Stock futures fall slightly to start August trading with market coming off best month since 2020

Stock futures fell slightly following the market’s best month since 2020 as investors look ahead to another week of key earnings reports and economic data.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell by 67 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures shed around 0.2% and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped by 0.3%.

On Friday, all major indexes gained, posting winning weeks and capping off the best month of the year so far and then some. The Dow gained 6.7% in July, while the S&P 500 added 9.1%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 12.4% as investors rushed into the tech stocks beaten up the most during this bear market. For each index, July’s performances were the best since 2020.

“We are seeing a relief rally in the stock market, as pessimism reached extreme levels, and as longer-term interest rates have been coming back down,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance.

“We believe the rally will last until later in the summer, but as stock prices rebound and it becomes increasingly clear that we are headed for a more typical recession (e.g. one with higher unemployment and nominal GDP dropping close to zero or negative), markets will again have another selloff,” he added. “But until that time, enjoy the rally as it’s likely catching a lot of people off guard.”

This week, investors have more economic data and company earnings to digest. On Monday, companies such as Activision Blizzard, Devon Energy, Loews and more report earnings. Later in the week Uber, Caterpillar, Starbucks, Eli Lilly, Amgen and others also have scheduled reports.

In addition, the Friday nonfarm payrolls report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics will give more insight into the strong labor market. So far this year, the solid growth of jobs has prompted economists to say the U.S. is currently not in a recession, even with two consecutive quarters of negative GDP.

Some of the first quarter’s biggest losers could be the biggest steals, Jim Cramer says

Investors should consider purchasing stock of the first quarter’s biggest losers if the market shows signs of recovering on its own, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Monday.

“This market’s screaming that we’re headed for a [Federal Reserve]-mandated slowdown, that could possibly become a Fed-mandated recession,” the “Mad Money” host said. “If we get more signs that inflation is cooling on its own, like the pullback in oil, then some of the hardest hit stocks might end up looking pretty enticing.”

The first quarter of 2022 was marked by rampant volatility. Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine in February sent commodities prices including oil skyrocketing, while in March the Fed took its first interest rate hike in three years in an attempt to tamp down rising prices. Global Covid outbreaks last month also caused supply chain snarls as factories in key areas like China were forced to shutter.

Fed Chair Jay Powell in late March vowed to take strong action against inflation as needed. 

Adding to the speculative market environment, a key part of the Treasury yield remained inverted on Monday after 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields shifted last week, heightening concerns about a possible recession coming. While inversions have historically preceded some economic recessions, they are not guaranteed indicators.

Cramer said that energy stocks performed the best during the first quarter due to soaring prices, while “recession-resistant” utility stocks also rallied. Cramer also listed the first quarter’s biggest winning and losing companies that are listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.

Here are the winners and losers:

Lowe’s, Tenneco, Tupperware and others

Check out the companies making headlines before the bell:

Lowe’s (LOW) – Lowe’s shares added 1.6% in the premarket after the home improvement retailer beat top and bottom-line estimates for the fourth quarter. Lowe’s earned $1.78 per share, 7 cents above estimates, and issued upbeat full-year guidance as demand for tools and building materials remained elevated.

Tenneco (TEN) – The automotive components maker agreed to be acquired by affiliates of Apollo Global Management (APO) for $20 per share in cash, compared with Tenneco’s Tuesday close of $9.98 per share. The deal is expected to close during the second half of this year. Tenneco soared 91.7% in premarket action.

Tupperware (TUP) – The maker of home storage products saw its shares slump 3% in the premarket following its quarterly earnings report. Tupperware’s revenue was above Street forecasts, but its adjusted profit of 38 cents per share missed estimates by 14 cents amid what the company called “challenging operating conditions.” Tupperware noted it saw both top and bottom-line growth in 2021 despite those challenges.

Palo Alto Networks (PANW) – The cybersecurity software company beat estimates by 9 cents with adjusted quarterly earnings of $1.74 per share and revenue that topped Street forecasts as well. Palo Alto also gave a better-than-expected forecast, and its shares rallied 7.8% in premarket trading.

