Cal-Maine: This Company Has Pricing Power 

Thomas Hughes

Cal-Maine (NASDAQ: CALM) is an interesting income stock due to the nature of the payout. The company has a very strict capital return program that only allows a dividend when the company is turning a profit, which can be intermittent.

This Is A Turning Point For Baker Hughes Stock

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Baker Hughes (NYSE: BKR) fell roughly 5.0% in the wake of the Q2 results but we are viewing the drop as a buying opportunity that could be worth 40% or more over the next few quarters. The company missed the top and bottom line estimates which is not something we like to see.

Is It Time To Get Defensive With Lockheed Martin?

Thomas Hughes

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) issued weak results and trimmed its full-year outlook causing the stock to drop more than 3.5% in after-hours trading. While the news is lackluster we are viewing the drop in share prices as buying opportunity for dividend investors.

While Samsung’s results may not spark a major reversal in the chip industry they, and other signs within the market, suggest a bottom is in play and it’s one for dividend investors to take advantage of. The chip stocks are undervalued and pay safe, if not always large dividends.

Is Roblox A Good Play For The 2nd Half

Thomas Hughes

We recently saw some coverage of Roblox (NASDAQ: RBLX) that led us to believe it could be a great play for the 2nd half. The story suggested a recent pop in share prices was due to increased retail chatter that may lead to a short-squeeze, it even suggested Roblox could be a meme stock but we don't think so.

The energy market has been in a correction along with the broader market-driven by fears of recession. While the fear of recession is not misplaced, the idea that oil prices are going to fall back anywhere the prepandemic level, or that demand will take a deep dive, is.
