The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the biggest blowback the hospitality industry has arguably ever seen in such a short period of time. With global restrictions suspending international travel and various types of activities and the working-from-home economy taking over, whether we are talking about tourism or business trips, the industry suffered dramatically. Accordingly, shares of hotel giants like Hyatt Hotels (NYSE: H), Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT), airlines like United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) and Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), as well as booking services like Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) and Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE), plummeted at the time.
Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort are starting to welcome guests back after Hurricane Ian, but it''s not quite business as usual.

"We are thinking of our neighbors across Florida," Disney Parks tweeted Thursday. "We will get through this together and will be there to help our cast members and community."

Today’s article introduces three stocks whose price targets have recently been cut by analysts on Wall Street. So far this year, the stocks market has tumbled on the back of rampant inflation and investors’ shaken confidence. Indeed, the S&P 500 Index posted its worst return for the first half of a year since 1970, triggering many stock price target cuts. Companies’ earnings have also not grown much this year. Meanwhile, the Fed continues to signal that it will raise interest rates, although at a slower pace than earlier in the year. And with the second-quarter earnings season now mostly behind us, investors are focusing on analysts’ forecasts. That makes sense because paying attention to stock price target cuts can help investors evaluate the potential risk/reward profile of equities. That said, here are three popular stocks whose price targets have been cut by Wall Street analysts. While these companies might have lost some of their competitive momentum, many are still attractive for long-term investors at today’s prices.

The many experts who were extremely bearish on stocks in May and June predicted the second-quarter earnings season would be a total disaster. In fact, the earnings season, boosted by the resilience of many middle-class and wealthy American consumers, has been pretty good. 75% of the S&P 500’s companies that reported their results as of Aug. 5 beat analysts’ average earnings per share, or EPS, estimates. Because the Street remains overly pessimistic about a majority of the companies that beat bottom-line expectations by wide margins, many of these firms’ shares are excellent stocks to buy for investors. Of course, it also makes sense to accumulate the shares of companies whose sectors are being lifted by strong, positive catalysts. As a result, I sought to include in this article stocks within the travel, automotive, retail, renewable energy, restaurant and healthcare sectors. All of these stocks to buy are very well-positioned to easily outperform the market in the coming months and quarters.
This Is What Hedge Funds Bought And Sold In Q2: Full 13F Summary While we already covered what may have been the most boring 13F of the second quarter, namely that of Berkshire Hathaway which saw very few changes with Warren Buffett merely adding to a few legacy positions and trimming a few others (full breakdown here)… ... as well as the most interesting one, that from Tiger Global which confirmed that the so-called hedge fund was nothing more than a paper-hands retail investor, dumping most of its biggest holdings just as the market troughed, and leaving the world''s most overrated tech fund missing on all of the recent market upside... ... we also have had quite a few hedge funds inbetween. Courtesy of Bloomberg here are the highlights of the just concluded 13F seasons: Risk off: Chase Coleman’s Tiger Global Management, Dan Sundheim’s D1 Capital and Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management were among firms that continued to offload equities in the period. Tiger’s aggregate exposure to stocks dropped by about 55% to $11.8 billion.

When U.S. investors think about cruise stocks to buy on the dip, they usually think of the three main companies: Carnival (NYSE: CCL ), Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE: RCL ), and Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE: NCLH ). However, there are several cruise-related businesses that also make potentially attractive stock picks at this point in the market. It’s not just as simple as picking one of the three biggest players. Furthermore, it makes far more sense to spread your bets amongst several companies that earn some of their revenue from the cruise industry — an industry that generated $55.5 billion in economic activity in 2019 before the pandemic took hold — and will benefit again once sailings get back to normal. Of the three, I’ve always been partial to RCL because of former CEO Richard Fain’s excellent leadership . However, Fain stepped down as CEO in early January after 33 years in the job. While Royal Caribbean is still my go-to pick — I got married on one of its ships — I’ll be sure to take the other two into consideration.

Key Events This Busy Week: Jobs, ISM, And Even More Central Banks And Earnings After a frenzied week which saw not just the US slide into technical recession just hours after the Fed hiked rates by a whopping 75bps for the 2nd time in a row (hence accelerating the US slowdown), as well as record bonanza of corporate earnings, markets still won''t get the chance with US payrolls on Friday, followed by CPI on Wednesday 10th. If nothing out of the ordinary occurs in these two prints though maybe we can have a quiet two or three weeks according to DB''s Jim Reid, who however notes that if payrolls are far from consensus and/or CPI is strong then "we may have some fun and games in August. It’s a month of low liquidity and if something big happens it can be multiplied in such thin trading." Outside of payrolls, the other most important events this week include the manufacturing PMIs and ISM today, the RBA decision and US JOLTS tomorrow, services PMIs and ISM Wednesday, and the likely biggest hike from the BoE for 27 years alongside the increasingly important US jobless claims data on Thursday.

One of the financial metrics I use to find large-cap stocks trading at a discount is their free cash flow yield. Free cash flow (or FCF) is the remaining cash flow from operations after subtracting a company’s capital expenditures. Uses for FCF include dividends, share repurchases, debt repayment, acquisitions, and investing in the business. If a company’s FCF yield is 8% or higher, there is a strong possibility that investors are undervaluing its shares. The inverse of FCF yield is price-to-free-cash-flow (P/FCF). With this in mind, I screened S&P 500 stocks with a market capitalization of $10 billion or greater to find large-cap stocks trading at a discount. In turn, the screen provided 51 possibilities . However, 24 were financial stocks, which don’t tend to be good candidates for P/FCF and FCF yield stock screens. Nonetheless, I found seven large-cap stocks trading at a discount to buy now — with each one coming from a different sector.

Conducted by Ethical Consumer, the UK’s leading alternative consumer organisation, the report focused on 29 companies that people use to book their own transport and accommodation, rather than holiday operators.

We’re moving deeper into the second-quarter earnings season, which means Wall Street is getting busier, too. The good news is earnings are definitely working, which is bad news for the companies that miss analysts’ estimates. Case in point: Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ ). The company reported a mixed second quarter last Thursday. For the quarter, earnings declined nearly 10% year-over-year to $2.82 per share, which was just short of analysts’ expectations for earnings of $2.90 per share. Revenue increased about 4% to $1.07 billion. However, same-store sales slipped 2.9% and international same-store sales dropped 2.2%. Company management commented, “We continued to navigate a difficult labor market, especially for delivery drivers, in addition to inflationary pressures combined with COVID and stimulus-fueled sales comps from the prior two years in the U.S.” Following the weak results, DPZ shares fell about 2% on significantly above-average volume. The reason why I’m talking to you about Domino’s Pizza today is because the uptick in sell volume coupled with the company’s dwindling fundamental health dropped DPZ to a D-rating in Portfolio Grader over the weekend.

AirBnB (NASDAQ: ABNB ) stock bounced 5% on July 4 and July 5 amid a general rally in tech stocks. It then opened on July 6 at about $95.29 per share. Looking back, though, this isn’t the best place to be if you’ve been an investor of ABNB stock. That’s less than half its February 2021 high of almost $220 per share, not to mention its April high of $179 per share. Moreover, ABNB stock certainly isn’t a bargain. With its market capitalization of $61 billion, you’re paying more than 10 times last year’s $6 billion in revenue to own it, and 70 times earnings. Yet, there are still people pounding the table for ABNB stock. Even InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier is bullish on ABNB stock .
