major altcoins down, extending earlier losses as traders digest new U.S. labor data and geopolitical risks, leading to increased risk-off sentiment and significant liquidations in leveraged futures, mainly affecting coins like XRP and Ethereum. At 8A EST, Bitcoin traded at $89.830, while Ethereum traded at $3,091. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports daily to identify new investment ideas for both investors and traders.

Here’s Who’s Best Positioned. Tue, 06 Jan 2026 12:09:38 +0000 ... 4 Office Products Stocks Are Fighting Remote Work. Here’s Who’s Best Positioned.]]> The post 4 Office Products Stocks Are Fighting Remote Work. Here’s Who’s Best Positioned. appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. The office products industry faces relentless headwinds as remote work, digitization, and shifting workplace habits erode demand for traditional supplies. Some companies are fighting back with strategic pivots, cost discipline, and acquisitions to unlock value in adjacent markets. ACCO Brands (NYSE:ACCO) just acquired premium headset maker EPOS for $11.7 million. We examined ACCO alongside peers navigating similar challenges to see who’s positioned to benefit from operational transformation in a declining category. Four Companies Fighting the Office Products Downturn ACCO Brands (NYSE:ACCO) ACCO Brands manufactures staplers, binders, whiteboards, and computer accessories under brands like Swingline, Mead, and Kensington. The company generates $1.54 billion in annual revenue but saw sales contract 8.8% year over year in its most recent quarter. ACCO is betting on cost cuts and strategic acquisitions to stabilize margins and diversify beyond declining stationery sales. Newell Brands (NASDAQ:NWL) Newell Brands (NASDAQ:NWL) operates a portfolio spanning office products (Sharpie, Paper Mate), home goods (Rubbermaid), and outdoor gear (Coleman). The company has been divesting non-core assets and focusing on higher-margin consumer categories. Office products remain part of the mix, but Newell’s exposure is diluted across multiple segments. Logitech International (NASDAQ:LOGI) Logitech International (NASDAQ:LOGI) designs computer peripherals including mice, keyboards, webcams, and headsets. Unlike traditional office suppliers, Logitech benefits from hybrid work trends driving demand for home office technology. The company reported strong growth in video collaboration products and gaming accessories, positioning it differently from paper-based competitors. HNI Corporation (NYSE:HNI) HNI Corporation (NYSE:HNI) manufactures office furniture and hearth products. While not a direct office supplies competitor, HNI faces similar workplace transformation pressures. The company has focused on flexible workspace solutions and contract furniture for corporate clients adapting to hybrid models. How Their Businesses Compare ACCO’s EPOS acquisition expands its Kensington accessories line into the $1.7 billion premium enterprise headset market. Management projects $10 million to $15 million in cost synergies over two years, substantial relative to the $11.7 million purchase price. The deal closes in January 2026 and is expected to boost profitability despite ongoing revenue headwinds. ACCO also operates a $100 million cost reduction program aimed at protecting margins as core stationery demand weakens. Logitech holds the strongest position among these companies. Its product mix aligns with remote and hybrid work trends rather than fighting against them. Video conferencing equipment, wireless peripherals, and gaming accessories all benefit from the shift away from traditional offices. Logitech’s business is growing while ACCO’s contracts. Newell Brands has partially insulated itself through diversification. Office products represent only a portion of revenue, with home essentials and outdoor categories providing stability. However, this diversification means Newell lacks the focused operational leverage that a pure-play turnaround could deliver. HNI faces workspace transformation challenges similar to ACCO’s but operates in furniture rather than supplies. The company benefits from corporate spending on office redesigns for hybrid work, though furniture cycles are longer and more capital-intensive than consumable office products. What Management Is Saying ACCO’s December 2025 acquisition announcement stated: “This strategic move aims to diversify ACCO’s offerings and capitalize on a $1.7 billion global market, with anticipated cost synergies of $10 million to $15 million over the next two years.” The company added: “The