Wells Fargo is feeling the pressure.  High rates have hit the mortgage industry hard, and Wells Fargo decided it had enough.  The company sold most of its mortgage business to Trimont, making Trimont the largest loan servicer in the US.

OpenAI isn’t a publicly traded company… yet.  But with its latest funding round, we could see the company valued at over $100 billion.  Meaning that if/when it does hit IPO, we could be looking at the next big thing in stocks.

Airlines are typically less-than-ideal stocks to invest in.  Razor-thin margins, very expensive inventory, and expensive labor contribute to a myriad of reasons why.  But people still need to travel, and until teleportation is invented, air travel remains king.

Shares of Costco are trading higher than ever this year.  Economic conditions have pushed consumers to buy in bulk to save a bit of cash.  And with the strongest brand amongst the bulk retailers, Costco is winning.

Consistency is key in trading.  It’s not about making a quick buck; it’s about developing a disciplined approach that allows you to capitalize on opportunities over time.  You can get lucky once. But winning on repeat is a developed skillset.

Pfizer blew past their Q2 expectations as they looked to cut costs.  Everyone knows Pfizer as a major player in the fight against Covid. But now that Covid’s over, they’ve been seeing a rapid decline for Covid products (rightfully so).

Dollar stores just aren’t popular anymore.  Dollar General, one of the biggest discount retailers out there, reported disappointing earnings.  Which led to shares dropping to a 6-year low.

Some companies cut workers because they’re not making enough, and others cut workers because they’re “trimming the fat.” The latter is often why company stocks go up after layoff announcements.

The company announced that it would be cutting 1,000 jobs in August, but shares are still up a fair amount YTD.  It’s important to note that investors react to the reasoning behind layoffs:

Companies have to be big enough and profitable for a certain amount of time to join.  And since Dell and Palantir met the criteria, they were added in—while Etsy and American Air were benched to make room.
