    Consumer-Staples Stocks: Never Let Them See You Sweat

    Last week was a tough one for consumer-staples stocks, with the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP) losing nearly 3% on Thursday alone. The sector was hit from all sides, with disappointing tobacco volumes from Philip Morris International (PM), lackluster organic-sales growth guidance  from Procter & Gamble (PG), as well as plenty of downgrades, for companies including Kraft Heinz (KHC), Smucker (SJM), and Campbell Soup (CPB).  Credit Suisse's Robert Moskow was responsible for those three downgrades, and on Monday he reiterated that consumer-staples stocks could see more pain ahead. Moskow writes that he got plenty of questions from investors after his downgrades last week about how much more the multiples on consumer-staples stocks can contract.

    Why PG’s Earnings Dragged KMB, CL, CLX, and CHD Down

    Procter & Gamble (PG) reported weak sales and earnings growth in fiscal 3Q18 (period ended March 31, 2018) on April 19, 2018. The company’s stock fell 4.2% after the release and closed at $74.95. Procter & Gamble’s soft organic sales and tepid margin performance sent the stocks of other major CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies down as investors fear that price competition, business reinvestment needs, and inflation in commodities and transportation costs are likely to dent the financials of these companies.

    Tobacco-stock selloff sets consumer-staples sector up for worst session in two months

    According to FactSet, Thursday is poised to be the worst trading session in the history of Phillip Morris since being spun off from Altria Group Inc. in March of 2008. The drop weighed on Altria, which sank 8.3%. The staples sector was also pressured by Procter & Gamble Co. , which lost 2.9% after it agreed to acquire a consumer-health business from Germany's Merck in a $4.2 billion deal.

    Will Philip Morris’s 1Q18 Earnings Boost Its Stock Price?

    Philip Morris International (PM), an American tobacco company, is scheduled to announce its 1Q18 earnings before the market opens on April 19, 2018. In 4Q17, Philip Morris posted adjusted EPS (earnings per share) of $1.31 on revenues of $8.29 billion. The increase of 3.8% in total shipment volume, growth in RRP (reduced risk products) sales, and better-than-expected revenue in 4Q17 appear to have increased investors’ confidence, leading to a rise in the company’s stock price.

    First-Quarter Sector Snapshot: Two Areas That Made Money

    Putting aside the soon-to-be dismantled telecommunications sector, of the 10 major S&P sectors, only two finished the first quarter in the black--consumer discretionary, and of course tech. Consumer discretionary got a boost from the retail revival earlier this year, as well as outperformance from some bigger components. Nike (NKE) was one of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's five best performers this quarter, while Amazon.com (AMZN) made the S&P 500's  top 10 list. The  Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY) rose 2.6% in the quarter.

    How to Trade a Broken (looking) Market (Hint: Carefully)

    Again very carefully.  Are the new Facebook (FB) privacy disclosures enough?  Or will Mr. Zuckerberg go to Washington?  Stock is now “reasonable” at 18x for 18% 2018e EPS growth.  Maybe you need a bigger cushion here? Amazon (AMZN) is on its on valuation planet, but just broke it’s 50 day moving average hard.  Stock is back where it was all the way back in…January.  Hmmmm. Google (GOOGL) is now getting caught up in the Facebook scandal.  Rightly or wrongly, we don’t know yet, but the stock has broken all support and is on its own.  The stock is only 19.5x e EPS for the next 12 months earnings growth of 30%.  So it is getting in that cheap with a cushion range.

    What’s Driving Consumer Goods and Material Orders Higher?

    Sectors like retail (XRT), including brick and mortar and online retailers (IBUY), are impacted by changes in consumer demand. At the same time, a lower level of demand for consumer goods could impact inflation (TIP) growth and aggregate demand in the economy, eventually leading to a recession. According to the latest conference board LEI report, new orders for consumer goods and materials were reported to have increased for the fourth-straight month to $141.05 billion from $140.98 billion.
