Walmart stock sinks, wiping $42 billion, raises questions for ad-media value

Walmart stock sinks, wiping $42 billion, raises questions for ad-media value

Walmart Inc. lost 4.7% to $107.99 in New York trading late Wednesday morning, wiping out around $42 billion in market cap from the previous close. That loss is big. The stock is priced like a premium growth play, and even this pullback didn’t change that for some investors. Earlier, MarketWatch listed Walmart’s 52-week range as $94.23 to $135.16. At last check, shares traded roughly 20% under that high. Market cap stood near $864 billion. The stock’s trailing P/E was 37.9.

Opendoor (NASDAQ:OPEN) moves higher as midday trade volume tops recent average

Opendoor Technologies Inc. surged almost 10% by late morning Wednesday, beating gains in homebuilding funds and major indexes. The stock’s move didn’t track cleanly with the U.S. housing sector. Instead, it looked more like a high-short reaction after recent index inclusion and a market trying to adjust to turnaround hopes. Live quotes around 11:50 a.m. EDT showed the split as follows:

General Mills (NYSE:GIS) shares climb after earnings beat, with trade timing in focus

General Mills, Inc. jumped Wednesday as the company topped profit estimates for the quarter. But investors latched onto more than the 95-cent per share figure. The real action was in factors that likely won’t show up again soon: a shift in trade expenses and an added week in the period drove much of the beat. The stock rose 6.8% to $37.17 at 11:34 a.m. EDT. That move topped Kraft Heinz Co., The Campbell's Co., Conagra Brands Inc., PepsiCo Inc. and Mondelez International Inc.. The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund slipped 0.2%.

Social Security July 2026 payment schedule creates $11.5 billion SSI timing shift for investors

Social Security July 2026 payment schedule creates $11.5 billion SSI timing shift for investors

The July Social Security calendar is a cash-timing story for markets. It pulls one August Supplemental Security Income payment into July. It also moves the usual July 3 Social Security date to July 2, so benefit cash hits at both ends of the month. The July 1 payment covers SSI. The July 2 payment covers beneficiaries who started before May 1997 and other exception groups, because the government observes Independence Day on July 3 this year. The standard Social Security birthday waves land on July 8, July 15 and July 22. The August SSI payment goes out July 31 because Aug. 1 falls on a Saturday.

Nike (NYSE:NKE) shakes off earnings dip as tariff boost and receivables in focus

AT&T stock drop draws attention to spectrum deal, dividend payout

AT&T shares were at $20.70 before trading started in New York on Wednesday, down 5.2%.

AT&T holders have to weigh two things: timing around the EchoStar Corp. spectrum close and more selling in U.S. wireless names after SpaceX and Charter Communications Inc. were reported in phone-service talks.

Trump student loan rulings dim private-lender tailwind as graduate caps start

The U.S. stock cash session had not opened at the dateline time. The New York Stock Exchange core session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, leaving student-loan shares to price the court rulings after pre-market checks rather than a full cash-session read. The bigger market issue is not the Public Service Loan Forgiveness headline. It is the June 29 loan-cap list. The Education Department kept the July 1 end of Grad PLUS and the new graduate loan limits in place, but it said listed programs would be treated as professional while a court stay remains in effect.

Kroger (NYSE:KR) Giant Eagle deal prices $9 billion grocer at 0.18 times sales

Kroger (NYSE:KR) Giant Eagle deal prices $9 billion grocer at 0.18 times sales

Kroger agreed to buy family-owned Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion, a small but targeted bet on Pittsburgh, northern Ohio and nearby grocery markets after its larger Albertsons Companies plan died in court. The buyer is paying $1.25 billion in cash and assuming about $400 million of Giant Eagle liabilities, Kroger said. Giant Eagle has about $9 billion in annual sales, 197 supermarkets and 11 standalone pharmacies. The investor angle is the multiple. The price equals about 0.18 times Giant Eagle’s sales and about $7.9 million per reported food-and-pharmacy location. That is a modest balance-sheet outlay for Kroger: $1.65 billion equals about 4.8% of its $34.15 billion market value, based on current market data. Kroger shares were recently down 38 cents at $55.53.
