Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Friday

Accor SA

Deepwater Asset Management&#8217;s managing partners, Gene Munster and Doug Clinton have <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/openais-new-searchgpt-prototype-is-a-declaration-of-war-against-google/articleshow/112024630.cms">downplayed concerns</a> that Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Search could be outdone by OpenAI&#8217;s SearchGPT.
What Happened: On Friday, Munster took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, &#8220;Since it&#8217;s only a 15-second video, it&#8217;s hard to see why SearchGPT is 10x better than Google AI Overviews.&#8221;
He went on to say that in the near term, this revives fears among Google investors that AI could threaten search. However, if the product&#8217;s capabilities are limited to what&#8217;s shown in the teaser, Google is not in any significant danger.

Doug Clinton, the other managing partner at Deepwater, concurred with Munster&#8217;s views. He said that although the SearchGPT video resulted in a minor dip in Google&#8217;s stock, it does not pose a substantial threat to Google&#8217;s AI.
&#8220;It didn&#8217;t seem 10x superior to what I&#8217;m observing&nbsp;from Google and AI overviews,&#8221; Clinton remarked in a separate video.

Top Analyst Says OpenAI's AI-Powered Search Engine Likely Isn't A Threat To Google: 'It's Hard To See Why SearchGPT Is 10X Better…'

The much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO) of billionaire investor Bill Ackman&#8216;s Pershing Square closed-end fund has been postponed, as confirmed by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE.)
What Happened: On Friday, the NYSE announced on its website that the listing of Pershing Square USA Ltd. has been delayed, with a new date yet to be disclosed. 
Pershing Square refrained from commenting further but issued a statement clarifying that the IPO is still proceeding, with the pricing date to be announced later.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947623/lindsey-graham-says-americans-are-struggling-and-our-country-is-heading-in-the-wrong-direction-repla?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lindsey Graham Says &#8216;Americans Are Struggling, And Our Country Is Heading In The Wrong Direction&#8217;</a>
The delay comes amid Ackman&#8217;s concerns about the size of the transaction and the novelty of the structure. He expressed these concerns in a July 24 letter to investors, emphasizing the need for careful analysis and judgment from investors.
The fund is expected to invest in 12 to 24 large-cap, investment-grade, &#8220;durable growth&#8221; companies in North America. The public listing is seen as a move to leverage Ackman&#8217;s following among Main Street investors.
Why It Matters: The IPO delay follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39975768/bill-ackmans-us-fund-ipo-target-slashed-by-90-as-pershing-square-specifically-disclaims-ceos-comment">significant reduction in the fund&#8217;s targe</a>t, which was slashed by as much as 90% from the initial $25 billion. In a letter to investors in his Pershing Square holding company sent on Wednesday, Ackman urged, "This is a moment when you can be very helpful to Pershing Square by participating in the PSUS offering and giving your order to the banks, the sooner the better." However, Pershing Square USA "specifically disclaims" Ackman's statement in the filing that included the letter.
Inspired by Warren Buffett&#8216;s career, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39766570/bill-ackman-says-his-unofficial-mentor-warren-buffett-inspired-him-to-take-pershing-square-funds-pub">Ackman decided to take his funds public.</a> He planned to use his social media presence and a Buffett-like annual meeting to bolster his new investment fund.
Pershing Square USA is a closed-end fund set to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, investing in large, publicly traded stocks that Ackman and his team believe are undervalued. Ackman had previously informed investors that he expected the company to trade at a premium compared to the net assets it held.
Despite the reduction in the IPO target, Ackman remains optimistic about the fund's potential, particularly with the involvement of U.S. retail investors and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39811552/from-warren-buffett-style-annual-meetings-to-social-media-strategy-heres-how-bill-ackman-plans-to-bo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support of institutional investors</a>.

IPOs

Bill Ackman's Warren Buffett-Inspired Strategy Hits A Snag? Pershing Square USA Delays IPO Indefinitely After Slashing Target By 90%

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has strongly refuted allegations of manipulating the issuance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/treasuries">Treasury securities</a>. These accusations were made by economist Nouriel Roubini who suggested that such manipulation was aimed at reducing real borrowing costs across the economy.
What Happened: Yellen dismissed Roubini&#8217;s argument that the Treasury had a strategy to ease financial conditions, in an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-26/yellen-rejects-roubini-claim-of-manipulation-in-treasuries">interview</a> with Bloomberg.
&#8220;I can assure you 100% that there is no such strategy. We have never, ever discussed anything of the sort,&#8221; Yellen said.
The paper, co-authored by Roubini and Stephen Miran, a former Treasury official under President Donald Trump, claimed that the Treasury&#8217;s actions in the fall of last year reduced 10-year Treasury yields by a quarter of a percentage point.
This is roughly equivalent to a full percentage point reduction in the Federal Reserve&#8217;s benchmark rate.

