Medtronic Raises Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Image Source: Medtronic. Medtronic raised its fiscal 2025 organic growth guidance to the range of 4.5%-5% versus the prior range of 4%-5%, and it also raised its fiscal 2025 diluted non-GAAP earnings per share guidance in the range of $5.42-$5.50 versus the prior range of $5.40-$5.50, implying growth of 4%-6%. Medtronic is taking advantage of healthy underlying markets and “new product innovation is fueling diversified growth across many health tech growth markets.” The company continues to invest in its “future innovation pipeline to drive growth” in the longer run. The high end of our fair value estimate range stands north of $100 per share.

Nvidia Beats Second Quarter Estimates
Image: Nvidia’s shares have been on a tear the past year. On the heels of the strong second quarter fiscal 2025 report, Nvidia approved an additional $50 billion in share buybacks in addition to the $7.5 billion it still has remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Looking out to the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Nvidia expects revenue to be $32.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, while GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 74.4% and 75%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points. For the full year, management expects gross margins to be in the mid-70% range, which is a very healthy level of profitability. Our fair value estimate stands at $125 per share.

Foot Locker Burns Through Cash During First Half of Full Year 2024
Image: Foot Locker’s shares have been quite volatile the past couple years. Foot Locker reaffirmed its full-year 2024 non-GAAP earnings per share outlook of $1.50-$1.70 per share. For full year 2024, it also reiterated its sales guidance of -1% to 1% growth and comparable sales growth in the range of 1%-3%. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, cash flow from operations was $126 million, while capital spending was $132 million, resulting in a cash burn. Though Foot Locker has returned to top line growth, we’re not at all interested in shares given its cash-flow performance.

Chevron Lacks Dividend Coverage with Traditional Free Cash Flow
Image: Chevron’s shares have been choppy during the past few years. During the second quarter, Chevron returned $6 billion in cash to shareholders, including $3 billion for each of dividends and share repurchases, and more than $50 billion during the past two years. The second quarter marked the ninth straight quarter of over $5 billion cash returned to shareholders. Chevron ended June with $4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $23.2 billion. Through the first six months of the year, traditional free cash flow, as measured by cash flow from operations less all capex, was $5 billion, shy of the $6 billion it paid as dividends over the same time period. We prefer ExxonMobil, which has much better dividend coverage than Chevron.

TJX Companies Boosts Profit Guidance
Image: TJX’s stock has been on a tear over the past couple years. TJX expects consolidated comparable store sales growth to be between 2%-3% in the third quarter. Pre-tax profit margin is expected in the range of 11.8%-11.9% for the quarter, while diluted earnings per share is targeted in the range of $1.06-$1.08. For the full year fiscal 2025, consolidated comparable store sales are expected to be up ~3% (was 2%-3%), and the company raised its pre-tax profit margin to 11.2% and raised its diluted earnings per share outlook to be in the range of $4.09-$4.13 (was $4.03-$4.09). Though we liked the quarter and raised profit guidance, TJX’s shares are not cheap. We’re sticking with our $106 per share fair value estimate at this time. Shares yield 1.3%.

Deere’s Fiscal Third Quarter Results Reveal Challenging Conditions in the Global Agricultural and Construction Sectors
Image Source: Deere & Company. Looking to all of fiscal 2024, Deere continues to expect weak top-line performance across its portfolio. Production & Precision Agriculture net sales are expected to fall 20%-25%, Small Ag & Turf net sales are expected to decline at a similar pace, while Construction & Forestry net revenues are expected to drop 10%-15% on the year. Financial Services net income is targeted at $720 million for fiscal 2024. Deere ended the quarter with a hefty net debt position. Though Deere’s top line continues to face pressure, and its balance sheet isn’t as strong as we would like, management did reaffirm its net income outlook for fiscal 2024 at approximately $7 billion, which was above the consensus forecast. Shares of Deere yield 1.6%.