Virgin Galactic (SPCE) – The space tourism company’s stock jumped 4.1% in premarket action after it reported a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss and improvement in its cash position.

Stellantis (STLA) – The automaker beat its profit targets in the first year following the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot parent PSA Group. It also said it was realizing projected benefits from that combination sooner than originally expected. Its stock surged 6.3% in the premarket.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Sanofi (SNY) – GlaxoSmithKline rose 1.7% in the premarket and Sanofi was up 1.5% following news that the two companies would submit their Covid-19 vaccine to global drug regulators for approval.

Caesars Entertainment (CZR) – The casino operator’s stock jumped 4.5% in premarket trading after the company reported a 63% jump in revenue compared with a year ago, and a narrower loss.

Mosaic (MOS) – The fertilizer producer’s shares slid 5.6% in premarket action after the company’s quarterly earnings and revenue fell below analyst forecasts. Mosaic said it expects upward pricing momentum to continue.

Quest Diagnostics (DGX) – The medical lab operator’s stock was down 2.1% in the premarket after UBS downgraded it to “neutral” from “buy.” UBS cited risk to meeting management’s earnings target for fiscal 2023, given the company’s level of investment in growth.

Kodiak Sciences (KOD) – The drugmaker said a mid-to-late stage trial of its experimental eye drug failed to show it was not inferior to Regeneron’s (REGN) Eylea macular degeneration treatment. Kodiak tumbled 69.2% in premarket trading while Regeneron jumped 4.5%.

Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading.

Casino stocks — Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts saw their shares jump more than 11% and 7%, respectively, after the Macau government said the number of casinos allowed to operate there would remain limited at six. Licenses of the current operators – which include Wynn Macau, Sands China and MGM China – are set to expire this year. Shares of MGM Resorts slipped slightly.

JPMorgan Chase — Shares of the major bank fell more than 5%, dragging down the major equity averages. The sell-off came after the firm posted its smallest quarterly earnings beat in nearly two years and the lender’s chief financial officer lowered guidance on companywide returns. CFO Jeremy Barnum said on a conference call that management expected “headwinds” of higher expenses and moderating Wall Street revenue.

Wells Fargo — The bank stock jumped more than 3% after the company posted quarterly revenue that exceeded analysts’ expectations and a significant jump in profit. Results were helped by a $875 million reserve release that the bank had set aside during the pandemic to safeguard against widespread loan losses.

Citigroup — Citi shares lost 2.5% despite the company reporting a beat on quarterly earnings and revenue. However, the bank also reported net income for the latest quarter dropped 26% to $3.2 billion, citing an increase in expenses.

BlackRock — Shares of the asset manager fell 2.6% after the company reported a quarterly revenue miss of $5.11 billion, versus expectations of $5.16 billion, according to FactSet’s StreetAccount. The company beat earnings estimates, however, and grew its assets under management to above $10 trillion.

Monster Beverage — Shares of Monster Beverage fell 4.5% a day after the company revealed plans to acquire CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective, a craft beer and hard seltzer company, for $330 million in cash. The deal would bring brands such as Jai Alai IPA, Florida Man IPA, Wild Basin Hard Seltzer and others to the Monster beverage portfolio.

Boston Beer Company — The alcoholic beverage company’s shares slid more than 9% a day after the brewer cut its annual earnings outlook, citing high costs related to supply chain issues and waning growth of its hard seltzer brand Truly.

Walt Disney Co — Disney shares dropped 3.8% after Guggenheim downgraded the stock to neutral from buy, citing slowing profit growth in streaming and parks. The firm also cut its price target on Disney to $165 from $205.

Sherwin-Williams — The paint company saw its shares fall nearly 3% after it cut its full-year forecast, citing supply chain issues it expects will persist through the current quarter. Sherwin-Williams also said demand is still strong in most of its end markets.

Domino’s Pizza — Shares of Domino’s Pizza slid 2.8% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the restaurant chain stock to an equal weight rating. “DPZ still embodies many of the characteristics of a great long term growth compounder, we see limited justification for further multiple expansion, especially as DPZ’s sales growth will likely being to normalize after experiencing substantial Covid (and stimulus) benefits in 20/21,” Morgan Stanley said.