Joshua Frost, the Treasury&#8217;s assistant secretary for financial markets, defended the department&#8217;s actions, stating they were within market participants&#8217; expectations.
Yellen supported Frost&#8217;s statements, saying his speech provided the best explanation for the department&#8217;s approach.
Why It Matters: The allegations against Yellen come in the wake of a series of events that have put her in the spotlight.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39749545/trump-allies-slam-janet-yellen-for-manipulating-treasury-debt-auctions-to-improve-bidens-image">she was accused</a> by Republican lawmakers of manipulating Treasury debt auctions to stimulate the economy and enhance President Joe Biden‘s image. This latest development is a continuation of the scrutiny Yellen has been facing.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38572650/janet-yellen-stands-up-for-feds-autonomy-as-trump-allies-plan-to-gain-more-control">Yellen also defended</a> the Federal Reserve&#8217;s political independence against attempts by Trump allies to undermine it.
In June, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39348581/janet-yellen-dismisses-donald-trumps-proposal-to-replace-income-tax-with-tariffs-the-impact-would-be">publicly criticized Trump&#8217;s proposal</a> to replace parts of the U.S. income tax with increased tariffs on imported goods.
Later that month, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39470021/janet-yellen-says-inflation-to-come-down-to-feds-2-target-by-2025-dismisses-possibility-of-us-recess">expressed confidence</a> in the American economy, dismissing the possibility of a recession and predicting that inflation would reach the Federal Reserve's 2% target by next year.

Treasuries

Economics

Janet Yellen Rejects Economist Roubini's And Trump-Era Official's Claims Of 'Manipulation' In Treasuries: 'We Have Never, Ever Discussed Anything Of The Sort'

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has severed its business ties with One Medical, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/healthcare">primary healthcare provider</a> acquired by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) for $3.9 billion.
What Happened: Google, previously One Medical&#8217;s largest business client, has decided to terminate its enterprise agreement with the healthcare company following Amazon&#8217;s acquisition of One Medical last year, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-drops-amazon-one-medical-2024-7">reported</a> Business Insider.
The agreement, which offered Google employees discounted or free One Medical memberships and operated One Medical care centers at some Google office locations, is set to expire at the end of 2024.
Google was an early supporter of One Medical and was its largest business customer for many years. Until 2020, One Medical disclosed that Google accounted for 10% of its net revenue.
In 2021, that dipped below 10%, and then One Medical stopped publicly sharing financials after Amazon acquired it.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39940874/gileads-42-5k-priced-hiv-drug-could-be-made-at-just-40-annually-campaigners-urge-company-to-slash?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gilead&#8217;s $42.5K Priced HIV Drug Could Be Made At Just $40 Annually</a>
A Google spokesperson confirmed to the publication that the existing relationship with One Medical is changing after 2024 but stressed that the decision has nothing to do with Amazon&#8217;s new ownership of the healthcare provider.
The existing One Medical centers on Google&#8217;s campus have already transitioned to Premise Health to provide more services like pharmacy, gynecology, and coordinated care on-site, the spokesperson added.
An Amazon spokesperson told Business Insider that Google employees and their dependents will continue to have One Medical memberships &#8220;sponsored&#8221; by their employer through the end of 2024.
Why It Matters: The termination of Google&#8217;s business relationship with One Medical comes amid significant changes within the healthcare provider.
In September, CEO Amir Dan Rubin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34166966/amazons-one-medical-ceo-departs-amid-significant-leadership-shift">stepped down</a> from One Medical after six years at the helm, a little over a year after Amazon&#8217;s acquisition.
This leadership shift was followed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/36971965/amazon-implements-major-job-cuts-in-one-medical-and-pharmacy-units-to-save-100m">major job cuts</a> in February, as part of a cost-saving initiative aiming to save One Medical $100 million.

Google Cuts Ties With Amazon-Owned One Medical, But Clarifies It Is Not Due To E-Commerce Giant's $3.9B Acquisition

Following President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">withdraw from the 2024 presidential race</a>, a poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal indicates that former President Donald Trump has a slight edge over Vice President Kamala Harris.
What Happened: The poll <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/harris-erases-trumps-lead-wsj-poll-finds-e286144d?mod=e2tw">results</a> published on Friday revealed that Trump has the support of 49% of registered voters, while Harris trails slightly behind with 47%. The WSJ poll, conducted from July 23-25, surveyed 1,000 registered voters with a margin of error&nbsp;of ±3.1 percentage points.
The latest poll also showed a significant rise in Harris&#8217;s favorability among registered voters, jumping 11 points to 46%. In comparison, Trump&#8217;s favorability was at 47% and Biden&#8217;s at 39%.

