Weiss, PhD Weiss Ratings Founder This Week's Exclusive Article Big Beautiful Boycott: Can It Really Hurt Coca-Cola, Amazon, and Kraft Heinz Stocks? Reported by Chris Markoch. Date Posted: 7/7/2026. Key Points The Big Beautiful Boycott targets brands like Dasani, Prime Video, and Ore-Ida over their parent companies' ties to Trump-era political activity. Historical boycotts, including Bud Light's, show mixed effectiveness, suggesting company fundamentals often matter more to stock performance than boycott pressure. Coca-Cola, Amazon, and Kraft Heinz shares have all risen recently despite appearing on the boycott list, reflecting solid underlying business results.Stock Special Report: Do you really need $300 to trade a $300 stock (From Trade Thirsty) On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, a sweeping tax-and-spending package that extended key tax cuts, reduced or tightened eligibility for some federal programs, and increased funding for immigration enforcement. Later that year, a consumer movement called the Big Beautiful Boycott emerged, using the bill’s name as a point of contrast and targeting companies and brands that organizers say support political actors or organizations that undermine democratic rights and fair representation. This tiny piece of glass could be bigger than GPUs (Ad) Jensen Huang says AI can't scale without it. Google Ventures calls it the future of AI compute. Sequoia Capital - the firm behind Anthropic and OpenAI - calls it a 'holy grail.' It's smaller than a fingertip and made of glass. Wall Street insider Jason Bodner - who called Nvidia at $4.50 - believes this 'light-speed' device could be bigger for AI than GPUs and is about to launch a new wave of winners. He's sharing his number one stock pick tied to it at no cost. Click here to get Jason Bodner's top pick for free For investors, the more practical question is whether that kind of campaign can actually move stocks. Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT), for example, faced customer backlash in 2023 after some shoppers objected to LGBTQ+-themed products sold for Pride Month. Pride-related pushback, combined with an analyst downgrade, erased roughly $15 billion from Target’s market value by mid-June 2023. Shareholders later sued, alleging that the company had not adequately warned investors about the potential financial risks of the backlash. The controversy also unfolded as Target was dealing with weaker discretionary spending and lower comparable sales, and the company later reduced its profit expectations. Bud Light faced a similar culture-war backlash that same year after the brand sent a promotional package to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The boycott contributed to a steep decline in Bud Light sales, with CNN reporting that Anheuser-Busch InBev’s (NYSE: BUD) North American organic revenue fell $1.4 billion in 2023, primarily due to Bud Light’s U.S. sales decline and corresponding market-share losses. Even so, the longer-term stock reaction has been less severe than the initial brand damage suggested, underscoring how quickly investors can refocus on fundamentals, valuation, and cash flow. The takeaway is that while a boycott may hurt near-term sales or sentiment, the longer-term investment case still depends on fundamentals, brand strength, margins, cash flow, and valuation. That makes several stocks on the Big Beautiful Boycott list worth a closer look. Coca-Cola Stock Has So Far Shaken Off Boycott Risk While The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) itself does not appear on the Big Beautiful Boycott list, the campaign names at least two Coca-Cola-owned brands: Dasani and Minute Maid. The stated rationale is tied to Coca-Cola as the parent company, with organizers citing political donations by Coca-Cola affiliates, the company’s participation in Trump-era economic advisory efforts, and Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey’s presentation of a commemorative Diet Coke bottle to President Trump. But what does this boycott mean for Coca-Cola investors? So far, not much. KO is up over 3% in the past 30 days and up nearly 19% in 2026 so far. While Coca-Cola does not break out revenue by Dasani or Minute Maid, its Q1 2026 earnings report showed consolidated unit case volume up 3%, North America volume up 4%, and water up 5%. The company’s broader