acquisition is expected to moderately boost profit in 2026, despite a forecasted revenue decline for ACCO Brands in the current year.” An October 2025 analysis from Insider Monkey noted that “despite lower-than-expected sales in Q3 2025 due to soft global demand, the company projects improved sales trends in Q4, driven by technology accessories and favorable foreign exchange rates.” Management’s emphasis on cost discipline and technology accessories signals recognition that traditional office supplies won’t drive growth. The EPOS deal represents a concrete bet on premium workplace technology as the path forward. Who Actually Benefits Most Income investors seeking high yields benefit most from ACCO’s current situation. The stock offers an 8.13% dividend yield backed by 27 consecutive quarterly payments since 2018. The company trades at 0.52 times book value and 3.84 times forward earnings, creating a margin of safety for dividend sustainability even as revenue declines. Deep value investors also benefit from ACCO’s distressed valuation. Analyst targets average $6.00 versus the current $3.69 price, implying 63% upside if the turnaround gains traction. Institutional investors hold 84% of shares, suggesting sophisticated money managers see potential despite operational challenges. Logitech serves growth-oriented investors better. Its products align with secular trends rather than requiring a turnaround thesis. Newell and HNI offer more diversified exposure but lack the focused transformation story or extreme valuation discount that defines ACCO’s appeal. The Bottom Line ACCO Brands benefits contrarian income investors willing to accept operational risk for an 8% yield and potential mean reversion. The EPOS acquisition and cost discipline provide tangible catalysts, but the core business remains challenged. Logitech offers cleaner growth exposure, while ACCO presents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity for those betting on stabilization in a distressed sector.

Wall Street Analysts Just Upgraded These Hot Stocks: UBER, LOGI, DASH, APLS]]> The post Wall Street Analysts Just Upgraded These Hot Stocks: UBER, LOGI, DASH, APLS appeared first on 24/7 Wall St.. U.S. stocks pared early gains on Wednesday, with the Dow slipping despite robust bank earnings from Bank of America and Morgan Stanley, fueled by trading windfalls. The S&P 500 edged up 0.21% to 6,658.43, while the Nasdaq surged 0.39% to 22,608.73, propelled by AI chip leaders Nvidia, Intel, and AMD. A $40 billion BlackRock-led buyout of a major data-center firm underscored tech’s momentum. Uber  Analysts at Guggenheim just upgraded Uber (NYSE: UBER) to a buy rating with a price target of $140 a share. “Our BUY thesis is underpinned by the company’s asset base consisting of industry-leading 1) network, 2) technology, and 3) brand equity. Uber’s multi-platform network is >3x that of next ‘Gig’ peer, with reach positioning the Rideshare leader for increased Autonomous Vehicle (AV) adoption,” said the firm, as quoted by CNBC. Last trading at $94.25 as of Tuesday’s close, we’d like to see the ride-sharing stock initially retest its recent high of $100.18 a share. Logitech  An improving environment for peripherals is creating a buy opportunity for Logitech (NASDAQ: LOGI), says Citi, as noted by CNBC. Analysts upgraded the LOGI stock to a “buy” rating from a “neutral” rating. “We’re upgrading LOGI to Buy from Neutral with a TP of $130 (ETR of ~25%),” said the firm. “Peripheral demand should benefit given positive PC data points with checks suggesting constructive Videoconferencing equipment demand amidst return to office, and strong gaming peripherals demand.” Last trading at $104.94, we’d like to see LOGI initially retest $115 a share. DoorDash  Shares of DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH) were just upgraded to an outperform rating by JPMorgan, which is bullish on DASH’s future following its acquisition of Deliveroo. “Following the acquisition, DoorDash now operates in 45 countries with a combined population of over a billion. It serves more than 700,000 local businesses and 50 million monthly active users, with Deliveroo having contributed around seven million,” noted CNBC. Apellis Pharmaceuticals  Wells Fargo just upgraded Apellis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: APLS) to an overweight rating, with a price target of $32 a share. The firm cited “stabilizing Syfovre sales and its confidence in Empaveli’s launch following a doctor survey for the upgrade. The shares could rally 15%-20% on Empaveli’s growth,” as highlighted by Tip Ranks.