North Korea Says &#8216;We Do Not Care,&#8217; Expresses Nuclear Readiness Amid Rising Tension With US</a>
In a ballot test featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alongside other independent and third-party candidates, Harris secured 45% of the vote, while Trump received 44%. Kennedy garnered just 4%, and 5% of voters remained undecided. 
In the last poll, Biden trailed by six points in the multicandidate contest, the report noted.
Why It Matters: The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39973800/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-gains-ground-lost-by-joe-biden-in-swing-states">race between Trump and Harris</a>&nbsp;is shaping up to be a close one, with Harris making up ground lost by Biden in head-to-head matchups against Trump. 
President Biden&#8217;s campaign was plagued by a lackluster debate performance and concerns about his age and mental fitness, leading to his withdrawal last week.
Since Biden&#8217;s exit, Harris has garnered several key endorsements from her party, experienced a surge in fundraising, and secured enough delegate commitments to secure the nomination.
Meanwhile, Trump has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947274/trump-takes-aim-at-kamala-harris-in-first-rally-post-bidens-exit-calls-her-a-radical-left-lunatic-vp">criticizing Harris</a>&nbsp;on immigration and inflation issues, labeling her as a &#8220;radical-left lunatic.&#8221;
There has also been speculation about whether Trump might&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979544/can-trump-replace-jd-vance-amid-kamala-harris-picking-pace-experts-warn-that-could-be-extraordinaril">replace his vice presidential candidate</a>, Sen.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing PayPal Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PayPal Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.82%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.27 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Owens-Corning's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Owens-Corning's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.00%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(KSS) - Analyzing Kohl's's Short Interest

Accor SA (ACRFF) Q1 2024 Sales/Trading Statement Call Transcript

Accor SA goes ex dividend tomorrow

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
In March, GQ released its list of the 20 most creative companies worldwide. I&rsquo;m going to turn those into top stock picks for the second half of 2024 and beyond.&nbsp;




&ldquo;We&rsquo;re showcasing the companies around the world that are leveraging creativity in order to drive business and make the world a better place. What do we mean by creativity? Ingenuity. Innovation. Originality. Fearlessness,&rdquo; GQ&rsquo;s Alex Hoyt and Jaimie Ding <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/the-20-most-creative-companies-in-the-world">wrote</a> on March 27.&nbsp;




Of the companies on the list, I believe 11 of them are listed on a stock exchange in the U.S. or elsewhere.&nbsp;



The names on the list I won&rsquo;t recommend include Tesla (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/">TSLA</a>), Prada (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/prdsy-stock-quote/">PRDSY</a>), Nintendo (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ntdoy-stock-quote/">NTDOY</a>), Apple (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/">AAPL</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/msft-stock-quote/">MSFT</a>). That&rsquo;s three from Magnificent Seven and two other popular consumer brands.&nbsp;



The three names that I&rsquo;m going with are great creators, but also brilliant business operators, whose shares will go up more often than down over the long haul.&nbsp;



<h2>New York Times Co. (NYT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/nyt-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of a person reading the Feb. 16, 2020 issue of the New York Times."><div>Source: pio3 / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Having worked in the publishing industry for over a decade, I marvel at how the New York Times Co. (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nyt-stock-quote/">NYT</a>) has managed to survive &mdash; and even thrive &mdash; while so many news outlets have gone belly up.&nbsp;




&ldquo;We think the Times should be the essential subscription for every curious English-speaking person around the world,&rdquo; NYT Chief product officer Alex Hardiman told GQ.&nbsp;




Full disclosure: I subscribe to the Times. While it&rsquo;s primarily for my work endeavors, I do enjoy all the arts and leisure coverage, and we can&rsquo;t forget the puzzles. But most importantly, as Hoyt and Ding wrote, it earns over $2 billion from its 10 million customers.



However, beyond some headline numbers, I know very little about the company founded by Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones in <a href="https://www.nytco.com/company/history/our-history/">1851</a>. In 1896, Adolph S. Ochs acquired the paper for $75,000.&nbsp;



He and his grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who was <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Arthur-Ochs-Sulzberger">publisher</a> for nearly 30 years, from 1963 to 1992, made the paper the respected publication it is today.