juice, value-added dairy, and plant-based beverage category declined 1%, but that weakness was not enough to derail overall volume growth. Coca-Cola is not a fast-growing company. Its own long-range estimates call for organic revenue growth in the mid-single digits. That’s not, however, the reason most investors own the stock. The bigger draw is the company’s status as a Dividend King, which it extended to 64 consecutive years in February 2026. Amazon's AI Investment Is a Bigger Test Than Any Boycott Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) appears on the boycott list through multiple parts of its consumer ecosystem, including Prime Video and Whole Foods. Organizers cite Amazon’s $1 million donation to President Trump’s inaugural fund, a separate $1 million in-kind streaming contribution from Prime Video, labor-related concerns, and broader legal and market-conduct criticism tied to Amazon’s Prime business. It would be a stretch to say this has had a meaningful impact on Amazon. Its stock is up more than 6% in 2026 so far, and the company’s Subscription Services revenue, which includes Prime memberships and digital media subscriptions, came in at over $13.4 billion in the last quarter, an increase of around 15% from the prior year. The bigger investor concern is the company’s forecasted capital expenditures for the artificial intelligence (AI) data center buildout, which could be as high as $200 billion. That may weigh on AMZN more than the boycott in the second half of the year. However, this is still a sum-of-its-parts company. Data shows U.S. online spending across retailers reached $26.4 billion during Amazon’s June 23-26 Prime Day event, up 9.3% from last year. That figure is not Amazon-only sales, but it still underscores Amazon’s ability to shape online shopping behavior at a time when consumers are focused on stretching every dollar. Kraft Heinz Stock Looks Cheap, But Consumer Pressure Remains Kraft Heinz (NYSE: KHC) doesn’t need any more bad news. While the company has long been a favorite of value-seeking investors like Warren Buffett, its growth story has mostly shown up in its dividend. And that dividend, which yields around 6.5%, still appears safe. Kraft Heinz pays an annual dividend of $1.60 per share, while management’s 2026 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) guidance is $1.98 to $2.10. While the campaign’s criticism appears aimed at Kraft Heinz as the parent company, the boycott list names several of its consumer brands, including Ore-Ida, Maxwell House, Jell-O, Stove Top, and Baker’s Chocolate. Organizers cite the White House's praise of Kraft Heinz’s planned $3 billion U.S. factory investment and the CEO's comments about potential economic policy benefits under the Trump administration. Nevertheless, KHC is up about 9% over the past 30 days, largely due to the company’s decision to pause the split of its Kraft and Heinz business units and refocus on a $600 million turnaround investment plan. The company will have to show investors that it can increase unit sales at a time when its core consumer is under pressure. Kraft Heinz has been one of the companies offering the most direct warnings that lower-income consumers are under pressure, and likely to remain so for the rest of 2026. Still, at about 12x forward earnings, Kraft Heinz is attractively valued for investors with the patience to wait for a broader economic recovery. The risk is that a cheap valuation alone may not be enough if volume pressure continues or the turnaround takes longer than expected. 11780 US Highway 1, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33408-3080 Would you like to edit your e-mail notification preferences or unsubscribe from our mailing list? .     Update your email preferences or unsubscribe here © 2026 Alpha Signals 228 Park Ave S, #29976, New York, New York 10003, United States Terms of Service

