Home Depot Pressured By Lack of Storm Activity
Image Source: TradingView. Home Depot updated its guidance for fiscal 2025 to reflect third quarter performance, continued pressure in the fourth quarter from the lack of storm activity, and ongoing consumer uncertainty and housing pressure. Total sales growth for the year is targeted to be approximately 3.0% (was 2.8%), while comparable sales growth is expected to be slightly positive for the 52-week period (was 1%). The home improvement retailer is targeting a gross margin of 33.2% and an adjusted operating margin of approximately 13% for the year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to decline roughly 5% from $15.24 in fiscal 2024 (was a decline of 2%). It plans to open 12 new stores for the year, with capital expenditures expected at approximately 2.5% of total sales. Though 2025 earnings guidance missed the mark, we continue to like Home Depot as a dividend growth idea. Shares yield 2.6% at the time of this writing. Nov 28, 2025
Phillips 66 Is Committed to a Secure, Competitive and Growing Dividend
Image Source: Phillips 66. Phillips 66 generated $637 million in free cash flow during the third quarter, and the company returned $751 million to shareholders, consisting of $267 million in stock buybacks and $484 million in dividends. Phillips 66 ended the quarter with $21.76 billion in debt and $1.95 billion in cash and cash equivalents. We like its 2027 priorities that include greater than a $500 million reduction in operating, SG&A and freight costs, more than $1 billion in total mid-cycle adjusted EBITDA growth in Midstream and Chemicals, a secure, competitive and growing dividend, and target total debt of $17 billion. We like Phillips 66 as an idea in the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio, with shares yielding 3.6% at the time of this writing. Nov 28, 2025
Enterprise Products Partners Raises Buyback Program
Image Source: TradingView. Enterprise Products Partners announced that it raised the partnership’s common unit buyback program to $5 billion from $2 billion previously. The remaining available capacity under its new buyback program is now $3.6 billion. Total debt principal outstanding at the end of the quarter was $33.9 billion, with the company having consolidated liquidity of approximately $3.6 billion, comprised of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facilities and unrestricted cash on hand. Though Enterprise’s third quarter results revealed some pressure on performance, its DCF coverage of the distribution remains solid and we have no qualms with its increased buyback authorization. We continue to like Enterprise Products Partners as an idea in the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio. Units yield 6.7% at the time of this writing. Nov 28, 2025

Comparable store sales are targeted to be between 3.5%-4% for the year, while management expects to spend approximately $1 billion in capital expenditures on a net basis. We continue to like Dick’s Sporting Goods as a strong dividend growth idea. Shares yield 2.3% at the time of this writing. Nov 20, 2025

Nvidia Says “Blackwell Sales Are Off the Charts”
Image Source: TradingView. In the first nine months of fiscal 2026, Nvidia returned $27 billion to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and cash dividends. At the end of the third quarter, Nvidia had $62.2 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Looking to the fiscal fourth quarter, management is targeting revenue to be $65 billion, plus or minus 2% (versus $62 billion consensus), with non-GAAP gross margin of 75%, plus or minus 50 basis points. We think Nvidia is still in the early innings of an AI build cycle, and the firm remains a core idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Nov 17, 2025

Republic Services’ Pricing Strength Drives Results

In the quarter, core price on total revenue increased 5.9%, while revenue growth from average yield on total revenue was 4.0% as volume decreased total revenue by 0.3%. Year-to-date cash flow from operating activities was $3.32 billion, while adjusted free cash flow came in at $2.19 billion. Year-to-date cash returned to shareholders was $1.13 billion, which included $584 of share buybacks and $544 million of dividends paid. Republic ended the quarter with $13.3 billion in total debt and $84 million in cash and cash equivalents. We like Republic Services’ pricing power, and the garbage hauler remains a core holding in the newsletter portfolios. Nov 13, 2025
Albemarle Is Getting Back on Track
Image Source: TradingView. Albemarle’s third quarter cash from operations of $356 million increased 57% relative to last year’s mark, while on a year-to-date basis, the metric was up 29%, to $894 million, due in part to cost and productivity improvements, cash management actions, and a customer prepayment received in January. Full-year 2025 capital expenditures are targeted at about $600 million, and the firm reiterated it view that it expects to achieve positive free cash flow of $300-$400 million for the full year 2025. Management expects full-year results to be towards the higher end of the previously published $9/kg scenario ranges, or net sales of $5.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $1 billion. We think Albemarle is getting back on track, and the company remains an idea in the ESG Newsletter portfolio.
