High-Yield Dividend Hasbro May Have Hit Bottom 

Thomas Hughes

Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) is not immune to the issues plaguing the market today but it is outperforming what we’ve seen so far this earnings cycle and in more ways than one. The key takeaways from the report are that revenue is growing, the company has pricing power, and margins are widening.

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.

Three (3) Undervalued Dividend-Paying Tech Stocks 

Thomas Hughes

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.

WD-40 Company (NASDAQ: WDFC) had about as good a quarter as can be expected given the circumstances, and that has the stock set up for a rebound.

The price action in Plug Power, Inc (NASDAQ: PLUG) has been as volatile as any stock in our coverage over the last year and, like some others, appears to be at or near its bottom.

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.

Helen of Troy (NASDAQ: HELE) had a strong quarter in Q2 but the results and guidance are what we fear most about the Q2 earnings reporting cycle. Not only were the results boosted by businesses and consumers trying to front-run inflation but the guidance is terrifying.

Will Samsung Results Put A Bottom In Chip Stocks?

Thomas Hughes

Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) reported a mixed quarter but details within the report are lifting the chip sector. While the news may have sparked a near-term bottom we’re not sure it will stick. The company reported a stronger-than-expected demand for memory chips which is good news but the demand was limited to cloud and server applications.

Thomas Hughes

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.

Thomas Hughes

The entire furniture industry has been in a correction and Basset Furniture (NASDAQ: BSET) was not immune. The correction was driven by historically high valuations, fear of slowing growth, peak-rebound, and a round of COVID-related shutdowns that had manufacturing in key hubs at a standstill.

The only thing certain about the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA: SPY) is that its value is based on the expectation of future earnings. In that light, an increase in the expectations for earnings should lift the market and a decline should make it fall.
