Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD) is scheduled to release its fiscal first-quarter financial results before the markets open on Tuesday. The consensus estimates are $2.06 in earnings per share (EPS) on $25.22 billion in revenue. The same period of last year reportedly had EPS of $1.67 and $23.89 billion in revenue.

Back in April, Home Depot announced that it was hiring roughly 1,000 new technology professionals in 2018 at its primary technology centers in Atlanta, Austin and Dallas to support initiatives related to its $11.1 billion three-year strategic investment plan.

In December 2017, the company announced investments related to its store and online shopping experience, supply chain and delivery capabilities, and associate and workforce management systems. Many of these initiatives require advanced software engineering, system engineering, UX design and product management.

On the other hand, Home Depot’s health is largely tied to the real estate market. At this point, that market is strong in the United States, based on housing starts and home sales, both new and existing. Housing could be hit by higher interest rates. However, that is more likely to happen if the Federal Reserve raises rates later in the year.

We’ve talked in great length about areas like ridesharing, driverless autos and the “connected car.”

U.S. Treasury agents load boxes of files and records from New York nightclub Studio 54 into trucks to transfer to government offices, Thursday, Dec. 14, 1978. Co-owner of the nightclub Ian Schrager was arrested earlier today for cocaine possession during an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) search of the disco’s books. (AP Photo)

He loved the nightlife. He got to boogie. He just didn’t get around to paying his taxes. And for that, in 1980, Ian Schrager, a former co-owner of the storied Studio 54 disco, was sentenced to jail time following a conviction for federal tax evasion. This year, however, Schrager got a second chance when he was granted a presidential pardon.

The now 70-year old Schrager opened Studio 54 in 1977 with his partner (and fellow tax felon) Steve Rubell. Studio 54 became an instant hit with stars and wannabe stars who clamored to get in. Guests who made it beyond the famed velvet ropes included Elton John, Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Cher, David Bowie, and even President-elect Donald Trump.

    Matador has grown its reserves throughout the commodity cycle, as well as its production and cash flow. Haas also likes the company’s history of identifying and acquiring acreage early and cheaply. Much of the analyst’s positive outlook is derived from Matador’s successful monetization of midstream assets and pattern of reinvestment.

high yield investments: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.(GMCR)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Jonas Elmerraji]

    As badly as short sellers want to hate on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), betting against the multiyear rally in this $12.7 billion beverage stock has been about as wise as eating from a box with a skull and crossbones on it. And as a bull market continues to lift all ships, Green Mountain’s ship is going to keep floating above the others.

    Green Mountain owns Keurig, the brand of beverage brewers that use self-contained K-Cups to make coffee, teas, and other drinks. While Keurig’s “fad” status has certainly helped tip the deck against GMCR, the fact remains that the firm has done most of the hard work in getting Keurig machines accepted by consumers. With brewers essentially ubiquitous at this point, the firm is able to make money on its cash cow: the K-Cups.

    Keurig’s individual-serving cups have big margins and a big installed base. With huge convenience and the relatively large sunk cost that consumers have put into their Keurig machines, it’s a sticky business with big switching costs. Consumers who buy a Keurig are much less likely to spend the money on a competing brand of proprietary coffee pods.

    I’ve said before that GMCR is far from cheap right now. But its momentum trajectory is showing few signs of fizzling out, especially as direct competitors such as Starbucks (SBUX) continue to sell K-Cups of their own. Don’t bet against GMCR in September – buy this Rocket Stock instead.

    But for short sellers in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (Nasdaq: GMCR), there's another outcome: They've been badly burned as shares have surged, but they insist they've been right all along, and it's only a matter of time before the stock crashes and burns.
