The Coca-Cola Company Gets KO’d After Stunning Quarter

Thomas Hughes

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) share price has been moving higher this year on a wave of analysts' sentiment that may continue now that the Q1 results are in. The caveat is that no analysts have come out with commentary despite the strength of the results and the price action is sketchy.

Thomas Hughes

Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) gave the market some good news on April 19th when it reported earnings. The results were mixed but came with positive guidance and an outlook for growth that got the market’s attention.

PPG Industries Stock Price Is At A Turning Point

Thomas Hughes

Price action in PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG) corrected in the first quarter of 2022 and put in a bottom just before the release of Q1 results. The bottom bore the hallmarks of reversal but that scenario has come into question. The Q1 results were better than expected and included some indications supply chain issues were receding but guidance was tepid.

Snap Up Some Snap-On On Post-Earnings Weakness

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Snap-On (NYSE: SNA) got a boost early in April when Goldman Sachs turned up the name when it screened for stocks with pricing power and margin control. That boost resulted in a surge to a 9-month high that has since been rejected.

Tractor Supply Company Reaps What It Sows

Thomas Hughes

Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO) is one of our favorite stories from the pandemic but it seems that, at long last, those tailwinds have ceased to blow. The company is still growing and is still forecasting growth but it has slowed from the high double-digits of last year to the low single-digits of this year.

High-Yield Kinder Morgan Is Still A Buy

Thomas Hughes

Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) caught our eye last year as a high-yielding value that we might want to own. The company was exiting a period of underperformance and reorganization and looking ahead to a favorable market environment.

Thomas Hughes

Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ: STLD) share prices have been scaling new heights on demand and pricing expectations along with the company’s efforts to expand to meet that demand. The Q1 results not only confirm those expectations but indicate the business is even healthier than the analysts were predicting.

The Institutions Are Driving Knight-Swift Transportation

Thomas Hughes

The institutions have been buying Knight-Swift Transportation (NYSE: KNX) for the last two years. Institutional activity has been net-bullish for 7 consecutive quarters and we don’t see that trend ending. The trucking industry is in a heyday that is supported by high demand and high pricing that is leading to outperformance on the top and bottom lines.

Thomas Hughes

Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), despite the rangebound nature of trading in 2022, is one of the most heavily upgraded stocks coming into the Q1 earnings season. The company has received at least 12 major upgrades and/or price target increases in the time since the last earnings report and it received quite a few immediately after that event as well.

Highly Valued Abbot Laboratories Could Move Lower

Thomas Hughes

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) is not in danger of losing its business but we have some concerns its share price could fall. Not only is it a highly-valued stock compared to peers but its current revenue and earnings are based largely on COVID-19.

Baker Hughes, Another Buy-The-Dip Opportunity In Oilfield Services

Thomas Hughes

Baker Hughes (NYSE: BKR) is pulling back on weak results and the company did miss on the top and bottom lines. What it did not do was give what we consider to be a bad report, just one that fell short of the expectations. The takeaway for us is the outlook, the company echoed commentary from competitor Haliburton, in that it sees a long-term upcycle in energy about to unfold.

Buy Haliburton On Post-Earnings Weakness

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Haliburton (NYSE: HAL) are pulling back from a long-term high and we think it is setting up the next buying opportunity for the stock. The main driver of the pullback is sentiment and profit-taking because the Q1 results, as good as they are, were barely more than what the market expected.

Workhorse Johnson & Johnson Plows New All-Time Highs

Thomas Hughes

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is, if nothing else, a workhorse among stocks and one any investor could own. The company’s business is more than entrenched, it often trades at a discount to the S&P 500, it delivers steady consistent growth, and it pays a nice dividend.

Thomas Hughes

Supply chain challenges or not, J.B. Hunt Transportation Services (NASDAQ: JBHT) is firing on all cylinders. The Q1 results reveal the company is supported by three pillars of trucking including volume, rates, and fuel surcharges. The key takeaway from the report is that both revenue and earnings are better than expected and we expect the company to continue performing at this level

Analysts Reel In Netflix Targets Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Thomas Hughes

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) developed a disturbing trend of price target reductions ahead of the Q1 earnings report but investors shouldn’t read too much into it. While 7 of the 37 analysts covering the stock came out with commentary in the two weeks before the report, and while 6 of those lowered their price target, the Marketbeat.com consensus price is well above price action.

Banking On Bank Of America

Thomas Hughes

Results from the financial sector have been mixed this quarter but Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) stands out. The company’s focus on U.S. consumer banking and the interest rate environment has it set up for earnings growth and that is already being seen in the results.

Institutions And Analysts Drive UnitedHealth Group Higher

Thomas Hughes

United Health has been trending higher since well before the COVID-19 pandemic began and looks like it is ready to continue that trend. The move is being driven by institutional and analyst support that is in turn driven by the company’s results. Results for Q1 2022 are so good the company raised its guidance and we think it will raise guidance again later in the year.

Three Beaten Down Mega Caps The Analysts Are Upgrading

Thomas Hughes

The market has taken a beating over the past few months and many of the leading names were beaten down with it. In many cases, as with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), Albertsons (NYSE: ACI), and UPS (NYSE: UPS), the pressure on shares is due more to the fear of underperformance than anything else.

The Top Is In For Infosys

Thomas Hughes

Infosys (NYSE: INFY) is still growing, it’s still making profits, and it’s still on track to pay a higher dividend than it did last year but the market for the stock has peaked. This is because the growth is more than priced in and sell-side support is waning.
