• Up 35%, How Long Can Coca-Cola Continue Crushing the S&P 500?

  Coca-Cola has returned 35% year to date, versus 14% for the S&P 500, its best year since 1996, but the article argues PepsiCo, with a total return of around -3% so far in 2026, has become more attractive on valuation and income. Coca-Cola trades at 29 times earnings compared with PepsiCo's 17, while PepsiCo's dividend yield of 4.2% is higher than Coca-Cola's 2.2%. PepsiCo's revenue growth of 6% in its latest quarter was close to Coca-Cola's 7%, after it cut prices on some items and added healthier ingredients. Both companies hold Dividend King status, with 64 and 54 years of dividend increases respectively, and analysts forecast 4% revenue growth for Coca-Cola in 2026. The author suggests Coca-Cola could struggle to attract additional buyer interest, though its growth is likely enough to keep income-oriented shareholders.

• Why Pool Corp Stock Jumped 10.6% Today

  Pool Corp shares rose as much as 10.6% Thursday morning, while the S&P 500 fell 1.2%, after the company reported better-than-expected third-quarter results. Sales rose 3.7% year over year to $1.50 billion, and diluted earnings were $3.40 per share against an estimate of about $3.36. Price increases helped drive sales as the company passed higher freight costs on to customers, and management reaffirmed its full-year targets. The stock is still down 37% over the past year and 49% over two years, and the author says he is not a fan of the shares.

• Meet the Dividend King Stock That Yields More Than Quintuple the Nasdaq-100. Here's Why It's a Buy in October.

  The article argues that Procter & Gamble (PG) is a dividend stock worth considering for investors seeking steadier prices than the volatile Nasdaq-100. PG's 2.8% dividend yield is well above the Nasdaq-100's 0.5% and the S&P 500's 1%. The company has paid dividends for 136 years and raised them for 70 straight years, qualifying as a Dividend King, and its board recently approved a 3% increase to its April payment, currently $1.0885 per share each quarter. For the fiscal year ended June 30, PG generated $15.1 billion in free cash flow, easily covering its $10.2 billion in dividends. The article credits demand for everyday products like shampoo, razors and diapers with making its results resilient to economic cycles.

• Stocks to Buy : 23 Defensive Plays As US Economy Slows , Bull Market Falters

  Goldman Sachs warns US stocks face a tougher 2027 as both economic growth and earnings growth slow. Q3 GDP is tracking 3.6% per the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow, down from over 6% earlier this summer. Goldman forecasts S&P 500 earnings growth falling from about 29% in 2026 to 18% in 2027, while market breadth has narrowed: 84% of index stocks trade at least 10% below their all-time highs, according to The Kobeissi Letter. Goldman highlights consumer-facing laggards, health care and consumer staples as areas of opportunity, since these have historically held up when growth is positive but decelerating. It lists 23 defensive stocks from those sectors, citing low realized volatility and high free cash flow yields.

• Oil Prices Are Back Above $100 . History Says the Biggest Stock Market Loser May Now Offer the Biggest Upside .

  Oil has traded above $100 a barrel for most of the past month, driven by the Iran war, and energy is the best-performing S&P 500 sector this year with a gain of more than 50%. The author argues oil is rising on supply concerns rather than demand, so energy stocks could fall sharply once the conflict ends, and is less bullish on the sector. By contrast, consumer discretionary (XLY) is the worst-performing sector this year, down 7% and trailing the S&P 500 by roughly 20 percentage points, as annualized inflation of 3.7% in September and near all-time-low consumer sentiment weigh on it. The author points to 2022, when Brent rose 35% while XLY fell 36%, and 2023, when Brent fell about 3% while XLY gained about 40%, as reasons the sector could offer long-term opportunity, while stressing this is not a prediction.

• Boeing is set to report earnings before the bell. Here's what Wall Street expects

  Boeing will report quarterly results before the market opens Tuesday, with investors focused on how quickly it can increase aircraft production, especially the 737 Max. Consensus estimates from LSEG point to a smaller loss than the $5.34 billion net loss in the same period of 2025, with a loss of 21 cents per share and revenue of $23.84 billion expected. Boeing currently produces about 47 737 Max planes a month and aims for more, but CEO Kelly Ortberg said stabilizing output is taking longer than expected, with an increase planned for next year. The FAA recently approved the 737 Max 10, the largest model in the Max family, following the 737 Max 7 approval in August.

• Wall Street Has a New Blockbuster Stock Split Coming in 2027 -- It's an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock That's Up 1,615% in 14 Years

  Meta Platforms (META) said it will carry out a 2-for-1 stock split on January 19, 2027 and create a non-voting Class C common stock, which would help co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg keep his voting control, currently more than 60%. The securities filing says that if he sold some Class B shares to cover a possible tax under California's Proposition 40, a one-time 5% wealth tax on residents with a net worth above $1 billion, his voting control could fall to roughly 53%. Meta also said the Class C shares could help fund its growth without diluting Zuckerberg's voting power, as it plans $135 billion to $145 billion of AI capex this year and reported negative free cash flow in the third quarter. A JPMorgan analyst wrote that Meta should raise capital sooner rather than later to remove an overhang on the stock.