Due to the dual-class share structure, the company is <a href="https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2024/03/427084-1_5_New-York-Times-Proxy_WR_R02-Final.pdf">controlled</a> by the Ochs-Sulzerger Trust.



Importantly, its adjusted operating profit margin in <a href="https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2024/05/Q124-Earnings-Release-Final-For-Distribution-rhHXIYbe.pdf">Q1 2024</a> was 12.8%, 320 basis points higher than a year ago.&nbsp;



<h2>Deckers Outdoor (DECK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/deckers-outdoor-deck-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Deckers Outdoor (DECK) logo displayed on smartphone screen"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Piotr Swat</div></div>Deckers Outdoor (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/deck-stock-quote/">DECK</a>) is one of my favorite companies, primarily because of its Hoka performance running shoes, not its UGG brand shoes.&nbsp;



In <a href="https://investorplace.com/2022/08/stock-splits-7-companies-that-should-follow-teslas-lead/">August 2022</a>, I suggested that Deckers ought to split its stock to increase its liquidity and share count. At the time, it traded around $326. It&rsquo;s now trading nearly $1,000. When Hoka was acquired in 2013, management thought the brand&rsquo;s revenues might be able to hit $100 million some day.&nbsp;



In late May, it reported <a href="https://ir.deckers.com/news-events/press-releases/press-release/2024/DECKERS-BRANDS-REPORTS-FOURTH-QUARTER-AND-FULL-FISCAL-YEAR-2024-FINANCIAL-RESULTS/">Q4 2024</a> results. Hoka&rsquo;s revenues in the fourth quarter alone were $533 million. For the entire year they were $1.81 billion, 18x the company&rsquo;s goal a decade ago.




&ldquo;Now, in addition to winning over athletes (Hoka is the official shoe of Ironman Triathlons), the brand is hot with the fashion set&mdash;they&rsquo;re doling out buzzy collabs with streetwear darlings Brain Dead and lining the shelves of boutiques like Nepenthes in New York and The Broken Arm in Paris,&rdquo; GQ reported.&nbsp;








If Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) can do a 10-for-1 split, Deckers should too. It&rsquo;s a keeper.



<h2>LVMH (LVMUY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/lvmh_lvmuy_1600-300x169.jpg" alt="The logo for the luxury goods holding company LVMH is seen through a magnifying glass on the company's website."><div>Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Bernard Arnault &mdash; the CEO of LVMH (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lvmuy-stock-quote/">LVMUY</a>) and the world&rsquo;s third-wealthiest person with a net worth of <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">$199 billion</a> &mdash; took a big risk in <a href="https://www.thefashionlaw.com/lvmh-a-timeline-behind-the-building-of-a-conglomerate/">1984</a>, buying Christian Dior&rsquo;s bankrupt parent, Boussac, for $60 million. $15 million of that came from his family&rsquo;s construction business, and $45 million from Lazard Fr&egrave;res, a French financial institution.



He then went and cut 9,000 workers from the payroll, sold off non-core businesses for $500 million, and made Dior the foundation of his luxury empire.




&ldquo;In the 90s, I had the idea of a luxury group and at the time I was very much criticized for it. I remember people telling me it doesn&rsquo;t make sense to put together so many brands. And it was a success &hellip; And for the last 10 years now, every competitor is trying to imitate, which is very rewarding for us. I think they are not successful but they try,&rdquo; Arnault <a href="https://www.maxim.com/news/bernard-arnault-2019-3/">told CNBC</a> in 2018.




As GQ points out, LVMH has moved beyond luxury fashion into luxury experiences such as its work with Accor (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/accyy-stock-quote/">ACCYY</a>) to build the <a href="https://www.lvmh.com/news-documents/news/lvmh-and-accor-join-forces-to-take-orient-express-to-new-horizons/">Orient Express brand</a>, which will include future hotels, trains and sailing ships.&nbsp;



LVMH currently offers luxury experiences and hospitality through its Belmond brand, which it acquired for $3.2 billion, including the assumption of debt, in <a href="https://www.lvmh.com/news-documents/press-releases/lvmh-reaches-an-agreement-with-belmond-to-increase-its-presence-in-the-ultimate-hospitality-world/#:~:text=LVMH%20is%20to%20acquire%20Belmond,adjusted%20EBITDA%20of%20%24140%20million.">2019</a>.&nbsp;



It&rsquo;s an amazing business.&nbsp;

3 Top Stock Picks to Invest in the World's Most Creative Companies

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
<a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-discretionary/retail/">Retail stocks</a> to buy now are still worth betting on despite the economic headwinds.



