<p>As the chip market continues to experience remarkable growth, let&#8217;s explore the prospects of two prominent players in the semiconductor industry, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), to assess which is worth buying now. Read more.</p>
<p><span>The semiconductor industry is set to benefit from the exponential growth of the AI chip market. The widespread adoption of cloud-based AI solutions drives the demand for appropriate semiconductor chips.</span></p>
<p><span>While both Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TSM/" rel="noopener"><span>TSM</span></a><span>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMD/" rel="noopener"><span>AMD</span></a><span>) are positioned to benefit from the industry tailwinds, TSM&#8217;s recent technological advancements and financial performance metrics could help the stock generate higher returns.</span></p>
<p><span>The potential and benefits of AI have prompted numerous businesses, including startups, to enter the AI chips market. As a result, the artificial intelligence (AI) chips market is expected to grow at a </span><a target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/artificial-intelligence-ai-chips-market-023000083.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall" rel="noopener"><span>CAGR of 61.5%</span></a><span> by 2027.</span></p>
<p><span>TSM has gained marginally intraday, while AMD declined 1.4%. However, TSM&#8217;s 3.8% gains over the past nine months are lower than AMD&#8217;s 46.9% returns.</span></p>
<p><span>Here are the reasons I think TSM could perform better in the near term:</span></p>
<p><b>Recent Developments</b></p>
<p><span>During the 2023 North America Technology Symposium, TSM unveiled its latest technological advancements, demonstrating its commitment to innovation. Among the highlights were significant developments in 2nm technology and the introduction of new members to its highly regarded 3nm technology lineup. These additions cater to a wide range of customer needs, providing tailored processes for enhanced power, performance, and density.</span></p>
<p><span>On April 21, TSM signed a 20,000 GWh renewable energy joint procurement contract with ARK Power (a subsidiary of ARK Solar Energy). The agreement enables TSM suppliers and subsidiaries to purchase renewable energy and assists with electricity evaluation and planning services.</span></p>
<p><span>Alternatively, on May 24, AMD announced the launch of the AMD Radeon™ RX 7600 graphics card, optimized to provide next-generation, high-performance 1080p gaming, streaming, and content creation with stunning visual fidelity.</span></p>
<p><b>Recent Financial Results</b></p>
<p><span>TSM&#8217;s net revenue increased 3.6% year-over-year to NT$508.63 billion ($16.57 billion) in the first quarter that ended March 31, 2023. Its gross profit rose 4.9% from the prior year&#8217;s quarter to NT$286.50 billion ($9.33 billion), while </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/ifo.asp" rel="noopener"><span>income from operations</span></a><span> came in at NT$231.24 billion ($7.54 billion), up 3.3% year-over-year.</span></p>
<p><span>In addition, the company&#8217;s net income and EPS increased 2.1% year-over-year to NT$206.99 billion ($6.74 million) and NT$7.98, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span>On the other side, during the fiscal first quarter that ended April 1, 2023, AMD&#8217;s net revenue decreased 9.1% year-over-year to $5.35 billion. Its non-GAAP gross profit declined 13.7% year-over-year to $2.68 billion. Its non-GAAP operating expenses rose 17.9% from the prior-year quarter to $1.59 billion, while non-GAAP operating income declined 40.2% year-over-year to $1.10 billion.</span></p>
<p><span>Moreover, AMD&#8217;s non-GAAP net income and EPS decreased 39% and 46.9% year-over-year to $970 million and $0.60, respectively.</span></p>
<p><b>Past and Expected Financial Performance</b></p>
<p><span>TSM&#8217;s revenue and EPS grew at CAGRs of 28.9% and 87.8%, respectively, over the past three years. Analysts expect TSM&#8217;s revenue to increase 25.6% next year. The company&#8217;s EPS is expected to grow 24% next year.</span></p>
<p><span>On the other hand, AMD&#8217;s revenue grew at a CAGR of 47.1%, while EPS declined at a CAGR of 17.7% over the past three years. Analysts expect the company&#8217;s EPS to increase 44.7% next year. The company&#8217;s revenue is expected to grow 18.1% next year.</span></p>
<p><b>Profitability</b></p>
<p><span>TSM is more profitable, with a gross profit margin and net income margin of 59.68% and 44.74%, compared to AMD&#8217;s 50.77% and 1.71%, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, TSM&#8217;s ROE, ROA, and ROTC of 37.86%, 19.80%, and 20.23% compare to AMD&#8217;s 0.72%, 0.18%, and 0.58%, respectively.</span></p>
