Just how much further McCormick will push pricing initiatives remains to be seen, but we think investor caution is in order. The stock is already trading at 33x current fiscal year adjusted earnings, and its shares have yet to return to the peak levels reached during 2020. We wonder if there may be troubling times ahead. Our fair value estimate stands at $73 per share, well below where shares are currently trading.

On June 29, Nike reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 results for the period ending May 31, 2023. During the quarter, revenue advanced 5% and 8% on a currency-neutral basis, but investors mostly focused on Nike’s bottom line, where diluted earnings per share fell 27%, to $0.66, missing the consensus estimate by a couple pennies. The firm expects material improvement in fiscal 2024, but we’re skeptical of just how much. We like better opportunities elsewhere.

We’ve liked Tesla’s share-price strength so far this year, and record total deliveries during the second quarter of 2023 help to continue to support its impressive share-price move. The high end of our fair value estimate range of Tesla stands at $335 per share, meaning shares of Tesla still have more room to run. The company remains one of the most speculative ways to play U.S. equities.

We think Walmart’s ‘Great Value’ brand and position across bargain retail has never been stronger, and its share price reflects a company that is at a sweet spot of consumer demand as rivals continue to struggle. The high end of our fair value estimate range of Walmart stands north of $170, and shares yield ~1.4% at the moment. We’re liking what we see at Walmart these days.