The last few years have put the retail industry through the wringer, weighing down company valuations. Initially, the pandemic forced widespread shutdowns and drove countless retailers into bankruptcy. We saw a brief phase of &lsquo;revenge shopping&rsquo; thereafter. But it was quickly overshadowed by the most severe inflation spike in four decades.



Hence, the retail investing landscape remains fraught with challenges, especially as the Fed continues maintaining interest rates near multi-year highs. The current financial environment forces consumers to tighten their belts, complicating things for retail businesses.



Despite the turbulence, these three standout retail stocks are bucking the trend, offering healthy upside potential. They&rsquo;ve remained resilient in the face of the current economic tremors. Furthermore, they continue to deliver strong operating results while rewarding their shareholders handsomely in the process.



<h2>Walmart (WMT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/wmt-stock-6-300x169.jpg" alt='An image of a large tan Walmart store front on a bright clear day with empty handicap parking spaces, trees, bushes, and blue poles in front and a large white "Walmart" sign and logo with six yellow lines forming a circle above the entrance.'><div>Source: Tupungato / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Walmart (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wmt-stock-quote/">WMT</a>) continues to prove naysayers wrong as it stamps its authority in the retail space. Despite being up against inflationary pressures and other economic headwinds, it continues to grow its top-and-bottom lines at an impressive pace.



In its most recent quarterly showing, sales were <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/05/16/walmart-releases-q1-fy25-earnings">up 6% year-over-year (YOY)</a>, led by breathtaking growth in its eCommerce wing. Revenue from eCommerce jumped 21% YOY, with the retail titan concluding the quarter with a superb $5.1 billion in net income.



A lot of the firm&rsquo;s success is linked to its competitively priced products, while it continues boosting its eCommerce capabilities to stay ahead of the competition. Additionally, the firm has enriched its customer experience with Walmart+, a subscription service offering perks like quick checkout and free delivery. On top of that, its advertising segment also continues firing, marked by a solid 24% YOY increase.



Also, you can&rsquo;t forget its trusted dividend, <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/02/20/walmart-raises-annual-dividend-9-percent-to-83-per-share-the-largest-increase-in-over-10-years-marking-51st-consecutive-year-of-dividend-increases#:~:text=of%20Dividend%20Increases-,Walmart%20Raises%20Annual%20Dividend%209%20Percent%20to%20%240.83%20per%20Share,Consecutive%20Year%20of%20Dividend%20Increases&amp;text=%E2%80%9CDividends%20continue%20to%20be%20a,for%20the%2051st%20consecutive%20year.">which it recently bumped by 9%</a>, marking its 51st consecutive year of dividend growth.



<h2>Costco (COST)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/cost1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A Costco Wholesale (COST) warehouse in Auburn Hills, Michigan."><div>Source: ilzesgimene / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Costco&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cost-stock-quote/">COST</a>) has been one of the biggest stars in the retail sector, and, like Walmart, it has impressively expanded its online presence. 



As a veteran in the big-box retail space, the firm effectively leverages its membership business model and cost-effective strategies to maintain its competitive pricing power. Consequently, it operates a stable business, with its top-and-bottom-line metrics near their historical averages. In addition, it has been a highly rewarding investment, yielding <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/COST/momentum/performance">more than 825% in total returns</a> to its shareholders.



Recently, Costco&rsquo;s standout performance in the eCommerce arena has grabbed headlines with its stellar revenue surge. <a href="https://investor.costco.com/news/news-details/2024/Costco-Wholesale-Corporation-Reports-Third-Quarter-and-Year-to-Date-Operating-Results-for-Fiscal-2024/default.aspx">For Q3 </a>of fiscal year 2024, the retail giant reported a commendable 9.1% increase in net sales, reaching $57.4 billion, with eCommerce sales surging by 20.7% YOY.



Moreover, in expanding its eCommerce presence, it plans to increase its warehouse count to 890 by the end of the year, up 3.3% from the prior year. These savvy measures underscore Costco&rsquo;s commitment to growth and accessibility, solidifying its market position despite the challenges.



<h2>LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton (LVMUY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/lvmuy-1600-300x169.png" alt="Louis Vuitton storefront featuring an LV handbag. LVMUY stock."><div>Source: Vietnam stock photos / Shutterstock</div></div>LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lvmuy-stock-quote/">LVMUY</a>) is arguably one of the top go-to picks in the luxury retail space. Housing brands like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior has effectively maintained and built brand affinity. And, its disciplined approach to managing its pricing strategies and product expansions has safeguarded its premium appeal. Despite the inflationary pressures impacting discretionary spending, LVMUY&rsquo;s results have held up remarkably well, boasting robust double-digit profitability metrics.



