Why Walmart is clobbering its rivals

Walmart (WMT) has had a year for the record books. The company’s stock is up a sizzling 80% this year. Its financial performance has been beyond impressive given Walmart’s size. And Walmart continues to out-perform key retail rivals such as Target (TGT). It’s for these reasons Walmart has secured the 2024 Yahoo Finance Company of the Year award. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sat down with Walmart CEO Doug McMillon to learn more about the company’s growth plans and what keeps the longtime CEO up at night. He says Walmart is truly firing on all cylinders. But can Walmart stay dominant in the years to come as Amazon (AMZN) gets even stronger and others in retail mount comebacks? Sozzi welcomes retail and supply chain expert Brittain Ladd on Opening Bid for an in-depth discussion on the future of the world’s largest retailer. For full episodes of Opening Bid, listen on your favorite podcast platform or watch on our website.

Market breadth is a 'prove-it story': NYSE strategist

Mega-cap Big Tech names are outperforming in markets again, but can they keep the same momentum they once had? NYSE Senior Market Strategist Michael Reinking joins Morning Brief to discuss his outlook on breadth within the stock market. Reinking notes that the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) expanded in breadth post-election, with mega-cap tech stocks beginning to recover. "We're at kind of an area where you'd like to see that breadth expansion start to... pick back up," he says, highlighting concerns about higher inflation and the potential for fewer rate cuts in 2025. He identifies financials and industrials as sectors positioned to benefit from increased market breadth expansion. Regarding a catalyst for market breadth, Reinking characterizes it as "a prove it story," noting the earnings gap between the Magnificent 7 and the other equal-weighted stocks in the S&P 500 (^GSPC) is likely to narrow. "It's going to be a situation where you need to see companies, A) being able to meet their earnings expectations, but you want to see the earnings revisions start to move more positively for that equal weight... contingent," he explains.

Why Alphabet Stock Was Moving Higher Today

Shares of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) moved higher today after the tech giant was named a top stock for 2025 by Barron's and seemed to benefit from broader market news. Today, investors seemed to react to Barron's choice to include Alphabet on the list of its 10 favorite stocks to buy for 2025. Alphabet was the only "Magnificent Seven" stock to make the list, and the tech giant is cheaper than most of those peers, still trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 26 even as the stock reached an all-time high today.