As expected, the Federal Reserve paused the rate hikes that have come at every meeting for over a year now. While it may be the pause that refreshes, Fed Chair Powell stated that two more rate hikes were likely on the way later this year. While the consumer price index data this week was encouraging, the rate of inflation, especially at the core level, is still way above the benchmarks that the Fed has set. U.S. producer prices, reported Wednesday, jumped 1.1% over the last year, marking the 11th consecutive decline in the year-over-year rate of change and the lowest print since December 2020. The index peaked at 11.7% in March 2022. Treasury yields were down across the curve as bond traders seemingly were positioned to Buy after rates had crept back up to levels not seen since March. The Treasury Department will be hitting the market with a tsunami of inventory of all government maturities, which is estimated at a stunning $1 trillion as the country’s coffers need to be refilled. The 10-year paper closed the day down four basis points at 3.80%, while the two-year note closed at 4.69%, flat on the day. The inversion between the two still indicates a recession could be on the way. Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude had a weak day, with both closing down following Tuesday’s solid 3.5% gain. The tug-of-war over China demand still is the leading headline, along with slowing production, as the rig count has continued to fall on a weekly basis. Natural gas finished the day unchanged at $2.34. [nativounit] Gold continued its slow start to the week by closing lower at $1,955.70. Traders cited the drop in the producer price index and the general malaise around the bullion over the past month as the reason for the recent weakness. Bitcoin was hammered also on Wednesday, continuing a dreadful stretch that has been aided by worries over regulation. The cryptocurrency finished the day at $25,086, down over 3%. 24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week with a goal of finding fresh ideas for investors and traders alike.

The problem in calling the whole market expensive is that this a market full of many stocks and full of multiple sectors from which investors can pick and choose. It turns out that some parts of the market actually still look cheap in August of 2017. Value investors often look for companies trading below their book value, and one sector that has continued to offer stock prices under their book value is the financial sector. This includes money center banks, regional banks and insurance companies. Investors need to consider one issue about “value” when it comes to value investing. This is where beauty is solely in the eye of the beholder, and if a stock is considered “cheap” it is often cheap for a reason. Companies tied to business development or that were foreign based with American depositary shares were excluded from this review to avoid unknown and perhaps circumstantial issues. The minimum size of the financial institutions screened were listed as having market capitalizations north of $2 billion, they had to trade over 100,000 shares per day for liquidity purposes, and they had to be paying a dividend to show that they had that minimum financial health metric. Each group also had to be profitable. Please note that some of these stocks are only under book value to an August sell-off or due to other selling pressure in prior months. Some are also fighting over the systemically important financial institution (SIFI) status, which also means “too big to fail.” Again, “cheap” stocks often look cheap for a reason. [nativounit] The book value screens came from Finviz.com and from second-quarter earnings press releases. We have included trading data, corporate data, consensus analyst price targets and future valuations from Thomson Reuters, dividend yields and market caps. Please note that some dividend yields are the “current yields” rather than dividends that have been approved by the Federal Reserve but that have yet to be paid to shareholders. After all, anything can change until it formally takes place! Here are 12 mid-cap and large-cap financial sector stocks trading under the current stated book value as of August 2017. Ally Financial Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE: ALLY) is valued at 0.75 times its stated book value. The company announced recently that the Federal Reserve has released its Ally Bank from the capital, liquidity and business plan commitments that had been made in connection with its application for membership in the Federal Reserve System. This includes the commitment to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 15%. The company further noted that Ally Bank may now manage its capital and liquidity subject to applicable regulatory requirements and is expected to distribute a dividend of approximately $2.9 billion to Ally Financial during the third quarter of 2017. Ally Financial recently traded at $22.06 and has a 52-week trading range of $16.68 to $23.62. Its consensus analyst target price is $25.91, and its market cap is $9.9 billion. AIG American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) is valued at 0.77 times book value, and unlike some of the other financial players it has been in state of flux and reorganization since the Great Recession. Its core business focuses on insurance products for commercial, institutional and individual customers, and the AIG name is widely recognized around the world. Its dividend yield is over 2%. AIG was last seen at $61.22 and has a 52-week range of $57.35 to $67.47. Its consensus target price is $70.00, and its market cap is $55.3 billion. Capital One Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE: COF) is valued at 0.80 times book value, and the credit card issuer has had a hard time with some of its internal metrics, along with other companies seeing some soft internals on credit card payment metrics. That has depressed Capital One’s market valuations, and its dividend yield is close to 2%. All risks aside, this is still considered to be a well-managed credit card issuer, and while it has raised rewards, the bank holding company hasn’t gone as “rewards