In recent years, LVMH has sought to expand its influence beyond high-end fashion into luxury experiences. This transformative move is exemplified by its collaboration with global hospitality giant Accor&nbsp;(OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/accyy-stock-quote/">ACCYY</a>) to rejuvenate the historic Orient Express brand. 



This move entails opening new hotels, trains and sailing ships, efficiently diversifying LVMH&rsquo;s massive portfolio. Additionally, LVMH&rsquo;s strategic acquisition of the Belmond brand <a href="https://www.lvmh.com/news-documents/press-releases/lvmh-reaches-an-agreement-with-belmond-to-increase-its-presence-in-the-ultimate-hospitality-world/#:~:text=LVMH%20is%20to%20acquire%20Belmond,adjusted%20EBITDA%20of%20%24140%20million.">just before the pandemic</a> highlights its bold dive into luxury hospitality. Therefore, this further infuses its retail portfolio with supreme travel experiences.

Buy Rating on Accor SA: Undervalued Shares with Strong Financial Outlook and Re-rating Potential

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Promising new IPOs are once again on everyone&rsquo;s mind after a healthy first half, which <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/ipos/statistics/">saw 96 IPOs registered in the U.S.,</a> with <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/nasdaq-welcomes-66-ipos-first-half-2024-2024-07-02">66 IPOs filed on the Nasdaq alone,</a> netting $8.7 billion, clearly indicating investor confidence is on its way back.



IPOs are sluggish in Asia-Pacific but growing in the Americas and EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa). Global IPO volumes <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_gl/newsroom/2024/06/global-ipo-divergence-widens-as-americas-and-emeia-surge-and-asia-pacific-slows#:~:text=Globally%2C%20in%20the%20first%20half,seeing%20robust%20growth%20in%20H1.">fell 12% in the first half of 2024,</a> while proceeds fell 16% year-over-year due to reduced Asia-Pacific activity.



The message is clear: America is still the place to raise IPO funds. Biotech alone witnessed 10 deals for $1.6 billion in Q1 2024. Rising equity markets and investor appetite for large, well-publicized mergers back this comeback; seven Q1 2024 IPOs <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_us/insights/ipo/ipo-market-trends">raised above $500 million</a> each in Q1&rsquo;24.



Tempus AI (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tem-stock-quote/">TEM</a>), a healthcare technology startup, <a href="https://www.tempus.com/news/pr/tempus-announces-pricing-of-initial-public-offering/">surged dramatically</a> after its Nasdaq IPO, as did Reddit (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rddt-stock-quote/">RDDT</a>), <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/reddit-set-hotly-anticipated-debut-after-pricing-ipo-top-range-2024-03-21/#:~:text=Shares%20of%20the%20San%20Francisco,selling%20shareholders%20raised%20%24748%20million.">which raised $748 million</a> in its IPO.



The 2024 IPO market <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/reddit-shein-and-stripe-may-lead-a-revived-ipo-market-in-2024-9ca8693c">should be busy,</a> according to Renaissance Capital; 120 to 170 IPOs might raise $20 to $45 billion. Thus, promising new IPOs are ones to watch out for. For our analysis of promising new IPOs, we&rsquo;ll concentrate on American markets due to their size and performance this year.



<h2>Stripe</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/online-banking-1600-300x169.png" alt="Online banking. Person using online banking platform on phone"><div>Source: PopTika / Shutterstock</div></div>Stripe might debut on the U.S. markets in either 2024 or 2025, with a decision expected within the year, company founders have informed employees.



After Stripe purchased employee stocks <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stripe-valuation-jumps-to-65-billion-in-employee-share-sale-deal-65255c94">worth over $65 billion in 2021,</a> the firm was valued at $95 billion, notwithstanding market fluctuations. Stripe&rsquo;s IPO might raise $2.5 billion at a value of $55 to $60 billion.



Over 21 rounds, Stripe has funded $9.4 billion, including $6.5 billion in 2023. The company has many business divisions after 67 investments, including recent ones in Remark and Vengo AI.



To develop U.K. businesses and services, Stripe released an <a href="https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/tour-london-2024#:~:text=Today%2C%20Stripe%20launched%20its%20first,directly%20from%20their%20bank%20account.">open banking-powered payment</a> method. Its sophisticated fraud prevention and detection ensure payment security and timeliness, giving it an additional edge in the new market.



As their main international payments partner, Stripe has partnered with Accor (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/accyy-stock-quote/">ACCYY</a>) and extended its enterprise offerings to France.



