MarketBeat offers numerous tools to investors, but the single most significant is the MarketRank&trade; tool. The MarketRank&nbsp;feature aggregates data for over 1.5 million global listings in eight categories and ranks them accordingly. The overall score runs from a low of one to a high of five, meaning a Five Star stock ranks within the top 1%, making it a high-probability target for long-term-oriented investors. Analysts&#39; sentiment, news sentiment, ownership, short interest, earnings, and valuation are among the categories tracked. This is a look at the top three names heading into October.&nbsp;
<h2>Schlumberger Is the Number One Pick For October Investors</h2>
Texas-based Schlumberger (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/slb#NYSE">SLB</a>) is the world&#39;s largest oilfield services company, offering various services, including reserve management, production, and digitization. The company and the industry are supported by a super-cycle driven by years of underinvestment leading into the post-pandemic era and the need for modernization and efficiency.&nbsp;
Results in 2024 include sustained double-digit top-line growth, margin expansion, and robust cash flow to support its dividend. Schlumberger is well-regarded as a dividend growth stock with the potential to sustain distribution growth indefinitely due to the low payout ratio, cash flow, and balance sheet. The stock yields about 2.6%, with shares trading near a two-year low, providing a value-based entry point for dividend growth investors.&nbsp;
Analyst sentiment cooled somewhat over the summer, but the 19 tracked by MarketBeat continue to rate the stock as a Buy with only one dissenting Hold, no Sells, and a consensus target of $66. The $66 consensus target is down $2 from a year ago but still implies a nearly 60% upside for the market. The low target also offers some upside, highlighting the deep-value opportunity for investors. The short interest is healthy, below 3%, and insider selling is light, providing little headwind for the market. Institutional ownership is solid at over 80% and provides a tailwind for the market, with net activity bullish for the first three quarters of the year.&nbsp;

<h2>Jack in the Box Springs Into the #2 Position According to MarketRank</h2>
Jack in the Box (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jack#NASDAQ">JACK</a>) is a smaller fast-food chain working diligently to re-franchise its network while expanding into new territories and growing organically within existing territories. Results in 2024 include a systemwide top-line contraction resulting from consumer habits, the re-franchise efforts, and a flat YoY store count offset by progress in the development pipeline.
The development pipeline includes nearly 100 agreements for 437 restaurants, of which roughly 10% have been completed. Among the latest details is a move into the Chicago-land region with a 12-unit franchising deal and at least another 100 opportunities for the local market.&nbsp;
Jack in the Box analysts trimmed targets and ratings in the first half 2024. However, the consensus is a strong Hold verging on Buy with a price target 50% above the $42 level, and the low-end range implies a deep value. The lowest target on record is $55 or about 18% upside, with only one analyst rating as Sell and nearly 50% at Buy. JACK stock pays a dividend worth 3.75% with shares at a four-year low, and the payment is safe. Distribution growth has been put on hold, but payments are less than 30% of earnings and are easily sustainable.&nbsp;

<h2>Investors Have a Friend in Ally Financial&#39;s Dividend</h2>
Auto-lender Ally Financial (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ally#NYSE">ALLY</a>) faces struggles in 2024 due to economic conditions and weakened consumer strength, but it is in a solid financial position and can reliably pay its dividends. The latest results included a boosted outlook for credit write-offs, which impacted the share price and sparked a shift in analysts&#39; sentiment favoring investors.&nbsp;
The analysts trimmed their targets over the summer but continue to rate the stock as a strong Hold verging on Buy, with the two sell ratings offset by eight buys and seven holds.
The latest update is from Citigroup, which added the name to its focus list. Analysts at Citi cited the new lows as an attractive entry point, believing the sell-off is unrelated to fundamentals.&nbsp;
Ally Financial&#39;s dividend is worth about 3.35%, and the shares are near the 2024 lows. The company has not increased its distribution for several years, but growth is possible with the 45% payout ratio and improving earnings power. Adjusted EPS was flat YoY in Q2 despite the mid-single-digit contraction in revenue. Earnings are forecasted to nearly double from 2024&#39;s levels in 2025.&nbsp;

