Club holdings Amazon , Costco , Home Depot , and Best Buy have been preparing for the port strike for months — attempting to blunt any fallout it might have on their abilities to get goods from overseas. They added that 60% to 70% of those imports arrive at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. To put things in perspective, for retail goods, the East Coast ports are less utilized than the West Coast ports, Basham said. Due to its size, however, Best Buy often gets priority from its shippers, which could help secure goods faster than smaller competitors. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade.

London CNN —CVS Health is planning to cut about 2,900 jobs in an effort to slash costs, the US health care company said Tuesday. The layoffs represent less than 1% of CVS Health’s (CVS) workforce. In 2021, CVS Health announced that it would close around 900 stores between 2022 and 2024. US drug store chains are struggling because of falling reimbursement rates for prescription drugs, according to analysts who cover the industry. Dollar General’s growth has also hurt drug store chains in rural areas.

Hill, 60, was named Nike's new CEO on September 19. He has worked in the company since the late 80s, aside from the last four years, which he spent retired. From there, he moved up in the ranks about every two years on average, from management to director to vice president. Still, if you ask Rohan Verma, a San Francisco-based executive coach and former senior executive at LinkedIn, it's doable. General Motors' CEO Mary Barra, Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon and Costco's CEO Ron Vachris each moved their way up from entry-level positions, Verma points out.

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 now feature FDA-approved hearing aid capabilities. The Hearing Aid feature in Apple's AirPods Pro 2 is designed for people with mild to moderate hearing loss, and Apple said it can amplify voices, phone calls, and media sounds. So I sought out an expert in the hearing loss community to get a better understanding of whether we should expect Apple's hearing aids to be a hit or miss. The Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 made it legal for the FDA to regulate the sale of hearing aids that don't require a prescription or a trip to the audiologist. As the daughter of a woman who suffers from hearing loss, I've witnessed my mother's denial of her struggles.

Costco says it hasn't seen a meaningful drop in sign-ups or renewals after the member fee increase was announced. "We've stayed true to our principles of really trying to help the member and deliver the value," he said. AdvertisementCostco says members have largely shrugged off the latest fee increase. Millerchip also noted that Costco delayed the fee increase by about two years compared with its typical average cycle, due to the impacts on consumers from the pandemic and inflation. For the full fiscal year, membership fees totaled $4.8 billion, representing half the total operating income for the period, and the company expects the benefit from the fee increase to begin showing up in the next six to 12 months.

The report didn't blow us away, but it still offered plenty of reminders on why Costco investors should stick around. Total revenue in its fiscal 2024 fourth quarter totaled $79.7 billion, missing analysts' expectations of $79.97 billion, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. Costco has succeeded for decades, but the high inflation of recent years has made the company's value-focused ethos really shine. Put it all together, we're increasing our price target on the stock to $950 a share from $875. In the quarter, Costco's membership renewal rate in the U.S. and Canada came in at 92.9%, a tick lower than the 93% rate observed in the third fiscal quarter, while worldwide held constant at 90.5%.