Tracking behind PayPal (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pypl-stock-quote/">PYPL</a>) but ahead of Block (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sq-stock-quote/">SQ</a>) and Adyen (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/adyey-stock-quote/">ADYEY</a>), Stripe <a href="https://capitaloneshopping.com/research/stripe-statistics/">has 17.4% of the</a> U.S. payment processing market. The firm processes over $1 trillion in payments in 2023, making it a worldwide player.



Finally, <a href="https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/sessions-2024">over 50 product announcements</a> came from the 2024 Stripe Sessions. Connect advances payment and platform technologies driven by artificial intelligence. In 23 countries, Stripe debuted Stripe Reader S700 using Oracle Opera and Adobe Commerce.



<h2>Skims</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/kim-kardashian-sec1600-300x169.png" alt="U.S. reality TV star Kim Kardashian take a walk through sightseeing of Yerevan during her visit in Armenia"><div>Source: Asatur Yesayants / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Skims, a shapewear and clothing brand co-founded by socialite and businesswoman Kim Kardashian, is valued at $4 billion <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/19/business/dealbook/skims-kim-kardashian-fundraise.html">after closing a $270 million</a> funding round.



This makes it a sought-after possible choice among upcoming new IPOs. In five fundraising events since 2019, <a href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/kim-kardashians-skims-opens-first-permanent-store-georgetown-washington-dc/719088/">the brand has raised $701 million.</a>



Regarding going public, Skims does not have a timetable available. Former Nike (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nke-stock-quote/">NKE</a>) executive Andy Muir <a href="https://www.cityindex.com/en-uk/news-and-analysis/skims-ipo/">was appointed chief financial officer</a> last year; this action was viewed as a prelude for the IPO. That moment, however, has passed.



Still, <a href="https://www.cityindex.com/en-uk/news-and-analysis/skims-ipo/">with $750 million in sales</a> and a net profit of $190 million in 2023 &mdash; 50% higher than in past years &mdash; it is becoming impossible to overlook Skims among perhaps exciting new IPOs.



Apart from getting ready for its IPO, Skims is establishing big stores in Los Angeles and New York City to really strengthen its brand.



The first TV commercial <a href="https://www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2024/04/01/skims-tv-campaign-kim-kardashian-brand-expansion#:~:text=Skims's%20first%20TV%20spot%2C%20%E2%80%9CSkims,Kennedy%2C%20which%20created%20the%20ad">Skims</a> produced, &ldquo;SKIMS Lab,&rdquo; also appeared at the 2024 Oscars. Kim Kardashian will highlight the company&rsquo;s exclusive shapewear in upcoming commercials. Not only are well-known &ldquo;Fits Everybody&rdquo; basketball players <a href="https://www.wnba.com/news/skims-underwear-campaign">part of a new WNBA alliance</a> for the brand, but the company also designed a limited edition Team U.S.A. line-up just in time for the 2024 Olympics.



<h2>StubHub</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/rock-band-concert-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of a singer at a rock concert."><div>Source: kondr.konst/Shutterstock.com</div></div>Targeting a <a href="https://fintelegram.com/stubhub-plans-summer-ipo-with-a-target-valuation-of-16-5-billion/">value of roughly $16.5 billion,</a> StubHub is getting ready for its IPO, likely in late summer 2024. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gs-stock-quote/">GS</a>) and JPMorgan (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/jpm-stock-quote/">JPM</a>) reportedly have already delivered secretly to regulators paperwork related to StubHub going public.



From 2000 until today, StubHub has been a top live entertainment ticket marketplace. EBay (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ebay-stock-quote/">EBAY</a>) purchased this site in 2007; Viagogo purchased it for $4.05 billion in 2019. StubHub is secure and simple to use, with numerous corporate and sports team relationships. Ticket selection is vast in over 90 countries.



Operating in a very competitive but profitable sector, StubHub is one of the most exciting new IPOs; the secondary ticket market, projected at $2.85 billion in 2023, is forecast to expand <a href="https://straitsresearch.com/report/secondary-tickets-market">at a CAGR of 9.7%</a> to reach $6.56 billion by 2032.



StubHub has shown a clear increase in ticket sales, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/wnba-ticket-sales-1de458d78b25b8fc35a8101958fbe0e6">especially with WNBA events</a> seeing a 93% rise, indicating a strong resurgence and growing demand in the live events industry.

3 New IPOs That Could Be the Next Big Thing

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Recent insights from the <a href="https://cpp-luxury.com/global-luxury-industry-to-register-slower-growth-in-2024-altagamma-report/">Altagamma Consumer and Retail Insight event</a> in Milan make a compelling bull case for betting on luxury <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-discretionary/retail/">retail stocks</a>.



