Sam’s Club comes out ahead of Costco (NASDAQ:COST) on chicken; Walmart (NASDAQ:WMT) gains in traffic

Sam’s Club, owned by Walmart, ranked first in a Consumer Reports test of rotisserie chickens, beating out Costco Wholesale. The test looked at products from 10 grocery chains, grading taste, sodium, and packaging. Sam’s Club took the top spot, followed by Costco and Stop & Shop, part of Ahold Delhaize. “Flavor and freshness” and “genuine value” for members are the focus, Sam’s Club divisional meat and seafood manager Shana DeSmit said to USA Today. Looking at parent companies, Walmart had two of the six birds Consumer Reports said were tasty enough to eat on their own: Sam’s Club and Walmart stores. Costco had one, and Amazon.com had one from its Whole Foods Market chain. Ahold Delhaize had one from Stop & Shop. Wegmans is private. The rest in the recipe group came from BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Hannaford, ShopRite, and The Fresh Market. Consumer Reports didn’t find any PFAS in the meat or packaging they checked.

Verizon (NYSE:VZ) trades lower as Starlink selloff overshadows July dividend

U.S. stock markets are closed Friday, July 3, for the Independence Day holiday, leaving Verizon Communications Inc. with no new trading as it heads into the long weekend. Income investors face a big question: is the 6% yield enough while new threats from SpaceX can erase several quarters of dividends in a week? The NYSE calls Friday a 2026 holiday. Verizon last traded at $42.56 as of Thursday’s close, up 1.36% that day but 8.55% lower over five days. Verizon’s Thursday bounce left the week’s trend in place. WSJ data show shares fell from $46.54 on June 26 to $42.56 on July 2. Between June 29 and July 2, about 232 million shares traded, an average of 58 million a day. That’s more than double the 65-day average volume of 26.56 million shares shown by MarketWatch.

Sam’s Club chicken price win gives Walmart (NASDAQ:WMT) edge on Costco (NASDAQ:COST)

Sam’s Club, part of Walmart Inc, took the top spot in Consumer Reports’ rotisserie chicken test, beating Costco Wholesale Corp, whose chickens have been a longtime price play. The key takeaway isn’t that one chicken boosted sales for the quarter.

Dow up but AI-chip slide hits Nasdaq after jobs report

US stock futures set for gains ahead of July 4; chip selloff masks broader move

U.S. stock investors go into the long weekend without the usual premarket session, as exchanges stay closed for Independence Day observed. The last read on futures had buyers stepping in after a weaker jobs report eased worries about a Fed rate hike soon. U.S. stock and bond markets are shut Friday and regular trading starts back up Monday, July 6. The Dow finished at a record, but the bigger story was the split between index price and market breadth. On Thursday, the S&P 500 closed little changed, but over two-thirds of its stocks traded higher. The Nasdaq slipped as traders reduced chip bets. That leaves Monday looking less like a typical risk-on move and more like a check on whether buyers stick with old-economy and defensive names while AI shares feel pressure.