<p><b>Valuation</b></p>
<p><span>In terms of forward non-GAAP P/E, AMD is currently trading at 40.90x, higher than TSM&#8217;s 19.41x. Moreover, AMD&#8217;s forward EV/Sales multiple of 8.13 is slightly higher than TSM&#8217;s 6.38.</span></p>
<p><b>POWR Ratings</b></p>
<p><span>TSM has an overall rating of B, which equates to a Buy in our proprietary </span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/" rel="noopener"><span>POWR Ratings</span></a><span> system. Conversely, AMD has an overall rating of D, translating to a Sell. The POWR Ratings are calculated considering 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.</span></p>
<p><span>Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. TSM has a grade of A for Quality. Its trailing-12-month EBIT and net income margins of 49.47% and 44.74% are remarkably higher than the industry average of 4.35% and 2.01%, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span>AMD, on the other hand, has a grade of D for Quality. Its trailing-12-month EBIT and net income margins of 0.73% and 1.71% are lower than the industry average of 4.35% and 2.01%, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span>In the 91-stock</span> <a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/category/semiconductor-wireless-chip/" rel="noopener"><span>Semiconductor &amp; Wireless Chip</span></a><span> industry, TSM is ranked #26, while AMD is ranked #85.</span></p>
<p><span>Beyond what we&#8217;ve stated above, we have also rated both stocks for Growth, Stability, Momentum, Value, and Sentiment.</span> <a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TSM/" rel="noopener"><span>Click here</span></a><span> to view TSM ratings. Get all AMD ratings</span> <a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMD/" rel="noopener"><span>here</span></a><span>.</span></p>
<p><b>The Winner</b></p>

<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20230508111356_3-high-yield-banks-insiders-are-buying.jpg" alt="bank stocks " width="1000" height="750"/></p>
<p>The financial crisis may not be over, but the risk is not spread equally among America’s banks. The smaller regional banks focused on America’s heartland are in far better shape than the risk-taking growth names that recently saw their businesses collapse. One way to root out the good from the bad is to check out the insider buying activity, and there is some interesting data on Insidertrades.com’s tracking pages. </p>
<p>Among the names that appear on the list of regular insider buying are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insidertrades.com/glacier-bancorp-inc-stock/" rel="noopener"><strong>Glacier Bancorp (NASDAQ: GCBI)</strong></a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insidertrades.com/first-financial-bankshares-inc-stock/" rel="noopener"><strong>First Financial Bankshares (NYSE: FFIN)</strong></a><strong>,</strong> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insidertrades.com/farmers-national-banc-corp-stock/" rel="noopener"><strong>Farmers National Banc Corp (NYSE: FMNB)</strong></a>, which share another attractive trait; they pay high-yielding dividends. Taking the insider buys as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insidertrades.com/education/3-financials-the-insiders-are-buying/" rel="noopener">a sign of company health</a>, it looks like these stocks are trading at ridiculously low values, and the payouts are safe. </p>
<h2>First Financial Bankshares: The Low-Yield Choice </h2>
<p>First Financial Bankshares is the lowest-yielding of this group, but the 2.6% yield is attractive enough. The payout is less than 45% of the expected earnings and has been growing at a double-digit pace for 12 years, so there is an expectation for distribution growth as well. It is among the higher-valued bank stocks with a P/E near 17X, possibly because the consensus figures have fallen so low. Regarding insider activity, there has been no insider selling for years, and their buying picked up with the share price implosion. </p>
<p>Insidertrades.com has been tracking sales from 4 insiders, including 3 directors and the CFO since the banking crisis began. They have total holdings up to 4%, and the institutions are also buying. Institutional activity is mixed on a quarter-to-quarter basis but bullish on balance. The price action remains bearish, but this buying is evident in the charts. Signs of a potential bottom at the $27 level may be confirmed by summer. </p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20230508105737_chart-ffin-582023.png" alt="First Financial Bankshares stock chart " width="1000" height="486" loading="lazy"/></p>