October's Top 3 Stocks Revealed by MarketBeat

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JACK#NASDAQ">JACK</a>), a leading franchisor in the quick-service industry, is thrilled to announce significant expansion into the Chicago market with a 12-unit franchising deal. This builds on the brand's momentum with their planned openings of two CloudKitchens in downtown and the previous announcement of eight company-operated locations to be developed in the suburbs of Chicago.
"We are excited to bring Jack in the Box back to Chicago and believe that our craveable 24/7 menu with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacking, and industry-leading late night offerings will connect with the local community," said Van Ingram, vice president franchise development. "Chicagoland serves as the gateway to the midwest, and we see tremendous opportunity to grow throughout the region."
Jack in the Box has identified over 100 additional franchise opportunities still available in the Chicago Metro Area, and the brand is actively seeking experienced multi-unit operators and business owners to join its growing franchisee network.
"With approximately 2,200 locations nationwide and the recent success from our new market openings in Salt Lake City and Louisville, we've recognized how much pent-up demand Jack in the Box has across the country," added Ingram. "We're an iconic franchise brand with whitespace availability, flexible prototypes, and commitment to growing in the Midwest."
Jack in the Box is known for its iconic menu that features customer favorites like burgers, tacos, chicken sandwiches, milkshakes, breakfast, and late-night snacking options. The new locations will offer dine-in, drive-thru, and mobile ordering options.

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jack#NASDAQ">JACK</a>) is likely to benefit from menu innovation, digital efforts and unit expansion efforts. Also, the focus on the re-image program bodes well. However, dismal comps and elevated labor costs are concerns.
Let us discuss the factors that highlight why investors should retain the stock for now.
<h2>Growth Catalysts of JACK</h2>
Menu Innovation: Jack in the Box has adopted a dual approach to cater to both current market conditions and long-term goals. To attract value-oriented customers, the company has launched several initiatives, including the &quot;Munchies Under $4&quot; platform and &quot;Jack&#39;s Big Deal Meal.&quot; These offerings are designed to increase transactions and enhance menu consistency across the system. The company&#39;s differentiated menu, featuring value offers like $5 meals, $10 Fan Favs Boxes and late-night Munchie Meals, positions it to meet diverse customer needs.
The brand&#39;s innovation efforts, such as introducing wings, Smash Jack burgers and French Toast Sticks as a permanent breakfast option, are paying off. These products have been well-received, indicating that Jack in the Box is effectively responding to evolving consumer preferences.
Digital Efforts: Increased focus on digital initiatives bodes well. The company aims to increase digital sales from 14% to 20% by enhancing its first-party capabilities. It intends to launch a redesigned Jack app, enabling personalization and targeted loyalty offerings. Moreover, Jack in the Box is upgrading its point-of-sale system, with nearly 100 restaurants already equipped and a target of 450 by the end of 2024. This system will enhance its customer experience and enable operational innovations, such as better inventory and labor management.
Expansion Into New Markets: Jack in the Box is making significant strides in market expansion. The company recently opened its second restaurant in Mexico, with new locations in Salt Lake City and Louisville performing exceptionally well. Plans are underway to enter the Chicago market with up to 10 new locations in 2025 and expand into Florida. The new market entries present substantial growth opportunities for the brand.
Additionally, the company&#39;s re-image program, supported by a $50 million commitment, is expected to boost same-store sales and improve brand perception. With requests to remodel more than 1,000 restaurants, this initiative could drive significant growth in the coming years.
<h2>Concerns for Jack in the Box</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/4e/76261.jpg?v=567185555" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
In the past year, Jack in the Box&#39;s shares have lost 39.9% against the industry&#39;s 2.6% growth. Dismal comp and elevated labor expenses caused the downside.
Soft Comps: In the fiscal third quarter, systemwide same-store sales fell 2.2% year over year against the 7.9% growth reported in the year-ago quarter. Reduced transactions and an unfavorable mix shift caused the downside. Same-store sales at franchised stores declined 2.4% year over year against the growth of 8% reported in the prior-year quarter. The company remains cautious of the uncertain macroenvironment.
High Expenses: The company has been bearing the brunt of high expenses for some time. In third-quarter fiscal 2024, the restaurant level margin contracted 80 basis points (bps) year over year to 21%, due to increased labor, utilities and technology support costs. Labor (as a percentage of sales) in the reporting quarter increased 200 bps year over year to 32.4%. The increase was driven by wage increases to comply with California&#39;s new minimum wage law.
Occupancy and other operating expenses rose 60 bps year over year to 19.4%, driven by higher utility and technological costs. The company anticipates the inflationary pressures to continue for some time.
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
While Jack in the Box faces challenges such as declining same-store sales and rising labor costs, its strategic initiatives in menu innovation, digital transformation and market expansion offer significant growth potential. The company&#39;s commitment to enhancing its brand through re-imaging efforts and targeting new markets positions JACK well for long-term success. Although the short-term outlook is clouded by economic uncertainties, the ongoing investments in customer experience and operational efficiencies make Jack in the Box a stock worth retaining in your portfolio.

