Thomas Hughes

Li Auto Inc. Is Why In-Production EV OEM’s Are A Buy

Thomas Hughes

Li Auto’s (NASDAQ: LI) Q3 report is evidence why investors should focus more on the in-production EV OEMs rather than those swing-for-the-fences names that have yet to make a vehicle. The keywords to be focused on are ramping production and rising demand, a combination that has Li Auto and others like it set up for accelerating revenue over the coming few quarters at least.

Three IPO’s To Buy In December 

Thomas Hughes

This year has been a busy year for IPO’s. If there is one thing we’ve learned it’s that rushing in to buy an IPO on the first day, or even within the first few days, isn’t always the smartest thing to do, even when the underlying company is fundamentally sound. Three of the latest IPO’s are no different.

Sweet Results Send J.M. Smucker Company Bubbling Higher 

Thomas Hughes

J.M. Smucker Company’s (NYSE: SJM) Q2 results are not without issue but what issues there are can be overlooked in favor of pricing power. While inflationary issues are cutting into bottom-line results, the cut was less severe than expected and the company is expecting higher net pricing across a broad range of categories

Is Cracker Barrel A High-Yield Trap? 

Thomas Hughes

Cracker Barrel (NASDAQ: CBRL) has been, to us, an attractive dividend growth stock over the years but my how the times have changed. While the 3.6% dividend yield looks safe enough, for now, the payout is still below the pre-COVID levels and we’re not holding our breaths for any large increases any time soon.