<h2>Glacier Bancorp Yields 4.5% </h2>
<p>Glacier Bancorp is slightly smaller than First Financial regarding the market cap, but it is a much better-yielding stock with a payout near 4.5%. It also offers better value trading at 13X earnings and the stock trading at critical support near a 10-year low. Insidertrades.com is tracking 4 insiders buying this stock, including the CEO, CAO, CFO and the Chairman of the Board. The insiders own only 0.44% of the company, but their buying is no-less telling, and high institutional ownership backs it up. The institutions own about 70% of this bank and have been buying since the crisis started. </p>
<p>At least 4 analysts have updated their targets since March, including price target reductions. Regardless, the community has the stock pegged at Moderate Buy with a target ranging from $40 to $47. That’s worth 37% of the upside at the low end of the range, and it could be reached quickly, given signs of stability in the banking sector. </p>
<h2>Farmers National Banc Corp, 5.96% Looks Pretty Good </h2>
<p>Farmers National Banc Corp (NASDAQ: FMNB) yields nearly 6.0%, with its shares trading near critical support levels. The payout is a cool 36% of the earnings outlook, so there are no red flags from that quarter. The company has been increasing the payout for 7 years, so there is also an expectation for increases, although the 22% pace it has sustained will likely slow. </p>
<p>Insidertrades.com is tracking 6 insiders buying this stock, including 4 directors, an SVP and the CEO. They have insider holdings up to 4.8%, and institutional activity is bullish as well. The institutions have been buying this stock for many quarters and have their holdings up to 39%. Their activity peaked in Q1 and slowed in Q2, but Q2 is on track for above-average buying. This stock is showing signs of support at the $11 level. This market could easily reach the $14 range if they are confirmed. </p>

											JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS MIKE RUMPLE. AND WE’RE GOING TO GO THROUGH MIKE’S TOP FIVE. WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN BUYING A CAR. LET’S START OFF WITH NUMBER ONE, DON’T NEGOTIATE THE PRICE AT THE CAR DEALERSHIP. WHY? WELL, BECAUSE BUYING A VEHICLE REALLY IS A GAME. AND IF YOU’RE TRYING TO GET THE BEST DEAL, YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONTACT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE THEM COMPETE AGAINST THE PRICE. SO YOU SHOULD NEGOTIATE OVER THE PHONE. NEGOTIATE OVER THE PHONE. SO THAT’S A GOOD TIP RIGHT THERE. LET’S GO TO NUMBER TWO. DON’T TALK TOO MUCH. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? WELL, I WAS TOLD IN ANY NEGOTIATION, WHOEVER TALKS THE MOST NORMALLY LOSES. MY IDEA IS JUST TO KIND OF PLAY DUMB AND JUST GET THEM TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION TO PLAY DUMB, LOOK SMART. LET’S GO TO NUMBER THREE. WE DON’T DEAL WITH ONE DEALERSHIP. WHY IS THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR A CONSUMER TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY GOT AN AWESOME DEAL IS THEY HAVE TO CONTACT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. IT’S THE REASON WHY WHEN A LOT OF PEOPLE END UP BUYING A VEHICLE AS SOON AS THEY LEAVE, THEY FEEL LIKE THEY GOT RIPPED OFF. WELL, THAT’S BECAUSE YOU ONLY CONTACTED ONE DEALERSHIP. SO THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER FOUR. AND THAT IS, DON’T ACCEPT THE DEALERSHIP FINANCING WITHOUT GETTING PRE-APPROVED AT OTHER BANKS AND CREDIT UNIONS. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT, MIKE? YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM COMPETE FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND REALLY, IN THE END, HOW YOU FINANCE THE CAR OR PAY FOR THE CAR IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE SALE PRICE OF THE CAR. 2% ON $20,000 IS OVER $1,000 OVER THE TERM OF THE LOAN. SO YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT RATE YOU SHOULD BE GETTING APPROVED FOR TO SAVE THE MOST AMOUNT OF MONEY. LET’S TALK MORE ABOUT THE SALES PRICE. THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER FIVE. DON’T TRUST THE ONLINE TICKET PRICE. WHY DO YOU SAY THAT? ALL THE FREE SITES WHERE YOU’RE SEARCHING ONLINE, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT OF THOSE SITES. YOU ARE NOT THEIR CUSTOMER. THEIR CUSTOMER IS THE DEALERSHIPS. SO SO A LOT OF THE TIMES THE PRICE THAT YOU SEE ONLINE IS A BAIT PRICE JUST TO GET YOU TO COME INTO THE DEALERSHIP. MIKE’S TOP FIVE, WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN BUYING A CAR.

