Hello, Stock Region family!
It’s Thursday, and you know what that means—time to dive into the latest market movers and shakers. This week’s watchlist is packed with some heavy hitters and a few under-the-radar gems. Let’s break it down together, shall we?
1. PepsiCo ($PEP)
The Resilient Snack King
PepsiCo just delivered a mic-drop moment with its Q2 earnings. Revenue climbed 1% to $22.73 billion, beating Wall Street’s expectations, and core earnings per share came in at $2.12—another win for the books.
What’s driving this growth? Two words: international sales. PepsiCo’s global footprint is flexing its muscles, and North American food volumes are getting a boost from new product flavors (who doesn’t love trying a quirky new chip?) and value-brand offerings.
Investors seem to love the resilience PepsiCo is showing in this tricky economic climate. Shares are up 2% in premarket trading, and honestly, I’m not surprised. This company has a knack for staying relevant, even when the chips (pun intended) are down.
2. Starbucks ($SBUX)
Brewing Stability, But Facing Challenges
Starbucks is serving up more than just lattes—it’s also dishing out a quarterly cash dividend of $0.61 per share, payable on August 29, 2025. If you’re a dividend investor, this is your cue to smile.
But let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Q3 earnings. All eyes are on July 29, 2025, when Starbucks will reveal its results. Analysts are expecting a modest 1.65% revenue growth year-over-year.
Here’s the thing, though—Starbucks isn’t without its challenges. Operational hiccups and fierce competition in key markets like China are brewing some uncertainty. If you’re watching the stock, keep an eye on $91.29 for a potential breakout or $90.60 for a dip. Personally, I’m cautiously optimistic. Starbucks has weathered storms before, and I wouldn’t bet against their ability to innovate.
3. General Electric ($GE)
Flying High with Aerospace
GE is soaring—literally. The aerospace segment just raised its 2025 profit outlook, thanks to a surge in demand for servicing older jets. Aviation is clearly GE’s golden goose right now, and investors are taking notice.
The stock recently hit a 25-year high, which is no small feat. It’s a testament to GE’s focus on aviation and energy, two sectors that are buzzing with potential. For short-term traders, watch for a breakout above $105.68 or a pullback below $103.71.
I’ve got to say, it’s refreshing to see GE thriving after years of restructuring. This feels like a company that’s finally found its groove, and I’m here for it.
4. Cars.com ($CARS)
Driving into the Digital Future
Cars.com might not be the flashiest name on this list, but don’t sleep on it. The automotive market is hot right now, and Cars.com is perfectly positioned to ride the wave of digital transformation in car shopping.
With more consumers turning to online platforms to buy their next ride, Cars.com is in the driver’s seat for growth. Keep an eye on $13.20 for a potential upside or $12.33 for a downside.
I’ll admit, I’m intrigued by this one. The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, and companies like Cars.com are at the forefront of that change. If you’re looking for a growth play, this might be worth a closer look.
And there you have it—this week’s watchlist! Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just dipping your toes into the market, there’s something here for everyone.
Until next time, happy investing!
Warm regards,
Stock Region Team
