Ford and General Mills: Reliable Dividends Amid EV Push and Brand Revitalization

Two dividend stalwarts, Ford and General Mills, are highlighted as solid income plays.

Both face challenges from competition and shifting consumer tastes but offer steady income and potential long-term upside.

"Jim Cramer Advises Buying P&G as U.S. Dollar Weakens"

Retail Earnings Diverge as Analysts Warn of Worsening Trends

Wall Street is anticipating a divergence in retail earnings this week as the US consumer remains selective with their spending. Service-based retail stocks have seen an increase due to higher spending on travel, while automobile and parts stocks have declined. Companies in the consumer staples sector have fared better than those in the discretionary sector. Walmart has outperformed the S&P 500, benefiting from consumers trading down amid inflation, while Target has seen shares fall due to its higher dependence on discretionary spending. Home Depot, Target, and Walmart are among the retailers set to release earnings this week. Analysts have mixed views on the sector, with some expecting a slowdown driven by student loan repayments, declining excess savings, and higher borrowing costs.

Weight Loss Drug Ozempic Triggers Slump in Snack, Beer, and Fast Food Stocks

Shares of food and beverage companies, including Constellation Brands, Mondelez International, and Nestle, slid after Walmart mentioned the impact of weight loss drugs like Ozempic on shopping demand. The S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index fell 0.5% on Friday, extending losses after its worst session since January. While some skepticism remains about the long-term impact on consumer buying habits, analysts suggest that alcohol, snacking, and non-alcoholic drink companies are most at risk with the broad adoption of weight loss drugs. PepsiCo will be the first major company in the group to report third-quarter results next week, and analysts expect questions about the potential impact of weight loss drugs on their businesses.

Coca-Cola's stock has reached a 52-week low, heading for its worst year since 2008. The company's performance has been declining, partly due to a struggling consumer staples sector and a broader sell-off in the soft drink industry. Concerns about weight-loss drugs impacting grocery spending and a slowdown in beverage and household product sales have also contributed to the decline.

Coca-Cola Stock Plummets 5% Amid Growing Consumer Spending Concerns

Coca-Cola stock fell by 4.8% due to concerns that weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are causing customers to buy fewer groceries and consume fewer calories. Walmart's U.S. CEO confirmed that these drugs are leading to a slight pullback in overall shopping baskets. The news prompted a sell-off in the soft drink industry, with Coca-Cola and PepsiCo both experiencing declines. While the impact of these weight-loss drugs on the industry is still uncertain, Coca-Cola's efforts to pivot towards healthier beverages and diversify its offerings may help mitigate the potential damage.