<p>As the battle for market dominance in the streaming sector rages on, the lack of hit shows this year has put streaming companies on the back foot. So, will it be worth looking at streaming stocks Walt Disney (DIS), Paramount (PARA), and Roku (ROKU)? Read on to learn my view.</p>
<p>People&#8217;s viewing preferences have changed drastically from television to various streaming platforms in recent years. Rapid advancements in technology are driving the growth of streaming services, internet penetration, easy on-demand accessibility, a wide range of available content, etc.</p>
<p>The streaming industry now has several players vying for dominance in a cutthroat market. Given the increased competition in the industry, it could be wise to avoid fundamentally weak streaming stocks The Walt Disney Company (<a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DIS/" rel="noopener">DIS</a>), Paramount Global (<a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PARA/" rel="noopener">PARA</a>), and Roku, Inc. (<a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ROKU/" rel="noopener">ROKU</a>).</p>
<p>Before diving deeper into the fundamentals of these stocks, let&#8217;s discuss what&#8217;s happening in the streaming industry.</p>
<p>Netflix, Inc. (<a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/NFLX/" rel="noopener">NFLX</a>), which was once the undisputed king in the streaming space, saw its market share <a target="_blank" href="https://www.similarweb.com/blog/insights/media-entertainment-news/streaming-q1-2023/#:~:text=post%2Dpandemic%20world.-,Market%20Share%20Over%20Time,when%20compared%20to%20leading%20platforms." rel="noopener">drop 5.6% year-over-year to 44.21%</a> in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The streaming industry has shown, on average, a monthly traffic decline of 20.2% year-over-year in the first quarter.</p>
<p>The dearth of new hits has also resulted in a slow start for streaming platforms this year. Amid high inflation and the consequent pressure on consumers and businesses, streaming services are being ever more cautious about spending, as they risk losing customers. This makes it increasingly challenging for streaming platforms, as it is difficult to stand out in the market.</p>
<p>As more competitors enter the sector offering similar services, streaming platforms are facing strong competition. These streaming players are all vying for the same viewers. This makes it difficult for streaming players as they now have to spend more on content and marketing to attract new users to their respective platforms.</p>
<p>Given the high level of competition present in the streaming industry, investors could look to avoid fundamentally weak streaming stocks DIS, PARA, and ROKU.</p>
<p><strong>The Walt Disney Company </strong><strong>(</strong><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DIS/" rel="noopener"><strong>DIS</strong></a><strong>)</strong></p>

<h2>A Deeper Look Into Project Platinum Training </h2>
<p>Project Platinum has tools, information, and gadget access that costs thousands of dollars if you buy them separately. To ease the burden on the trainees, the company is offering all of this for a discounted price, with a lot of free stuff. </p>
<p>Here is what you will get by becoming a part of Project Platinum. </p>
<p><strong>Module One: 6-Week Platinum Masterclass</strong></p>
<p>To start with, this training has a masterclass explaining what makes affiliate marketing a profitable venture. Obviously, it is unwise to spend money and time on something that is not worthy. But not everyone understands the affiliate world and how it works. In this masterclass, Robby explains why, how and in what ways affiliate marketing can help you earn money. </p>
<p><strong>Module Two: 12 Months Access to Project Platinum AI Software</strong></p>
<p>All trainees will get access to the AI tools and software that Robby and his team have shortlisted. These tools cut the time and effort that is spent on creating new campaigns, analyzing the progress, and changing the strategies. </p>
<p><strong>Module Three: Money Magnet Traffic Training</strong></p>
<p>Here the trainees will learn how to get traffic to your landing pages, with a high chance of ending up with a deal or purchase. It includes Robby’s secrets, tips, and ideas from other successful marketers that turned out a hit. </p>
<p><strong>Module Four: $250K Elite Platinum Offers</strong></p>
<p>Next, Robby teaches how to make the best offers that pay thousands of dollars, with negotiations, and earn profits. You will also learn how to get rid of the boring, low-profit products that are a waste of time waste. </p>
<p><strong>Module Five: Project Platinum Coaching Group</strong></p>