U.S. stock markets saw a strong recovery on Tuesday, with both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 climbing over 2%, nearly offsetting Monday&#8217;s losses. Investors took advantage of recent volatility to buy the dip, showing continued confidence in the U.S. economy&#8217;s ability to avoid a recession. 
Gains were observed in both small-cap and blue-chip stocks, reflecting broad improvement in market sentiment.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often referred to as the market&#8217;s fear gauge, decreased by almost 40% on Tuesday after spiking 65% on Monday. 
According to the FedWatch Tool, the likelihood of a 50-basis-point interest rate cut decreased to 90% Monday to 64% Tuesday. 
As traders reassess Fed rate cuts, Treasury yields increased during the day, with the 10-year yield rising by 11 basis points to 3.9% and the two-year yield climbing 9 basis points to 4.01%.
The rebound of the U.S. dollar was supported by rising yields and diminished expectations of a larger Federal Reserve rate cut in September. The dollar increased by 0.8% against the low-yielding Japanese yen, breaking a streak of five consecutive days of losses.
In terms of macroeconomic data, the day was relatively quiet, with only June&#8217;s trade figures making news.

Wall Street Rebounds After Selloff, VIX Falls, Dollar Surges Against Yen: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

U.S. stocks look to bounce back on Tuesday following an across-the-board sell-off in the previous session. Strategists say<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40179293/strategist-warns-theres-a-serious-collapse-thats-coming-after-mondays-global-market-crash-tons-a"> all the yen carry trades haven&#8217;t been unwound yet,</a> which raises the specter of incremental weakness. That said, positive reactions to earnings from tech players such as Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) and Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVTS#NASDAQ">NVTS</a>) could buoy sentiment.
Tech stocks are reversing course, riding on these positive earnings. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely known as VIX, has pulled back notably toward the 32 level. Given the absence of any major catalysts, volatility will likely remain contained.

Cues From Last Session:
Wall Street closed Monday&#8217;s session notably lower, although off its intraday lows. The global equity market plunge set in motion by the Japanese market on Monday spilled over into the U.S. The major averages opened notably lower but a report that showed that the service sector moved into expansion territory helped them trim some of the losses. Yet the averages closed the session sharply lower.
The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite fell for a third straight session, settling at three-month lows, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated to its lowest since June 14.
The sell-off was across the board, with the IT, communication services and consumer discretionary stocks plunging hard.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Insights From Analysts: </figcaption></figure>
The recent correction is healthy for the market, according to WisdomTree Senior Economist and Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel. Volatility has finally returned to the market, the economist said, adding that this equity risk is what creates a premium long-term return.
A correction of 5-10% from the highs is healthy, Siegel said. &#8220;I would be more worried had the market continued to surge higher with no correction and created more bubble-like conditions,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;In the short run, if the Fed does not indicate that it will react soon, the outlook is very unsettled.&#8221;
Carson Group&#8217;s Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick sees light at the end of the tunnel. Drawing on historical data, the strategist noted that when the S&amp;P 500 Index falls by at least 1% on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, strong returns are typically observed three months later. Historically, this pattern has resulted in gains 90% of the time, with an average increase of around 10%.
&#8220;A year later up 18 of 21 and up 22.5% on avg,&#8221; he added.

The restaurant industry is well-positioned for growth convenience offered by fast-casual restaurants and advanced technology integration. So, let's analyze restaurant stocks, Dine Brands Global (DIN) and Jack in the Box (JACK), to determine which restaurant stock is cooking up better returns. Read on... Franchised fast-casual restaurants are expected to account for a significant market share in the coming years. This growth can be attributed to the convenience offered by these franchises through quick turnaround times, easy access, and <a href="https://www.expertmarketresearch.com/reports/united-states-fast-casual-restaurant-market">availability of digital ordering options</a>. 
The U.S. restaurant industry is experiencing significant growth. By 2024, the industry is expected to exceed $1.10 trillion in sales for the first time, marking a substantial rebound from the pandemic years.  Furthermore, between 2024 and 2032, the industry is projected to add 150,000 jobs per year on average, with total staffing levels reaching <a href="https://restaurant.org/research-and-media/media/press-releases/restaurant-industry-sales-forecast-to-set-1-1-trillion-record-in-2024/">16.9 million by 2032</a>.
Against this backdrop, let's compare two restaurant stocks, Dine Brands Global, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DIN/">DIN</a>) and Jack in the Box Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/JACK/">JACK</a>), to determine which restaurant stock is cooking up better returns.
