Home Depot has been doing well, outperforming its industry with a 17.8% increase over the last six months. Their sales got a boost from a recent acquisition and favorable weather conditions. They’re also investing in their supply chain and tech to keep improving.
On the other hand, RTX has seen a 45.4% rise in its stock over the past year, thanks to strong orders from the Pentagon and a rebound in commercial air traffic. However, they’re facing some challenges with rising crude prices and supply chain issues.
Applied Materials has gained 25.9% in the last year, driven by growth in their semiconductor business. But they’re also dealing with some softness in certain segments and geopolitical tensions that could impact their performance.
For Kewaunee Scientific, their stock has skyrocketed by 126.9% over the past year, thanks to strong demand for lab solutions. However, they’re facing some risks like declining international sales and rising costs.
AXIL Brands, however, has struggled, with a 65.5% drop in stock value. They’re dealing with cash flow issues and heavy reliance on a few vendors, but their e-commerce growth is a silver lining.
