Boeing to Acquire Spirit AeroSystems
Image: Boeing’s shares have traded sideways the past few years as it works to fix safety issues. Boeing benefits from its global oligopoly with Airbus, but the company is in a world of hurt at the moment. Looking at its first-quarter results shows a sizable core non-GAAP net loss per share, operating cash flow burn of $3.4 billion, as well as free cash flow burn of $3.9 billion. We think the near term will continue to be difficult for Boeing as it struggles to right the ship, but a more bullish take will point to its total company backlog of $539 billion, which includes 5,600+ commercial airplanes, as one reason to be optimistic. To us, however, Boeing continues to be a show-me story, and we remain on the sidelines with respect to shares.

Carnival Corp. Experiencing Strong Demand Trends
Image: Carnival Corp.’s shares have bounced from its 2022 lows, but the company has yet to return to new highs, despite strong bookings demand. On June 25, Carnival Corp. reported better-than-expected second quarter results for fiscal 2024. The company is experiencing strong bookings momentum and generated record booking volumes for 2025 sailings. The strong demand is facilitating higher prices (in constant currency) for orders taken during 2024 and its most recently completed second quarter, in particular.

Accenture Facing Revenue Growth Pressures But Stock Is Worth a Look
Image: Accenture is facing revenue growth pressure, but the company’s financials remain resilient. We’re concerned about Accenture’s downward financial guidance revisions in March and pressure on demand growth for its IT and consulting services, but Accenture’s free cash flow generation remains robust, its balance sheet remains solid, and new bookings growth remains healthy with exposure to AI. Accenture pays a healthy dividend, and the firm continues to buy back stock. The company checks a lot of the boxes that we’d be looking for in a new idea, but we’d like to see evidence of revenue growth improvement before growing interested in adding the company to any newsletter portfolio. We remain on the sidelines for now.

Walmart Winning Business as Consumers Remain Cost Conscious
Image Source: Walmart. Walmart is doing a fantastic job connecting with the consumer and delivering where it matters, both with respect to convenience and savings. Its e-commerce business contributed ~280 basis points to Walmart U.S.’s comp in the most recently reported quarter, for example. Traction with respect to store-fulfilled pickup and delivery are two main considerations driving Walmart’s comp resilience, while consumers continue to enjoy buying in bulk via Sam’s Club. We like Walmart’s positioning in the current retail environment as the firm continues to attract the cost-conscious consumer amid a step change in consumer goods inflation the past couple years.

Starbucks Surprises Investors with Weak Fiscal Second Quarter Results
Image: Starbucks’ shares face some challenges as the firm struggles to right the ship. Starbucks surprised investors with very weak second-quarter 2024 results that showed a miss on both the top and bottom lines. We’re steering clear of Starbucks as a cautious consumer spending environment and execution remain key issues for the firm. We prefer Domino’s and Chipotle instead.

McDonald’s Continues to Be Impacted By the War in the Middle East
Image: McDonald's shares have largely traded sideways the past couple years. Though impacts from the Middle East weren’t great and the pace of adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share growth weren’t as high as we would have liked in the first quarter, we’re sticking with McDonald’s in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. McDonald’s mostly franchised business model works well in the current inflationary environment, and we continue to like the value it provides to consumers.

Domino’s Long-Term Growth Outlook Looks Achievable
Image Source: Domino's. Domino’s continues to be shareholder-friendly, paying a nice quarterly dividend and buying back stock. As of March 24, it still had total remaining authorization on its buyback program of $1.12 billion. Looking to the firm’s long-term guidance, the firm is targeting 7%+ annual global retail sales growth, 1,100 annual global net store growth, and 8%+ annual income from operations growth. We think its targets are achievable.