<p>All trainees will get immediate access to a private group which is created for sharing ideas, and problems and helping other trainees in this program. It helps build a strong community focused on helping each other grow. You may also read the success stories and tips here on how your fellow members are making good money. You can also share your story or issues, asking others to help you with a solution. </p>
<p><strong>Module Six: 7 Figure Platinum Case Studies</strong></p>
<p>Next, there are some case studies added for the Project Platinum users to understand how an ideal campaign should work. These case studies belong to Robby and his students and share valuable lessons on setting up an online business. Some of these case studies are of people with no background knowledge or experience of the affiliate world. This can be inspiring for the newbies that want to do something for themselves. </p>
<p><strong>Module Seven: Instant Scale Training</strong></p>
<p>Finally, the trainees will get basic training for scaling up the efforts and profits too. If a person is earning $10 daily, this scaling-up training will help him reach $100 or even $1000 per day. The profit has no limits, and with more intensive personal efforts, you may also reach thousands of dollars in a single day.</p>

<h2>How Expensive Is Project Platinum? </h2>
<p>Project Platinum is all set to launch and accept trainees through an online application and registration system. Remember, this is not free training, and the things it teaches are expensive. You can pay a one-time fee that is $2,497 or choose to pay installments. These installments are $997 every 30 days for three months. </p>
<p>Trusting an online program can be risky. This risk decreases when the company gives a full guarantee of its product. For example, Project Platinum comes with a money-back guarantee so that people stop hesitating to try it.</p>
<p>It requires some conditions that are fully explained on the official website. According to this information, only those participants that failed to join the training or the Facebook support group are eligible to get a refund. If you start attending the program the company will not accept your refund request. </p>
<p>The users of the previous program, Commission Hero, upgraded to Project Platinum, are also eligible for this refund. It is only granted to the new trainees that failed to join the course after registration and payment of the fee. </p>
<h2>Bonuses For Project Platinum Trainees</h2>
<p>Following are some bonuses that all trainees will get. There is no need to look for these or ask for these bonuses. All the new orders will automatically be considered for main components as well as bonuses.</p>
<p>Here is a sneak peek of the Project Platinum bonuses.</p>

<p><strong>Bonus #2: YouTube 6-Week Masterclass</strong></p>

<p><strong>Bonus #3: Project Platinum Landing Page Builder</strong></p>

<p><strong>Special Bonus: A Vacation!</strong></p>

<p>The Federal Reserve this week increased interest rates for the ninth time since last year and shows no indication of rate cuts this year despite lingering recession fears. As the macroeconomic backdrop remains uncertain, investors could consider buying fundamentally strong, dividend-paying stocks Walmart (WMT), Elevance Health (ELV), and Canon (CAJ) for solid gains. Continue reading….</p>
<p><span>Despite the recent banking crisis, the Fed approved another interest rate hike to control elevated inflation. Amid the Fed’s persistent hawkish stance and bank stress, the odds of a recession are increasing. Despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally sound, dividend-paying stocks Walmart Inc. (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMT/" rel="noopener"><span>WMT</span></a><span>), Elevance Health, Inc. (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ELV/" rel="noopener"><span>ELV</span></a><span>), and Canon Inc. (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CAJ/" rel="noopener"><span>CAJ</span></a><span>) for steady returns.</span></p>
<p><span>In an effort to combat persistently high inflation, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the ninth consecutive time by a quarter point on Wednesday despite the recent turmoil in the financial sector. This takes the benchmark federal funds rates to a range of 4.75% to 5%, the highest level since September 2007.</span></p>
<p><span>Fed Chair Jerome Powell said, “</span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/22/fed-rate-hike-decision-march-2023.html" rel="noopener"><span>rate cuts are not in our base case</span></a><span>” for the remainder of 2023 despite several economists urging the Fed to pause rate hikes due to concerns of overcorrecting the economy into recession. The Fed’s </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-23/new-fed-forecasts-suggest-central-bank-is-bracing-for-recession?leadSource=uverify%20wall" rel="noopener"><span>prediction for the economy’s expansion</span></a><span> this year has also fallen from 0.5% in December to 0.4%.</span></p>
