    3 Big Stock Charts for Monday: Lowe’s, Netflix and Edison International

    The market logged its fourth straight day of gains on Friday, fighting its way a little deeper into record-high territory for the last three. It all feels a bit artificial, but it's not a train anybody dare risk jumping in front of.Source: Shutterstock Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) did more than its fair share of heavy lifting, up nearly 2% after the Federal Trade Commission settled its anti-privacy claim against the company for an affordable $5 billion. More importantly, the settlement puts the nagging matter in the past. Infosys (NYSE:INFY) logged the best gain for the day, however, up more than 6% in response to an impressive first quarter.Weighing the market down more than any other name was Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). Shares of the healthcare company fell 4% on new accusations that it knowingly lied about the cancer risks related to its talc products. It has prompted a criminal probe.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 10 Stocks Driving the Market to All-Time Highs (And Why) As the new week's trading action gets going, however, its the stock charts of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) and Edison International (NYSE:EIX) that merit the closest looks. Here's what's most noteworthy about each. Edison International (EIX)Like most other utility names, Edison International investors enjoyed a fruitful June. Unlike most utility stocks, however, EIX has continued to charge higher in July, avoiding the slowdown that has adversely impacted other names in the business.Shares have finally hit a headwind at fairly well-established technical resistance. And, they're now officially overbought. If traders can pull off a miracle and continue to march higher, however, there's little left to hold the move back until much, much higher. Click to Enlarge * The ceiling in question is right around $71, marked in yellow on both stock charts. That's where Edison peaked in October, and where it stopped advancing last week. * Still, the volume behind the recent rally has been abnormally high. It has been induced by headlines related to last year's wildfires in California, but there's a horde of buyers amassing all the same. * Should EIX manage to break out, there's not another established technical ceiling in place until 2017's highs near $82. Lowe's (LOW)The recent rally from Lowe's is a rather significant, given it has only been in place since late May. Shares are up 16% in just that eight-week stretch. There's room and reason for LOW to continue moving higher, however. In fact, it's more likely to do that -- in spades -- than not. * 10 Best Dividend Stocks to Buy for the Rest of 2019 and Beyond Click to Enlarge * It's apparent on the daily chart, though more so on the weekly chart, that the rebound was prompted by an encounter with a rising support line that extends back to 2017's low. * The same weekly chart also illustrates where the most likely upside targets are. There's a horizontal ceiling near $118, marked in red, then there's the upper boundary of the rising trading channel. * Although the past couple of months have looked and felt overly bullish, the advance is still in its infancy. We don't yet have a MACD crossover on the weekly chart, and we're nowhere near close to being stochastically overbought. Netflix (NFLX)A month and a half ago, Netflix was on the verge of a serious meltdown. A horizontal floor was crumbling, and the 200-day moving average line (plotted in white on both stock charts) was under attack as support. And, both were happening right after NFLX bumped into a horizontal ceiling, plotted as a white dashed line on both stock charts.The stock ended up evading disaster, pushing up and off the 200-day moving average line after all. But, last week, that technical ceiling once again came back into play. It not only capped the rebound effort, but appears to have rekindled the selling. Click to Enlarge * Friday's 1.9% slide was not only a pullback on a day the overall market tide was bullish, it took shape on a suspiciously high level of volume -- particularly for a Friday. * The previous technical floors are still floors. That's the horizontal floor at $342.20, plotted in yellow, and the 200-day moving average line currently at $338.17. * The narrow trading range is well established. Having been in place for a while, any break outside of it could set up a prolonged move to make up for lost time as pent-up action is unleashed.As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