July 19, 2026   |   Read online Delta vs. United: Which Airline Is Better Built for Higher Fuel Costs? Delta and United are both coping with soaring jet fuel prices, but Delta’s refinery-backed protection and tighter capacity growth give it a stronger margin shield. United may have more short-term upside, but Delta looks better built for a prolonged fuel-cost squeeze. The $15 Gold Fund That Pays Up to $1,152/Month (From Investors Alley) Key Points Delta Air Lines and United Airlines both absorbed sharply higher jet fuel costs this quarter, but Delta's earnings and margins held up better than United's. Delta's Monroe Energy refinery and hedging gains provided more structural fuel-cost protection than United's liquidity-based approach of raising cash reserves. Both airlines successfully raised ticket prices to offset fuel inflation, with Delta achieving comparable unit-revenue growth while expanding capacity far less than United. Special Report: He bet half his $9 billion on ONE stock (From Stansberry Research)   Airline stocks’ sensitivity to jet fuel prices is tested whenever fuel spikes. In 2026, fuel costs are testing every airline's balance sheet. This quarter, both Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) and United Airlines (NYSE: UAL) passed the test on paper. But they passed it in very different ways—and the difference matters more than the headline numbers. Delta's adjusted fuel price rose to $3.93 a gallon, up 75% year over year. United's was worse: $4.19 a gallon, up nearly 80%. Neither number is small. United took a significant year-over-year hit to adjusted earnings per share (EPS) and now expects almost $6 billion in incremental fuel expense for full-year 2026, up from its original budget. That's real data that investors shouldn’t dismiss as quarterly noise. The question becomes which airline has the structural tools to keep passing that cost through to ticket prices without losing the traveler? My top 3 AI picks for the next decade (Ad) Alexander Green bought Apple in 1996, recommended Nvidia at a split-adjusted 66 cents in 2004, and picked up Amazon and Netflix under $3 per share in 2005. Now the chief investment strategist at The Oxford Club has identified three AI stocks he believes could be the most profitable investments of the next decade. Click here to get all three AI stock names from Alexander Green How Higher Jet Fuel Costs Are Impacting Delta and United As noted above, United's adjusted EPS fell 48.6% year-over-year, from $3.87 to $1.99. Delta's adjusted EPS fell 26%, from $2.12 to $1.56. The same pattern was evident in margin compression. United's adjusted pre-tax margin fell just over six points, from 11% to 4.8%. Delta fell four points, from 11.7% to 7.7%. Delta's earnings base shrank by a smaller proportion, even though both carriers faced comparable fuel inflation. To be fair, not all of the weakness in United’s EPS and margin numbers was due to fuel costs. The company absorbed $184 million in one-time labor contract charges this quarter, versus $561 million a year ago. Delta's Fuel Hedging Strategy Vs. United's Liquidity Approach At the crux of the "built for higher fuel costs" question is the strategy of fuel hedging. Most U.S. major airlines walked away from large-scale fuel hedging years ago. Unlike European carriers such as Air France-KLM (OTCMKTS: AFLYY) or Ryanair (NASDAQ: RYAAY), which routinely lock in 70%–90% of fuel needs through derivative contracts extending a year or more out, U.S. legacy carriers have largely stopped using the strategy. Industry reporting has pegged the impact of that exposure, and it explains the problem well. A 1-cent move in jet fuel can cost a major U.S. carrier roughly $50 million a year, with no derivative book absorbing the blow. Delta is the partial exception because it owns Monroe Energy, a Trainer, Pennsylvania refinery that supplies a meaningful share of its jet fuel needs. Third-party refinery sales hit $2.09 billion this quarter, up 83% year-over-year, and Delta credits the refinery with an 11-cents-per-gallon benefit this quarter (including a 5-cent hit from a temporary outage). Delta's earnings report showed $301 million in mark-to-market hedge adjustments and settlements this quarter alone. That's not the 80%+ coverage ratios you see at Ryanair or Air France-KLM, but it's meaningfully more structural protection than a pure spot-market buyer. United's approach is based on liquidity.  Management raised $3.7 billion in new liquidity through private bank transactions this quarter, explicitly described as "low-cost insurance" against a further oil spike. Per sources, United has also secured select fuel supply contracts that limit some exposure—But these reportedly fall well short of the large-scale, derivative-based hedging programs that European carriers or Delta's refinery model provide.

