Stanley Black & Decker Why we own it: Stanley Black & Decker is in the later innings of a multi-year restructuring plan. The one problem is the broader demand environment is still mostly soft, preventing management from raising the midpoint of its outlook. This dynamic makes Stanley Black & Decker one of the more interest-rate-sensitive stocks we have in the portfolio.

☆ Why investors should check the outstanding share count before buying a stock
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-31 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +12 min

But what if I told you this group shrunk its share count dramatically since 2019? The numbers tell the story: Lennar now has 276 million shares outstanding, down from 318 million five years ago. Other than Toll, most of the homebuilder management teams do not emphasize this fundamental change in share count. Management has been buying hand over fist since 2019, shrinking the share count to 215 million from 264 million. My rather unassailable conclusion is pretty simple: Check the share count before you buy a stock.

Sterling and UK stocks (.FTMC) fell back. Ride-hailing giant Uber's stock rose more than 2% before the bell and ahead of its earnings report.

☆ Morning Bid: Volatile news, not markets

While the Federal Reserve is almost certain to raise interest rates again on Wednesday, the move could be its last. So in a holiday-strewn month around the world, the VIX (.VIX) - Wall St's so-called 'fear gauge' of the implied stock market volatility for the month ahead - hit its lowest level on Monday since November 2021. Even though it ticked back up a bit above 16 overnight, it remains three full points below its 33-year historical average. For macro markets, the Fed decision is complicated by the debt ceiling and banking backdrop. March job openings numbers later on Tuesday will give an indication of just how tight the labor market remains.

☆ Ramifications of SVB failure on Fed turned out positive for the stock market, Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-29 | by ( Ashley Capoot | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has ended up breaking positive for the stock market, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Wednesday. "When you go through all the ramifications of the SVB failure, they actually end up breaking positive, not negative, for the stock market — all because of the Federal Reserve," Cramer said. As a result, he said investors have turned to the Wall Street playbook on what to buy when there's an economic slowdown without inflation: tech stocks. This market may be mindless, but it's got muscle memory that says you reach for tech in a slowdown," Cramer said. "The Silicon Valley Bank fiasco was just the oxygen the tech bull needed to snap out of its funk and get back to work."

☆ Reshoring is accelerating—These stocks should benefit as companies return to the U.S.

Reshoring declarations are amping up, as more companies look to return operations to the United States from overseas. Corporate reshoring announcements jumped 17% in the fourth quarter compared with the prior quarter and are now tracking nearly 300% higher than the fourth quarter of 2021, according to UBS. In fact, reshoring and foreign direct investments jobs reached a record of at least 360,000 jobs last year, according to the Reshoring Initiative. The move back to the U.S . can also be seen in corporate earnings, said Ron Graziano, managing director of global accounting and tax for Credit Suisse.

▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

It looks less like fighting the Fed, than a mild disagreement. Powell didn't endorse that market view - which now has just one more quarter point rise to a terminal rate under 4.9% by May and 40 basis points of cuts from there by December. But he seemed ambivalent about investors' more optimistic take on disinflation and indicated the central bank was increasingly keeping its options open about a 'couple of hikes'. Meta's stock boomed as its earnings update showed stricter cost controls and a new $40 billion share buyback. With the risk around the BoE's split monetary policy council for a smaller quarter point move, it was the euro that looks set to emerge the winner of the three big central bank events.

A lot has been said about reshoring, as companies look to bring manufacturing back to their home countries, particularly the U.S. Reshoring is essentially companies returning operations to their original country from overseas. "The reshoring craze is real, especially as you continue to hear more and more about this general theme of deglobalization," he said. "They sell into the construction of the factory, they sell into the equipment of the factory, the automation of the factory." The company's equipment is needed for big semiconductor manufacturing plants as companies test chips as they are produced, Snyder said.

☆ Jim Cramer says he likes these 3 industrial stocks heading into 2023
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-16 | by ( Kevin Stankiewicz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday identified three industrial stocks that he believes are worth owning next year, saying he expects them to outperform the sector's top performers in 2022. The best-performing industrial stocks in the S&P 500 so far this year have been Northrop Grumman , Lockheed Martin and Deere — up 36.9%, 35.6% and 25.7%, respectively. Looking ahead, though, Cramer said he'd prefer to own the likes of Caterpillar , Illinois Tool Works and railroad operator CSX . Illinois Tool Works shares are down more than 12% in 2022 because fears of an economic slowdown have trumped the company's actual results, Cramer contended. Transports such as CSX — down nearly 16% year to date — are "totally hated" on Wall Street, Cramer acknowledged.
