AT&T Is Targeting Free Cash Flow in the Low-to-Mid $16 Billion Range for 2025
Image Source: TradingView. Looking to the full year 2025, AT&T expects consolidated service revenue growth in the low-single-digit range, with mobility service revenue growth of 3% or better and consumer fiber broadband revenue growth in the mid-to-high teens. For the year, AT&T is targeting adjusted EBITDA growth of 3% or better, with mobility EBITDA growth of roughly 3%, business wireline EBITDA lower by a low-double-digit range, and consumer wireline EBITDA growth in the low-to-mid-teens range. Free cash flow for 2025 is expected in the low-to-mid $16 billion range, while adjusted earnings per share is targeted in the range of $1.97-$2.07. We like AT&T but can’t get comfortable with its total debt load of $132.3 billion. We remain on the sidelines. Shares yield 3.8% at the time of this writing.

Nvidia Shines in Second Quarter of Fiscal 2026
Image Source: Nvidia. Looking to the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Nvidia expects revenue to be $54.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, an outlook that does not assume any H20 shipments to China. Consensus was at $52.76 billion. In the fiscal third quarter, GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 73.3% and 73.5%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points. The firm expects to end the year with non-GAAP gross margins in the mid-70% range. Nvidia continues to power the market higher, and while results weren’t as bullish as some were expecting, they were strong, nonetheless.

Walmart Raises Outlook for Fiscal 2026
Image Source: Walmart. Looking ahead, Walmart issued guidance for the third quarter, with net sales expected to increase 3.75%-4.75% and operating income to increase 3%-6%. For fiscal 2026, the company raised its outlook for net sales growth to the range of 3.75%-4.75% (was 3%-4%) and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $2.52-$2.62 (was $2.50-$2.60) versus the $2.62 consensus mark. Walmart’s guidance for adjusted operating income growth of 3.5%-5.5% remained unchanged. We liked the guidance revisions at Walmart, but we remain cautious on the tariff impact on its business given an unchanged adjusted operating income growth target, despite a better top-line view. The high end of our fair value range stands at $113 per share.

Home Depot’s Comps Turn Positive in Second Quarter
Image Source: TradingView. At the end of the second quarter, Home Depot had $2.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, while total debt stood at $52.3 billion. For the six months ended August 3, net cash provided by operating activities was $9 billion, down from $10.9 billion in the year-ago period. Looking to guidance for 2025, management expects total sales growth of approximately 2.8%, with comparable sales growth of roughly 1% for the comparable 52-week period. It expects to add approximately 13 new stores. Home Depot’s guidance for 2025 calls for a gross margin of 33.4%, with an adjusted operating margin of roughly 13.4%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to decline 2% from $15.24 in fiscal 2024. Though Home Depot’s second quarter wasn’t blockbuster, it was good to see comparable store sales inflect. Shares yield 2.3% at the time of this writing.

Phillips 66’s 2027 Strategic Priorities Look Achievable
Image Source: Phillips 66. At the end of the quarter, Phillips 66 had $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents on the books and $3.7 billion of committed capacity available under credit facilities. The company ended the quarter with $20.9 billion in total debt, and a net debt-to-capital ratio of 41%. On the call, management noted that it was on track to achieve the $4.5 billion annual EBITDA target in Midstream by 2027. Also by that year, Phillips 66 expects to see its adjusted cost per barrel number below $5.50 per barrel on an annual basis. We like Phillips 66’s 2027 strategic priorities, especially in that it targets a “secure, competitive & growing dividend.” Shares yield 3.9% at the time of this writing.

We continue to like Cisco and the momentum behind its AI Infrastructure orders. The company remains a holding in the newsletter portfolios. Shares yield 2.5% at the time of this writing.

McDonald’s remains on pace to open approximately 2,200 restaurants globally this year (1,800 net). We liked McDonald’s return to positive comp growth in the second quarter, but we no longer include the idea in any newsletter portfolios.