<p><span>Chief economist at Goldman Sachs Group, Jan Hatzius, has raised the probability of a recession in the next 12 months from the previous estimate of 25% to 35%, citing </span><a target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-us-recession-odds-gdp-103733584.html" rel="noopener"><span>heightened near-term uncertainty</span></a><span> around the economic impacts of the banking crisis.</span></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, Stephanie Pomboy, who worked at ISI Group for over a decade and is one of several experts sounding the alarm on stocks and the economy, expects stocks to plunge 30% this year. Meanwhile, Jeremy Grantham, an esteemed market historian and veteran investor, anticipates a more dire scenario, forecasting a </span><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-everything-bubble-crash-recession-fed-rates-pomboy-2023-3" rel="noopener"><span>50% decline in the S&amp;P 500</span></a><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Investors seeking to navigate a volatile macroeconomic landscape might consider buying quality, dividend-paying stocks WMT, ELV, and CAJ for stable returns. Let’s evaluate what factors make these featured stocks worthy of investment.</span></p>
<p><b>Walmart Inc. (</b><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMT/" rel="noopener"><b>WMT</b></a><b>)</b></p>
<p><span>WMT dispenses a diverse array of merchandise and amenities through the retail and e-commerce channels, catering to a wide range of customers with its cost-effective Everyday Low-Price scheme. It operates through three segments, Walmart U.S.; Walmart International; and Sam&#8217;s Club.</span></p>
<p><span>On March 2, WMT announced its plan to open 28 new Walmart Health centers by 2024, which is expected to expand its reach to two new states, Missouri and Arizona, while strengthening its presence in Texas. The move could significantly bolster the company&#8217;s operational capabilities, with more than 75 such centers by the end of 2024.</span></p>
<p><span>On February 28, WMT and Citigroup (</span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/stock/C/" rel="noopener"><span>C</span></a><span>) announced their partnership to offer the </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.citigroup.com/global/news/press-release/2023/walmart-and-citi-introduce-the-bridge-built-by-citi-platform-to-walmart-suppliers" rel="noopener"><span>Bridge built by Citi platform</span></a><span> to WMT&#8217;s 10,000 Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) in the U.S.-based supplier network. The alliance should enable WMT&#8217;s suppliers to access the necessary capital to grow, thus driving the company&#8217;s expansion.</span></p>
<p><span>Also, on February 21, the company announced an annual </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp#:~:text=A%20dividend%20is%20a%20reward%20paid%20to%20the,be%20allocated%20to%20the%20shareholders%20as%20a%20dividend." rel="noopener"><span>dividend</span></a><span> of $2.28 per share for fiscal 2024, a 2% increase over the previous fiscal year&#8217;s payout of $2.24 per share. WMT’s annual dividend of $2.28 yields 1.63% on the current price level. It has a long history of increasing dividends for 49 consecutive years.</span></p>
<p><span>For the fourth quarter that ended January 31, 2023, WMT’s total revenues increased 7.3% year-over-year to $164.05 billion. Its income before income taxes rose 86.2% from the year-ago value to $8.90 billion. In addition, the company’s consolidated net income grew 59.9% year-over-year to $5.81 billion, while its adjusted EPS came in at $1.71, up 11.8% year-over-year.</span></p>
<p><span>The consensus revenue estimate of $649.91 billion for the fiscal year ending January 2025 reflects a 3.5% year-over-year improvement. Likewise, the consensus EPS estimate of $6.79 for the next year indicates an 11.2% rise year-over-year. Moreover, the company surpassed its consensus EPS estimates in three of four trailing quarters.</span></p>
<p><span>The stock has gained 8.1% over the past six months to close the last trading session at $140.65.</span></p>
<p><span>WMT’s strong fundamentals are apparent in its </span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/" rel="noopener"><span>POWR Ratings</span></a><span>. The stock has an overall rating of A, equating to a Strong Buy in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, each weighted to an optimal degree.</span></p>
<p><span>WMT has an A grade for Stability and a B for Sentiment and Quality. It ranks #2 in the A-rated 37-stock </span><a target="_blank" href="https://stocknews.com/category/grocery-big-box-retailers/" rel="noopener"><span>Grocery/Big Box Retailers</span></a><span> industry.</span></p>