A qualitative analysis presented during the event showed how the luxury space relies on few affluent clients. Despite the broader economic headwinds, these high-end customers continue driving robust revenue for luxury brands.



If brands can focus on exclusivity, quality, and hyper-personalized services, they can strategically position themselves for long-term expansion. This powerful strategy ensures their market relevance and adds to the allure of investing in the luxury retail realm.



That said, these three luxury retail stocks embody the concepts discussed above. These businesses have held firm despite the broader economic slowdown and continue delivering the goods for their shareholders. Moreover, they are expected to continue growing at a healthy pace, fueled by their tremendous brand equity.



<h2>LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton (LVMUY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/lvmuy-1600-300x169.png" alt="Louis Vuitton storefront featuring an LV handbag. LVMUY stock."><div>Source: Vietnam stock photos / Shutterstock</div></div>LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lvmuy-stock-quote/" target="_blank">LVMUY</a>) is a premier choice in luxury retail, and it has weathered multiple economic storms. Housing some of the biggest luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, LVMUY has been a juggernaut in its niche.



Moreover, the company has effectively safeguarded its premium appeal through its disciplined pricing strategies and thoughtful product expansions. Of late, we&rsquo;ve seen it lag its lofty historical growth, but that&rsquo;s not stopping its out-of-the-box approach.



It recently announced the<a href="https://www.thedailyupside.com/finance/ma/lvmh-clocks-in-with-lepee-1839-acquisition-as-ceo-takes-surprise-stake-in-rival/#:~:text=LVMH%20Mo%C3%ABt%20Hennessy%20Louis%20Vuitton,'Ep%C3%A9e%201839%2C%20on%20Monday."> acquisition of a high-end Swiss watchmaker</a> in Spiza, which sells its popular Time Machine watch for an eye-catching $30,000. Moreover, its collaborating with Accor&nbsp;(OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/accyy-stock-quote/">ACCYY</a>)&nbsp;to rejuvenate the Orient Express brand and its <a href="https://www.lvmh.com/news-documents/press-releases/lvmh-reaches-an-agreement-with-belmond-to-increase-its-presence-in-the-ultimate-hospitality-world/#:~:text=LVMH%20is%20to%20acquire%20Belmond,adjusted%20EBITDA%20of%20%24140%20million.">pre-pandemic acquisition of Belmond</a>. This initiative includes launching new hotels, trains, and sailing ships, effectively diversifying LVMH&rsquo;s portfolio in luxury hospitality.



<h2>Hermes (HESAY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/women-ceos-300x169.jpg" alt="A group of four women in business attire pose around a desk."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>French luxury goods giant Hermes (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hesay-stock-quote/">HESAY</a>)&nbsp;stands as a beacon of prestige. The luxury retail player has built a powerful brand, epitomized by its legendary Birkin Bag, symbolizing scarcity and appeal.



Over the years, Hermes built a loyal customer base while leveraging its robust pricing power. This strategy has allowed the company to grow consistently over the past several years. Its <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HESAY/growth">five-year revenue and EBITDA growth</a> averaged 17.8% and 23.1%, respectively. Moreover, its free cash flow margin over the same period averaged a spectacular 24%.



Perhaps most heartening is that its recent results have been in line with its historical metrics despite the headwinds. HESAY stock, however, has been running hot since the start of the year <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HESAY/momentum/performance">but has dipped recently</a>, making it an opportune time to pounce on it.



Herm&egrave;s maintains a bellwether position in its niche, focusing on high-end exclusivity.



<h2>Ralph Lauren (RL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ralph-lauren-rl-stock-1600-2-300x169.jpg" alt="A Ralph Lauren outlet, October 21, 2013, Geneva, Switzerland."><div>Source: Martin Good / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Ralph Lauren&nbsp;(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rl-stock-quote/">RL</a>) is a diversified luxury lifestyle apparel company with a global presence. It caters to various pricing segments and categories, with its geographical reach spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.



Since 2017, under the dynamic leadership of CEO Patrice Louvet, Ralph Lauren revitalized its brand image while maintaining its track record. It made substantial investments in design, merchandising, and marketing while focusing on more high-end products to boost its brand equity. Furthermore, the brand has built a significant social media following and high-profile endorsements, fueling its popularity.



<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RL/earnings">In the past 13 consecutive quarters</a>, the firm has beaten estimates across both lines by considerable margins. Moreover, with double-digit profitability growth, the company has built substantial cash reserves while managing its debt load effectively. &nbsp;Additionally, investing in RL stock comes with a dividend, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/RL/dividends/scorecard">yielding an attractive 2%</a>.
