10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to record levels on Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
In Congress, Republicans clinched a majority in the Senate, while the House race remains close. As of Wednesday morning&#8217;s tabulations, Republicans held 198 seats versus 180 for Democrats.
The S&amp;P 500 index, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), climbed 2% to 5,900 points, while the Dow soared over 3% to 43,500 points. The blue-chip index, monitored through the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), marked its biggest single-day gain since November 2022.
The financials and industrials sectors were the top performers, up 5.2% and 3%, respectively.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 witnessed smaller gains, up 1.8%, while small-cap stocks skyrocketed, with the Russell 2000 index spiking over 5%. 
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called the &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; plummeted 22%, indicating waning investor concerns amid post-election optimism.
Investors are responding positively to the prospect of more lenient tax policies under the upcoming Trump administration, though inflation risks and potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy highlighted by economists seem to be largely overlooked by the market for now.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Implications Of A Trump Presidency, Goldman Sachs Weighs In</h3>
&#8220;If Republicans secure a narrow House majority, this would likely enable a full extension of the 2017 tax cuts, set to expire in 2025, potentially with some reinstated business investment incentives,&#8221; wrote Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs&#8217; chief economist.
A Republican-controlled Congress may also drive increased federal spending, particularly on defense, Goldman Sachs indicated.
"We would expect Trump to impose additional tariffs averaging 20% on imports from China," Hatzius added, highlighting that this policy could provide a &#8220;one-time boost to core PCE inflation&#8221; and &#8220;a modest drag on GDP.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs projects that the incoming Trump administration would likely pursue a more relaxed approach to regulation, especially in energy, financial services, and labor. 
However, while antitrust oversight may soften somewhat, scrutiny of the tech sector is expected to persist.

S&P 500, Dow Hit Record Highs After Trump Win; Fear Index Drops 20%

Election Day is here. A win for Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Kamala Harris could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41750069/80-million-votes-cast-in-early-voting-mail-in-voting-before-election-day-over-50-of-2020-electio">move different market sectors</a>. 
Here is a list of stocks to watch as the country <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41724383/wall-street-struggles-ahead-of-election-day-energy-sector-outperforms-solar-stocks-rise-whats-dr">waits for the final tally.</a> 
Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares are climbing on heavy trading volume on the final day of voting. The stock soared 270% from its September lows as investors speculate on a potential Trump victory. Matthew Tuttle, CEO of investment fund Tuttle Capital Management, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41608242/trump-media-technology-stock-soars-after-msg-rally-will-the-gains-hold">called the stock</a> "a binary bet on the election." However, some analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41630878/djt-short-squeeze-could-push-stock-to-60-if-trump-wins-but-analysis-says-loss-could-make-shares-">​​suggest</a> the stock could plummet if <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40783924/trump-vs-harris-election-forecaster-with-9-out-of-10-accurate-predictions-makes-final-call-says-">Trump loses the election</a>.

XOM, FSLR: Investors are watching Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) stock as traditional energy companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41724383/wall-street-struggles-ahead-of-election-day-energy-sector-outperforms-solar-stocks-rise-whats-dr">could gain </a>from favorable oil and gas policies under a Trump administration. It&#8217;s worth noting that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35240230/us-is-producing-more-oil-under-biden-than-at-any-point-under-the-trump-administration">U.S. produced more oil</a> under the Biden administration than at any point under the Trump administration. Conversely, solar energy companies like First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) are on watch as they could benefit from Harris' support of renewable energy policies and climate initiatives. 
RTX: Wall Street analysts are generally bullish on defense stocks in the event of a Trump victory putting shares of RTX (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) under watch as the polls close.  RTX, formerly Raytheon Technologies, is one of the &#8220;Big Five&#8221; defense contractors which are likely to benefit from increased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41332235/why-raytheon-parent-rtx-stock-is-up">defense spending</a>. General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>) and Palantir Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) are other defense contractors stocks to watch. 
LEN: Homebuilders' stocks such as Lennar Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) could gain from Harris&#8217; plans to promote homeownership if elected. One Harris proposal includes providing up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers who have paid their rent on time for two years. Other home builders to watch include D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) and KB Home (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>).