  • China Is Short-Term Trouble for Walmart Stock, but It’s a Great Name to Hold

    China Is Short-Term Trouble for Walmart Stock, but It’s a Great Name to Hold

    By all accounts, one of the biggest and most surprising winners this year is Walmart (NYSE:WMT). On the surface, a brick-and-mortars retailer should have no business doing so well in the era of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). However, a doubter just needs to consult the Walmart stock price. At just under $112, shares have gained over 23% year-to-date.Source: Shutterstock In doing so, Walmart proved one thing: a physical retailer can not only survive the ecommerce onslaught, but they can thrive as well. If you broaden your horizons, WMT stock is emblematic of pockets of resistance in the retail segment. For instance, Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and to a lesser extent Lowe's Companies (NYSE:LOW) have performed well over the years.Naturally, the question is, why? The easy answer (and the best one, in my opinion) is that certain retailers are insulated from ecommerce. I believe most folks buying power tools or renovation materials want to see the products in person before purchasing.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsLogically, the same principle applies to groceries. With WMT being the one-stop-shop, this sentiment benefits Walmart stock. * 7 Retail Stocks to Buy That Are Down in 2019 Additionally, a convenience factor bolsters the case for WMT stock. Currently, ecommerce companies and the online channels for major retailers are battling over shipping times. For instance, a few months back, Walmart introduced free one-day shipping on orders of $35 or more. That move directly counters Amazon's robust shipping offerings, but with one major difference: Amazon requires a costly $119 annual membership, while Walmart does not.As a result, the big-box retailing giant appears poised to deliver the goods, figuratively and literally. However, an old headwind may come back to strike Walmart stock: China. Trade War and Walmart StockBefore we dive into the reasons why the U.S.-China trade war poses problems for WMT stock, let me say this: I'm confident in the company's longer-term outlook. No matter how prevalent ecommerce becomes, there likely will always be a place for the brick-and-mortars.That said, the Walmart stock price has historically gained on the big-box retailer's primary business narrative: selling tons of products at everyday low prices.Thanks to Amazon, that focus has expanded to include online retail channels. Although a smart move, it has stretched Walmart thin. Thus, a poor outcome for future U.S.-China negotiations could hurt WMT.And here's why I'm bringing up this concern. From 2007 through the end of 2015, Walmart's average net margin measured 3.44%. But from 2016 onward, profit margins slipped to 2.21%. The noticeable slip coincided with Walmart's aggressive push to compete directly with Amazon. For example, Walmart announced its intentions to acquire Jet.com on August 2016. Click to EnlargeIn the following year, Walmart introduced free two-day shipping. It also acquired several companies to bolster its online presence. To be fair, these moves have largely served to jumpstart the Walmart stock price. However, you also can't deny that these same moves are costly; hence, the declining margins.So far, management has a freebie for the pricey strategies because Walmart is a volume king. But should the trade war drag on, management has two choices: protect margins or protect volume. They've indicated the former choice, as have most other affected companies.However, that's not an easy choice for WMT stock because Walmart's shoppers aren't exactly high-rollers. Increased prices will negatively impact volume. In turn, that could put pressure on a company unaccustomed to big threats. How to Approach WMT StockIf you're a buy-and-holder, I think you should be concerned but not alarmed. Certainly, a trade war with the world's second-largest economy is always a concern for a retail investment like Walmart stock. At the same time, you can trust this leadership team to guide the company out of trouble, similar to what they did with the ecommerce threat.On the flipside, if you're a trader, I think it makes sense to trim some holdings here. Since the beginning of June, WMT stock has gained nearly 10%. That's a pretty strong number for a blue-chip company. And it's also surprising against a major geopolitical headwind that has not yet found resolution.Because it's important to know that the U.S. and China have only agreed to a truce at the G20 summit. That means a temporary hold on ramping up additional tariffs; the respite does not involve removing existing ones.But China has recently stated that they will only go to the negotiating table once all tariffs have been removed. That's a tough statement, and if President Trump agrees to it, it's not clear how that would hold China accountable for intellectual property theft.Therefore, whatever concerns Walmart had before the G20 summit remains unfortunately valid. That's the single but biggest hold up on me going fully bullish on Walmart stock.As of this writing, Josh Enomoto did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
