Levi’s Q2 Beat Triggers Higher Guidance and Dividend Boost

Levi Strauss beat Q2 expectations with adjusted EPS of 28 cents on revenue of $1.56 billion and lifted its full-year targets, now calling for 7%-7.5% sales growth and adjusted EPS of $1.46-$1.52. Management attributes roughly half of growth to higher prices and half to stronger unit volumes, and the company also increased its dividend as demand remains healthy across Levi’s core, signature, and premium lines. Shares fell more than 5% in after-hours trading after the report.

Nike's Turnaround Thesis Gets a Fresh Buy Signal After CFO Shakeup

Nike's Turnaround Thesis Gets a Fresh Buy Signal After CFO Shakeup

Nike stock has fallen this year even as the company consistently beats earnings, pays a 3.96% dividend with 24 straight years of increases, and now faces a CFO transition. The piece notes coordinated insider buying (CEO Elliott Hill and director Tim Cook) around the current price, plus a generally solid operating backdrop: North America growth and wholesale expansion offset by weakness in Greater China and a 35% drop in Converse. Forward earnings sit around 21x with a roughly $58 consensus target, while Nike trades near a 52-week low (~$40). The author argues the turnaround story remains intact, arguing the risk is China/converse, but the setup—strong brand, cash, and insider conviction—renders Nike an aggressive “buy on repeat.”

Nike's Dividend Power Amid Buybacks Spurs Upside Despite Slump

Nike's Dividend Power Amid Buybacks Spurs Upside Despite Slump

Nike remains a strong dividend-growth story even as its stock is down roughly 33% year-to-date. The company has an $18 billion buyback and 24 years of consecutive dividend growth, bolstered by insider purchases (CEO Elliott Hill bought shares around $41–$42). Earnings have beaten estimates for four straight quarters, with Q3 FY26 EPS of $0.35 vs $0.28 expected, supported by solid North America momentum in Running and Global Football. Greater China revenue fell and tariffs pressured margins, yet Nike trades near $41.82 with a $58.72 analyst target and a majority of Buy ratings. The author argues the combination of a rising dividend, buyback-driven capital return, and insider confidence justifies continued dips-buying on a global athletic-utility thesis.

SCHD’s Top-10 Concentration Sparks Diversification Debate

SCHD’s Top-10 Concentration Sparks Diversification Debate

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) now has its top 10 holdings accounting for about 41% of its assets, a concentration higher than the S&P 500’s top-10. SCHD tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, focused on dividend-growth blue chips with a current yield around 3.27% and an expense ratio of 0.06%. Performance shows a five-year total return around 50% (below SPY’s ~79%), reflecting its dividend-screen approach that omits AI-driven tech leaders; over the past year SCHD outperformed SPY (29% vs. 27%). The article suggests using SCHD as an income-focused core and pairing it with DGRO or VYM to add tech exposure without sacrificing the income mandate, while noting the single-stock risk from its top holdings and the drift in weights between reconstitutions.