On October&nbsp;28, 2024, Forestar Group Inc. (the "Company") and D.R. Horton, Inc. ("D.R. Horton") entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholder's Agreement, dated as of October&nbsp;28, 2024 (the "A&amp;R Stockholder's Agreement"), which amends and restates the Stockholder's Agreement, dated as of June&nbsp;29, 2017, between the Company and D.R. Horton (the "Original Stockholder's Agreement").
The Original Stockholder's Agreement provided that (i)&nbsp;the Investment Committee (as defined in the Stockholder's Agreement) of the Company is vested with sole responsibility over investment decisions involving, in any single transaction or a series of related transactions, Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Stockholder's Agreement) of $20,000,000 or less, and (ii)&nbsp;prior written consent of D.R. Horton is required before the Company acquires (including by way of merger, exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution) any business, debt or equity interests, operations or assets of any person, or makes any investment in or loan to any person, in any single transaction or series of related transactions, involving Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Stockholder's Agreement) in excess of $20,000,000. These provisions are also included in the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter").
The A&amp;R Stockholder's Agreement increases each of the $20,000,000 thresholds described above (each, an "Approval Threshold") to $45,000,000, subject to an annual increase on the last Tuesday of September or, if the Case-Shiller Index Change (as defined below) has not been published as of such date, such later date that the Case-Shiller Index Change for the relevant period is published (each such date, an "adjustment date") by an amount equal to the product of (A)&nbsp;the one-year percentage change reported in the S&amp;P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index (the "Case-Shiller Index Change") for the one-year period ending July&nbsp;31 of the then-current calendar year, expressed as a decimal and (B)&nbsp;the Approval Threshold in effect immediately prior to the applicable adjustment date. Any adjustments to the Approval Threshold shall be rounded to the nearest $100,000. If the Case-Shiller Index Change is negative for any such annual period, there shall be no adjustment, and the then-current Approval Threshold shall remain in effect until the next adjustment date. The Company intends to submit a proposal to amend the Charter consistent with the amendments made in the A&amp;R Stockholder's Agreement to the Company's stockholders for approval at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Charter Amendment"). Until the Company's stockholders approve the Charter Amendment, the current provisions of the Charter will remain in effect notwithstanding the entry into the A&amp;R Stockholder's Agreement.
The A&amp;R Stockholder's Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. Other than as amended by the A&amp;R Stockholder's Agreement, the provisions of the Original Stockholder's Agreement remain in effect. As of October&nbsp;28, 2024, D.R. Horton owned approximately 62% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The section "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December&nbsp;15, 2023 provides a description of other arrangements between the Company and D.R. Horton and such section is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

USA Pending Home Sales (MoM) For September 7.4% Vs 1.9% Est.; 0.6% Prior

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.
Treasury yields continued to climb during concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and political uncertainty ahead of next week's elections. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 4.33%, the highest level since early July.
Notably, gold prices remained resilient, with the precious metal breaking above the all-time high of $2,770 per ounce as investors sought a hard asset amid fiscal concerns.
The crypto market also saw notable gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose nearly 4% to reach $72,700, nearing its record high of $73,697 set in March. Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) continued its momentum with a 10% rally on Tuesday, following an 11% surge on Monday.

Sales fell 5% year-over-year to&nbsp;$10.0 billion, missing the consensus of&nbsp;$10.2 billion.
Net sales orders increased&nbsp;1%&nbsp;to 19,035&nbsp;homes and&nbsp;decreased 2% in value at&nbsp;$7.1 billion.
Homebuilding revenue increased 2% to $9.0 billion. Homes closed in the quarter rose 3% to 23,647 homes.
Sales order backlog of homes under contract as of September 30, 2024, decreased&nbsp;20% to 12,180&nbsp;homes and&nbsp;19% in value to&nbsp;$4.8 billion.
D.R. Horton had 37,400&nbsp;homes in inventory, of which 25,700&nbsp;were unsold as of September 30, 2024.
EPS was&nbsp;$3.92,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the consensus of&nbsp;$4.17.</a>
Return on equity (ROE) was&nbsp;19.9% for FY24, and homebuilding pre-tax return on inventory (ROI) was 27.8%.
The company&#8217;s operating cash flow totaled&nbsp;$2.2 billion in FY24. As of September 30, 2024, the cash balance was&nbsp;$4.5 billion, and the available capacity on its credit facilities was $3.1 billion, for a total liquidity of&nbsp;$7.6 billion.
D.R. Horton repurchased 3.4 million shares for&nbsp;$561.2&nbsp;million during the quarter. The company&#8217;s remaining stock repurchase authorization as of September 30, 2024,&nbsp;was&nbsp;$3.6 billion.

David Auld, Executive Chairman, said, &#8220;While mortgage rates have decreased from their highs earlier this year, many potential homebuyers expect rates to be lower in 2025. We believe that rate volatility and uncertainty are causing some buyers to stay on the sidelines in the near term.&#8221;
&#8220;To help spur demand and address affordability, we are continuing to use incentives such as mortgage rate buydowns, and we have continued to start and sell more of our homes with smaller floor plans.&#8221;
&#8220;The supply of both new and existing homes at affordable price points is still generally limited, and demographics supporting housing demand are favorable. With a focus on affordable product offerings, 37,400 homes in inventory and continued improvement in our construction cycle times, we are well positioned for fiscal 2025.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;IShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITB#BATS">ITB</a>) and&nbsp;Invesco Building &amp; Construction ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKB#NYSE">PKB</a>).