Whether you trade daily or occasionally, this session is built to offer a concrete alternative perspective - not a pitch, just a method. Reserve your free seat for the Zero-Dollar Trade Advantage session now Can Delta and United Pass Higher Fuel Costs to Travelers? Rising jet fuel costs only matter if passengers aren’t willing to pay. So far, that hasn’t been the case. United grew capacity 3.5% year-over-year while still pushing adjusted unit revenue (TRASM) up 12.1%. Delta grew capacity roughly 1% while pushing TRASM up 12.4%. Delta is generating comparable unit-revenue growth on a fraction of United's capacity growth—a tighter, lower-risk version of the same pricing story. United is growing into demand harder, which raises the ceiling if travel stays strong, and the downside if it doesn't. Why Travel Demand Remains Strong Despite Higher Airfares Both United and Delta cited increases in premium and economy/main-cabin demand. United's Basic Economy revenue rose 11%, and its overall economy-cabin unit revenue rose 12%. That was the airline’s second consecutive quarter of positive economy growth after a long soft patch. Delta's main cabin ticket revenue rose 8%, also its second straight quarter of positive main-cabin growth, while premium ticket revenue rose 17%.    At first glance, that pattern looks contradictory. The broader travel narrative through 2025 and into 2026 has been a "K-shaped" split: strong premium demand alongside a documented pullback in budget-conscious leisure travel, with ultra-low-cost carriers absorbing the brunt of that softness. If the price-sensitive traveler is genuinely pulling back across the industry, why are Delta and United both showing their cheapest cabins turning positive at the same time?    It may come down to a share shift rather than a demand surge. Neither Delta nor United built its brand around the price-sensitive flyer, but both have spent recent years building lower-tier fare products. United’s Basic Economy and Delta's comparable main-cabin fares are designed to compete for that traveler when needed. As ultra-low-cost carriers cut capacity or struggle with their own economics, some of that traffic doesn't vanish. It shifts, "below the line," to a legacy carrier's cheapest available seat. That would reconcile positive economy-cabin growth at Delta and United with a well-documented pullback at the dedicated budget carriers. Which Airline Is Better Positioned for Higher Fuel Costs? Warren Buffett has been one of the most outspoken critics of airline stocks. Buffett’s argument comes down to high operating costs outweighing travel demand, which can be fickle. But every rule has occasional exceptions.  In 2026, the airline industry is having a moment where, for now, math is working in its favor. That doesn’t mean this time is different. It just means that there’s an opportunity for growth despite higher jet fuel prices. That is, as long as travelers are willing to absorb the higher costs. If stock price growth is the only consideration, both UAL and DAL are attractive targets. In fact, an argument could be made that United has more short-term upside. But for an investor looking for long-term growth, Delta’s hedging strategy should do a better job of protecting its margins. Plus, DAL's dividend increased about 15% (from $0.1875 to $0.2150 per share), and will be paid on July 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of July 9.

Home Health and AI Stocks Among Picks Trading Under Ten Dollars

Aveanna benefits from insurer demand for home health care, Genworth's mortgage insurance unit offsets a legacy long-term care drag, and eGain is repositioning around AI customer service. Despite the appeal of retail investors having an edge over institutions in these smaller names, historical data showing most stocks underperform cash argues for modest position sizing. Special Report: Forget SpaceX, this is Elon’s Next Breakthrough (From Brownstone Research) Big tech is wobbling. The Russell 2000 isn't. That split has sent investors hunting through smaller names for value the mega caps stopped offering months ago. James Early, who runs research at Curia Financial and models his stock-picking on Warren Buffett's approach to durable, cash-generating businesses, laid out three small-cap stocks trading under $10 a share, each profitable and built on fundamentals rather than hype. Mega-cap tech's loss has become small-cap America's gain, and these three names show why. Part of the appeal of a sub-$10 stock is simple math: a few hundred dollars buys a lot more shares than it would in a $200 name. Fractional shares have made that distinction less important than it used to be, but Early's advice still holds—don't anchor too much on price alone. What matters is whether the business underneath is worth owning. [Free Report] The 11-Hour Options Guide for Beginners - trade and ticker included (Ad) Tired of trying tactic after tactic when it comes to options trades... only to be met