American Electric Power boosts dividend 8.1% to push yield above utilities sector's
American Electric Power Co. Inc. said Tuesday it will raise its quarterly dividend by 8.1% to 67 cents a share from 62 cents a share. The new dividend will be payable Dec. 10 to shareholders of record on Nov. 9. The Ohio-based public utility's stock rose 0.6% in afternoon trade. At current prices, the new annual dividend rate would imply a dividend yield 3.64%, compared with the SPDR Utilities Select Sector ETF's yield of 3.35% and the implied yield for the S&P 500 of 2.00%, according to FactSet. American Electric Power shares have rallied 6.0% over the past three months, while the utilities ETF has gained 4.4% and the S&P 500 has slipped 2.2%.

Kroger's seasonal hiring plan of over 10,000 employees down sharply from last year
Kroger Co. said Tuesday it will hire more than 10,000 seasonal employees for the holiday season, which represents a big decline from last year's seasonal hiring plans. This year's seasonal hires will be in areas including customer service support, e-commerce, merchandising, operations and the pharmacy. The supermarket chain said interested candidates should apply for seasonal jobs at "jobs.kroger.com." Last year, the company had estimated hiring 14,000 seasonal employees for the holidays. Kroger's stock rose 1.2% in afternoon trade. It has rallied 33% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 6.9%.

Materials sector briefly dips into bear-market territory as Trump bump fades
The materials sector briefly slipped into bear-market territory earlier Tuesday, before paring some losses, but was still on track for the lowest close in 17 months. The SPDR Material Select Sector ETF was down as much as 3.1% at an intraday low of $51.03, which was 20.4% below the Jan. 26 record close of $64.09. Declines of 20% or more from a bull-market peak are viewed by many on Wall Street as defining a bear market. The sector tracker (XLB) bounced slightly since, and was down 1.2% at $52.05 in afternoon trade, which was 18.8% below its record, and on track for the lowest close since May 18, 2017. The materials sector was seen as one of the most promising in a Trump presidency, as it includes companies that would benefit from infrastructure spending, including building a border wall, and from measures to boost the mining industries. But after running up 21.8% in 2017, to outpace the S&P 500's 19.4% rise, the XLB has tumbled 14.0% so far this year, compared with a 2.1% rise in the S&P 500.

Look at Caterpillar Inc., plunging 9.4 percent after saying third-quarter income rose more than expected.

While often a haven, earnings season can also be a dicey proposition for traders: however good the news, most of it is known before companies start reporting.
