    Wall Street had another summer celebration on Wednesday, as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite once again set records. Most investors attributed the gains to a 4.2% rise in gross domestic product during the second quarter, which was slightly faster than the initial estimate on GDP had suggested last month. Yet even with a favorable attitude prevailing throughout most of the market, some stocks suffered setbacks. Movado Group (NYSE:MOV), Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU), and American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

    With AT&T (NYSE:T) closing its acquisition of media giant Time Warner last week, investors will be watching to see how well the telecom company can integrate Time Warner’s powerful content assets, including Warner Bros., HBO, CNN, TNT, and TBS, into its business. In theory, AT&T’s acquisition looks great. “Combine [these content assets] with AT&T’s strengths in direct-to-consumer distribution, and we offer customers a differentiated, high-quality, mobile-first entertainment experience,” explained AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson.

Top 5 Casino Stocks To Buy For 2019

Main Thesis

The purpose of this article is to articulate why I believe The Stars Group (NASDAQ:TSG) is an attractive investment option at its current market price. While there are multiple tailwinds on the horizon, the top story is a favorable Supreme Court ruling. This should pave the way for more states in the U.S. to allow online sport gambling, which TSG is uniquely poised to benefit from. Furthermore, TSG recently entered in to an agreement to acquire Sky Betting & Gaming (SBG), a British-based online gaming company. This acquisition will help firm up TSG’s prominence in one of the world’s largest regulated online gaming territories, the United Kingdom. Finally, TSG continues to earn more money year over year, and its reliance on poker is declining, which tells me the company is doing a great job diversifying its revenue base.

Background

First, a little about TSG. TSG is the owner of multiple gaming brands including PokerStars, PokerStars Casino, Full Tilt, Megastack, and BetStars (sports betting), among others, and, most recently, SBG, a British online gambling company. Therefore, TSG controls some of the biggest brands in online gaming. Currently, TSG is trading at $35.85/share and does not pay any dividend. My last review of TSG came in late February, when I strongly recommended to my readers to buy the stock. Since that time, TSG is up over 34%, which is very strong short-term performance. Even more impressive is that this gain came during a time period when the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500, was essentially flat. Given this out-performance, I wanted to reassess the stock to see if now was a good time to take profits, or if it still made sense to remain long. After a review, I continue to be a believer in the company’s long-term story, and I will explain why in detail below.

    Markets are cheering a major development in efforts to fix the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China. According to Reuters, Chinese telecom giant ZTE has signed an agreement to get back into business with its American partners. The agreement will lift a ban by the U.S. Commerce Department that prevented China’s No. 2 telecommunications equipment from buying from U.S. suppliers. This is a major development, and one that signals progress among trade officials from both nations. There are now more job openings in the United States than available workers. This is the first time that the Department of Labor has documented this phenomenon. There are 6.7 million openings compared to the 6.4 million workers available to fill those positions. As a result, U.S. companies have been forced to increase compensation in order to attract talent. All of the positive economic development could come to a screeching halt should the U.S. experience the largest labor strike in a decade. Reports indicate that the Teamsters and the United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) are on a collision course that could result in a general strike. The union has announced that 260,000 UPS employees have authorized a strike should both sides fail to reach a labor deal by August 1. UPS is responsible for the transport of 6% of the nation’s gross domestic product.

Macy’s And Micron Ignite A Rally – Cramer’s Mad Money (5/16/18)

Leave a reply

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Wednesday, May 16.

Can just two stocks ignite a rally? They can. Case in point – Macy’s (NYSE:M) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) on Wednesday. The market had been engulfed with macro news and tensions of rising oil prices, rising interest rates, US-China relations, North Korea. “In this situation, we can actually care about individual companies and what they have to tell us, provided that these companies are important enough to their sectors that they can give us tremendous pin action,” said Cramer.

Micron Technology was considered to be a commodity company in an industry with high competition. Micron was upgraded by RBC with an $80 price target. This led to pin action in the semiconductor group that led other semis to rally. “The semiconductors are a powerful leadership group, and today they took their rightful place at the front, all because of these Micron recommendations,” said Cramer.

The retail group was led by Macy’s, which reported better than expected earnings and lifted profit guidance. Just six days before the earnings, Morgan Stanley had downgraded the stock. CEO Jeff Gennette is leading an incredible turnaround. “Gennette did so much good here, like creating a team of merchants and technology experts that have melded brands with e-commerce and private label to produce some incredible results,” added Cramer. This led to pin action in other retail stocks.

The important thing to note is that both these stocks were under pressure as the street had given up on them and they ended up surprising the market.

CEO interview – PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL)

PayPal will hold its investor day next week. Cramer interviewed CFO John Rainey to find out what lies ahead.

Rainey said at the next investor meeting they will be talking about their separation from eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) and their capital allocation plans. Splitting with eBay was always on the cards and they represent 13% of PayPal’s business and will be an integral part of the platform.

PayPal’s strong cash flows allow them to acquire for growth and return capital to shareholders. Commenting on future growth, Rainey said that there are 2B people around the world without a bank account and 70% of them have mobiles. They would like to have accounts, loans and mortgages and this is a tremendous opportunity for PayPal.