crazy” as other credit card issuers. Capital One traded at $81.44, in a 52-week range of $68.27 to $96.92. Its consensus target price is $95.57, and its market cap is $39.4 billion. [recirclink id=409664] Citizens Financial Citizens Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: CFG) is valued at 0.85 times book value, and the stock was last seen trading down more than 15% from its 52-week high, despite beating earnings expectations in July. This is the holding company for Citizens Bank, and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania for retail and commercial banking products and services in the eastern and midwestern United States. Its dividend yield is about 2.2%. Citizens Financial traded at $33.42, in a 52-week range of $23.37 to $39.75. Its consensus analyst target is $38.96. The market cap is $16.7 billion. Leucadia: The Mini-Buffett Stock Leucadia International Corp. (NYSE: LUK) screens out as being valued at 0.84 times book value. There was a debate on including this “miniature Berkshire Hathaway” due to real estate, car and motorcycle leases and dealerships, food, and oil and gas. Still, Leucadia owns the well-known Jefferies investment banking firm and this makes up a large part of its $8.6 billion market cap. Its dividend yield is about 1.6%. Leucadia was last seen at $24.00 and has a 52-week range of $17.87 to $27.34. Its consensus target price is $30.00. [recirclink id=407336] Citigroup Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) is valued at just 0.87 times book value, the lowest valuation of all money center banks. The banking giant still has many international operations and arguably could still sell off more assets. That being said, Citi was recently given approval by the Federal Reserve to increase its capital return plan for shareholders by a larger amount than Wall Street was expecting. Its current dividend yield is 1.21%, but that will go to almost 2% when its 16-cent payout goes as high as 32 cents. Citigroup traded at $66.85 and has a 52-week range of $45.16 to $69.86. Its consensus target price is $72.41, and its market cap is $182.1 billion. Prudential Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE: PRU) is valued at 0.90 times book value, and the insurer’s stock is still about 15% under its 52-week high. It comes with nearly a 3% dividend yield, and its stock has doubled in the past five years. The provider of life insurance, annuities, investment management and other financial products is also said to be trying to get out from under its “too big to fail” (SIFI) status as well. With a $43 billion market cap, it may seem like it is not too big to fail, but it dates back to the 1800s. As of 2017 it had $3.7 trillion worth of life insurance in force and over $1.3 trillion in assets under management. Prudential traded at $101.90, in a 52-week range of $76.37 to $115.26. Its consensus target price is $115.46. Its market cap is $43.5 billion. NYCB New York Community Bancorp Inc. (NYSE: NYCB) is valued at 0.94 times book value, and the bank now has about $48 billion in assets. The bank specified a continuing desire to manage its balance sheet below the current $50 billion SIFI threshold. The bank also has exposure to New York City taxi medallion loans, but its latest 17-cent dividend would imply a 5.7% yield that feels too high for a regional bank. It has also been hitting 52-week lows and is now down more than 30% from its 52-week high. The shares were last seen at $11.96, in a 52-week range of $11.86 to $17.68. The consensus target price is $13.48, and the market cap is $5.9 billion. Lincoln National Lincoln National Corp. (NYSE: LNC) is valued at 0.95 times book value, and the life insurance company has seen its shares sell off by more than 10% in the past month alone. Its dividend yield is currently just about 1.7%, and it is valued at less than nine times next year’s expected earnings. Lincoln National traded at $67.84 and has a 52-week range of $44.74 to $75.78. Its consensus target price is $78.27, and its market cap is $15.0 billion. Bank of America Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) has more or less remained under book value along with Citi in the money center banks. It is valued at 0.95 times book value, and its dividend yield is currently about 2.0%. With a $234 billion market cap, each basis point under book value represents $2.3 billion in discounting. Bank of America has remained under the Fed’s nose for a while longer than JPMorgan and Wells Fargo, and that has been why it has been at a relative discount. Bank of America traded at $23.83. It has a 52-week range of $14.81 to $25.80 and a consensus target price of $27.00. Umpqua Umpqua Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: UMPQ) is valued at 0.96 times book value and it is only under book value due to the sell-off seen in August. This is the parent company of Umpqua Bank, an Oregon-based community bank with more than $25 billion in total assets and almost $23.5 billion in tangible assets. Its market value of $3.8 billion comes with a 3.7% yield. Its shares are also down more than 10% from its 52-week high. Umpqua was last seen at $17.30, and it has a 52-week range of $14.78 to $19.50. The consensus target price is $19.68. [recirclink id=404123] FNB FNB Corp. (NYSE: FNB) is valued at 0.97 times book value, but that discount is only because its shares are down 22% from its 52-week high and it was a $16 stock back in March. Its stated book value discount is also a bit different than some other regional banks because it is valued at more than twice tangible book value. The bank’s average loans of $20.4 billion were up $4.2 billion (by over 25%), and the average deposits of $21.2 billion were up $4 billion (about 23.5%) due to its acquired Yadkin balances and organic loan growth. While this screens out as a regional bank with total assets of $31 billion with over 400 regional bank offices, FNB also has wealth management services for asset management, private banking and insurance. FNB has a yield of about 3.7%. Its shares traded at $12.89, in a 52-week range of $11.86 to $16.43. Its consensus target price is $16.78, and its market cap is $4.2 billion.