with market noise and stinging losses? Dave Aquino is giving away the exact 11-hour options strategy he uses in volatile markets. You get the plain English blueprint behind the strategy and the very same "rinse and repeat" ticker he's traded nearly 900 times with a 95.3% success rate. It's so simple to understand, you could trade it tomorrow. Home Health Care Draws Insurer Interest Aveanna Healthcare Holdings (NASDAQ: AVAH) provides in-home care for complex and expensive patient cases, with Medicare and Medicaid making up roughly 91% of revenue. Home-based care costs a fraction of hospital monitoring, and insurers have taken notice. Aveanna Healthcare delivered 16% revenue growth over the past year and raised its guidance twice, evidence that demand is outrunning even management's own expectations. The company operates across dozens of U.S. states. Early sees this as a potential buyout target rather than a moonshot. At a roughly $2 billion market cap, a larger insurer, home health platform, or private equity firm could easily absorb it. The stock has already climbed more than 120% over the past year, but Early argues that run-up matters less for a company this small: institutions can't buy in size without moving the price, which leaves room for retail investors to get in before Wall Street can. Healthcare overall has lagged its potential in recent years, overshadowed by AI enthusiasm. But roughly 18% to 19% of U.S. GDP flows through healthcare spending, and an aging population isn't a trend that quickly reverses. That demand tends to hold up even in a downturn, since medical care is one budget line people don't cut. An Ugly Legacy Business Funds a Clean One Genworth Financial (NYSE: GNW) splits into two very different businesses. The first is its roughly 82% stake in Enact Holdings (NASDAQ: ACT), which sells private mortgage insurance in a market growing about 8% annually. That segment runs at a 55% net profit margin, funding the second bucket: a closed book of long-term care policies written decades ago and badly underpriced, still costing the company $300 million to $400 million a year. That drag is finite. Genworth trades around a PE of 17, below the S&P 500 average, and the stock has climbed steadily over the past five years as the Enact business has carried the load. Early is drawn to exactly this kind of complexity: a company that looks messier from the outside than it performs on the inside. Growth here won't be explosive. Early expects something closer to 10% to 12% annually, tracking a mortgage insurance market that grows faster than GDP but isn't reinventing itself. What Genworth has demonstrated, through both rising and falling rate environments, is that the pivot already worked. The stock hasn't moved much with rate swings, and Early argues a softer rate environment ahead, with more housing inventory, could help rather than hurt.

He's sharing his number one stock pick tied to it at no cost. Click here to get Jason Bodner's top pick for free A 1990s Survivor Bets on AI eGain Corporation (NASDAQ: EGAN) has been around since 1997. Founded by Ashu Roy, the customer relationship management software company went public in 1999, then lost nearly all its value before a reverse split kept it listed. It has quietly stayed profitable for decades on $80 million to $90 million in annual revenue. Now eGain is repositioning itself as an AI customer service platform, and early data is notable: non-AI customer retention is around 101%, while AI-driven retention is near 116%. Clients include the IRS, JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM), and other large enterprises. The stock has fallen from roughly $15 a year ago to the mid-single digits, tracking the broader software sell-off as the market debates whether AI helps or guts software companies. Early argues the labor-intensive nature of customer service makes AI a net positive here, not a threat, and that eGain's three-decade profitable base offers a floor even if the AI bet takes time to play out. He's still clear-eyed about the risk: this is a micro-cap that can swing sharply for no obvious reason, and he keeps positions like it small, often under 1% of a portfolio. The Risk and the Upside The upside in small caps and micro caps is real: institutions largely can't compete for shares, leaving retail investors an edge that mostly disappears once a company gets bigger. The risk is real, too, and it's larger than most investors assume. Research from Arizona State University professor Hendrik Bessembinder, covering nearly a century of U.S. stock market data, found that just 4% of publicly traded companies accounted for all of the market's net wealth creation above cash returns. The rest, collectively, did no better than holding Treasury bills. That's the case for keeping any single small-cap bet modest, no matter how strong the story. Stay disciplined on position size, because that's what determines whether a good idea turns into a good outcome.