PayPal was also one of the first companies to let merchants accept cryptocurrencies. “Because of the volatility of the cryptocurrencies, the merchants were seeing swings in crypto that threatened the viability of their businesses. If you’re a merchant and you have, let’s say, a 10% margin on a product that you sell and you accept bitcoin, for example, and the very next day it moves 15%, you’re now underwater on that transaction. So what happens, or what was happening, is they were immediately moving that to a more stable currency,” added Rainey.

Defense stocks

If someone liked defense stocks like Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) and Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) before the earnings, they should like them even more now. All these stocks reported good earnings but have lost momentum.

Lockheed Martin posted good earnings and guidance but fell after cash flow comments on the conference call. Northrop Grumman too reported good earnings and guidance but did not rise as much as expected. Lastly, Raytheon reported a modest earnings beat.

Cramer said defense stocks are being traded on daily headlines and hence peace talks with North Korea led to a selloff in defense stocks. Defense stocks should instead trade on military spending and with rising tensions in the Middle East, the governments across the globe are buying defense equipment. The weakness in these stocks is a buying opportunity.

CEO interview – Tableau (NYSE:DATA)

The stock of Tableau went up on Q1 revenue beat and analysts upgraded the stock. Cramer interviewed Adam Selipsky to hear what lies ahead for the company. Tableau is up 34% in 2018.

Selipsky said that users spend 80% of the time preparing the data and 20% analyzing it. Their new platform Tableau Prep flips the equation and uses smart algorithms to perform tasks like combining columns automatically so data can be prepared easily for analysis.

The company has partnered with Charles Schwab and about 50% of the company employees are using Tableau on a daily basis not just for financial planning, but other back office functions too. They also offer cloud services like deployment options, including on-premise and fully managed solutions to help companies transition to the cloud.

Top 5 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch For 2018

Leave a reply

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A) doesn’t pay a dividend, but the company and the stock both benefit greatly from owning shares of some of the best dividend aristocrats on the market.

CEO Warren Buffetthas told investors about the power of compounding interest for decades and referenced it in a 1964 letter to his partners.

At the time, he said an investment may start off paying just a few percentage points. For example, PepsiCo Inc. (NYSE: PEP) pays a dividend of $0.81 per share, which is a yield of 2.81%. If you bought $10,000 shares of PEP on May 1, 2016, and reinvested the dividends through a dividend reinvestment program (DRIP), your shares would have been worth $11,172 on May 1, 2017.

Top 5 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch For 2018: Macy's Inc(M)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    In my Trader column on Jan. 7, I wrote bullishly on Macy’s (M), arguing that despite dropping 14% that week it was making more headway in addressing its problems than its department-store peers.

    Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

    It hasn’t worked out so well: Through yesterday’s market close, Macy’s had dropped 5.2%. And about the only thing Macy’s has going for it now could be the possibility that someone takes it private, something that could be in the works, according to the New York Post’s Lisa Fickenscher, Josh Kosman and Claire Atkinson:

    Terry Lundgrens final weeks as chief executive of Macys are anything but peaceful.

    The veteran retail boss, who is stepping down as CEO later in the quarter, is trying to avoid an ugly board shakeup that could tarnish his 13-year legacy and turn the largest US department store into a battleground littered with discarded top brass, The Post has learned.

    Lundgren, who had not planned to cap his tenure with a sale, has recently become open to offers from potential friendly buyers as a proactive measure to head off any attempt to mess with the board, sources familiar with the situation said.

    Shares of Macy’s have jumped 6% to $30.98 at 12:33 p.m.–and my Macy’s trade is no longer a loser. Hooray?

    Macy’s (M) tumbled to the bottom of the S&P 500 today, one day after reports called into question a possible acquisition of the company by Hudson’s Bay.

    Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

    Macy’sdropped 2% to $30.32 today, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 2,385.26.

    In February, Hudson’s Bay was said to be interested in purchasing Macy’s. Analysts at the time warned that Macy’s might be too big to swallow, and reports suggest that Hudson’s Bay has decided to look elsewhere.

    Macy’s market capitalization fell to $9.2 billion today from $9.4 billion yesterday. It reported net income of $619 million on sales of $26 billion in fiscal 2017.

    Barron’s Vito Racanelli was bullish on Macy’s in a February feature, while I touted the company in a January column.

“When pigs fly” is a centuries old Scottish saying meaning something will never happen. Some are of the belief that currently Rite Aid (RAD) is a wounded and grounded pig that will never recover to fly again. Pigs have a hard time flying because they don’t have wings. However, almost all animals with wings do indeed fly, so therefore, if a pig had wings it could fly.

The most famous mythical winged animal of all is the flying horse known as Pegasus from Roman mythology. There is another flying mythical creature named Pigasus, the embodiment of a winged pig, first described by R. Thompson as a character in one of the Oz books, Pirates In Oz, written in the 1930s. Pigasus took to flight with riders who were magically compelled to speak in rhyming jingles. Just as Pigasus would fly riders to the sky, so will Rite Aid take to flight all those who are not frozen in fright to a greater height.
