The company's long-term goal, as part of Foot Locker's "Lace Up" turnaround plan, is to achieve $350 million in operating cost savings. Digital sales now represent nearly 20% of Foot Locker's total sales, Dillon said on the call. Still, the bright spots were not enough to block out the sting from Foot Locker's guidance. By store, in North America, same-store-sales were up 4.8% at Foot Locker and 6.9% at Kids Foot Locker.

What makes these stocks so formidable is the way they are "constantly reinventing themselves," Jeff Marks, the Club's director of portfolio analysis, said alongside Jim on stage. The Club portfolio, which consists of 32 stocks and cash, has nearly a 22% weighting in the Super Six. Let's consider how to allocate a hypothetical portfolio consisting of 12 stocks and 10% cash. Understanding how the stocks are linked creates an opportunity to build a well-rounded portfolio that balances risk and future returns.

☆ Don't know 'buy to sell' from 'buy to close?' Here are the 4 main ways to trade options
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-03 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

This week's question: Can you go into "buy to open," "buy to close," sell to open," and "sell to close" for options trades? If I believe the price of Apple will go up, I would buy to open a call option. This means I pay for the right, but not the obligation, to call on Apple shares — from the call option seller — should they appreciate. If I sell to close a put option, I'm booking a profit on Apple shares after they've declined. I will sell to close the contract I bought to open and buy to close the contract I sold to open (both trades are "to close").

Higher sales and lower COGS resulted in better-than-expected gross margin expansion that trickled down to a bottom-line beat. The company's pretax profit margin also expanded versus the year-ago period, benefiting from a higher merchandise margin. The strong merchandise margin was attributable to less shrink (theft), reduced freight costs, and lower markdowns.

Wall Street returned to its winning ways this week — and Nvidia 's blowout earnings report Wednesday night was a big reason why. Twenty-six of our 32 portfolio stocks have delivered their results this earnings season (we didn't own Abbott Labs at the time of its report). It was a muted week for macroeconomic data, but we did get a slightly better-than-expected January existing home sales report on Thursday. In the week ahead, two more Club names are set to report earnings before a market-moving economic update arrives Thursday morning. The two other reports of note are the January new home sales report on Monday and ISM Manufacturing report on Friday.

Bausch Health Companies reported a fourth-quarter earnings beat on Tuesday. However , the stock's upside is likely limited until the legal battle over one of its most popular drugs is resolved. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $869 million was up 5.6% versus last year and ahead of the $863 billion consensus estimate. That makes Xifaxan responsible for 38% of Bausch Health sales, excluding B+L. Breaking that down, $4.7 billion to $4.85 billion are attributable to Bausch Health (implying 2% to 5% organic growth), with $4.6 billion to $4.7 billion attributable to Bausch + Lomb.

Coterra Energy slightly missed earnings expectations on Thursday, but the oil and natural gas producer delivered where it matters most: free cash flow. This new era rewards the energy players that focus on dividends and buybacks, both of which depend on strong, consistent cash flow production. And Coterra delivered, with beats on discretionary and free cash flow. Though the discretionary cash flow guide is disappointing, the ultimate impact is mitigated by this flexibility because it allows for the most efficient use of cash.

The first question we got on the call was in relation to the sustainability of the Data Center sales momentum. Generative AI isn't possible in a data center built for traditional general-purpose computing.

While earnings, profit margins, and cash flow came in slightly ahead of expectations, sales were light across the board. Segment margin , similar to an adjusted operating income margin, grew 64 basis points to 23.5%, slightly ahead of expectations and ahead of the high-end of management's previous forecast. Segment margin performance was largely better than expected, with the exception of Building Technologies, and cash flow generation came in solidly above expectations. Where they landed on guidance both in terms of sales and margin performance, and therefore earnings, hinges on the short-cycle recovery. Full-year segment margin guidance of 23.15% at the midpoint was higher than estimates.