Just the opposite happened, and while there was insider selling, the buyers dominated our screens as they dominated the action. That is a very positive overall sign for the markets in general, given the bearishness that has been present for months. We cover insider buying every week at 24/7 Wall St., and we like to remind readers that while insider buying is usually a very positive sign, it is not in of itself a reason to run out and buy a stock. Sometimes insiders and 10% owners have stock purchase plans set up at intervals to add to their holdings. That aside, it still remains a positive indicator. Here are some of the companies that reported notable insider buying this week. Seattle Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ: SGEN) had one of the biggest biopharmaceutical funds buying even more shares of the stock this past week. The Baker Brothers added a total of 1,349,237 shares at prices between $31.77 and $33.77 per share. The total for that buy was a very impressive $43 million. Earlier in the week, the company bought an additional 694,666 shares at prices between $32.03 and $33.10 at a cost of $23 million. Seattle Genetics is a biotechnology company that develops and commercializes antibody-based therapies for the treatment of cancer. The stock closed Friday at $33.92. Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL) had a big name buyer last week. Microsoft founder Bill Gates’s Cascade Investments, which is a 10% owner of the company, bought a whopping 499.999 shares at prices that ranged from $104.59 to $105.43. The total for the purchase came to a huge $53 million. The company provides water, hygiene and energy technologies and services for customers worldwide. The stock closed trading on Friday at $108.14, so the timing looks good. [recirclink id=321327] Aquinox Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AQXP) is another company the Baker Brothers were buying this past week, and it was already a 10% holder of the shares. The fund picked up an additional 471,667 shares at between $7.98 and $8.00 apiece. The total for the trade came to $4 million. This clinical-stage pharmaceutical company engages in discovering and developing targeted therapeutics for diseases in the areas of inflammation and immuno-oncology. It primarily focuses on anti-inflammatory product candidates targeting SHIP1, a key regulator of a cellular signaling pathway in immune cells. The stock ended last week at $8.32. Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: SRPT) saw three directors at the company purchasing shares this past week. The trio bought a total of 154,500 shares. Prices ranged from $14.54 to $16.54 per share, and the total for the trades came to $2.5 million. This biopharmaceutical company focuses on the discovery and development of RNA-based therapeutics for the treatment of rare, infectious and other diseases. Shares closed the day on Friday at $18.00, so again, well-timed buys. Itron Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI) had a 10% owner adding to a position this week. Scopia Capital bought a total of 82,234 shares of the stock at prices between $40.37 and $43.05. The total for the buy came to $3.5 million. The company provides metering solutions to electricity, gas and water utility markets worldwide. It offers standard electromechanical and electronic, gas and water and heat meters, as well as advanced and smart electricity, gas and water meters and communication modules. The stock ended on Friday at $42.26. These companies also reported insider buying this week: Flamel Technologies S.A. (NASDAQ: FLML), Flex Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: FLKS), Leucadia National Corp. (NYSE: LUK), Mosaic Co. (NYSE: MOS) and Tempur Sealy International Inc. (NYSE: TPX). Again, the strong buying into a big market rally can only be seen as a positive. While 2016 could again prove to be a volatile year, if insiders like their shares at this level, we could have a move higher as the spring rolls in.
