By George Banko

April 25, 2022

Good morning Wake-Up Watchlisters! While you’re sipping on some oolong tea you’ll see stock futures were down as Wall Street heads into a busy week with several major tech companies scheduled to report earnings.

With markets all over the place, many are asking ‘will the market crash in 2022?’ On Saturday, April 30, at 6 p.m., co-founder of Monument Traders Alliance Bryan Bottarelli and The Oxford Club’s Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld will square off to answer that question. We’re calling it “The Big Debate: Will the Market Crash in 2022?” and it’s entirely free to attend.

During the event, Marc and Bryan will debate where the market is heading and which investing strategy is most effective in today’s market. Later this week, you’ll begin to receive reminder emails about The Big Debate. (Again, it’s entirely free to attend!) Keep an eye on your inbox for more details.

Here’s a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.

Highwoods Properties is up 4.81% premarket ahead of the company’s first-quarter 2022 earnings report. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Highwoods Properties first-quarter stands at 97 cents per share, indicating an increase of 6.6% from the prior-year period’s figure. The company also recently declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock for the quarter. Highwoods Properties is looking strong.

Dollar General (NYSE: DG)

Caesars Entertainment (Nasdaq: CZR)

Caesars Entertainment is up 2.10% premarket as the company is set to host the 2022 NFL Draft. With more major sports leagues now embracing sports betting. – plus more people are getting out of their houses as mask mandates are lifted – Caesars is looking strong right now.

Host Hotels & Resorts (Nasdaq: HST)

Host Hotels & Resorts is up 2.09% premarket after the company sold its 1,780-room New York Times Square Hotel for about $373 million. Over the past quarter, shares of Host Hotels have risen 24.41% and are up 20.77% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 0.36% and 6.78%, respectively. Host Hotels is a stock to keep an eye on.

Nucor (NYSE: NUE)

Nucor Corp. is down 4.46% premarket as the steel company is projected to see earnings per share drop below $10 next year (according to analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence). The stock was up 11% last week, but market pressure is leading to a lot of investors selling off. However, with the war in Ukraine still going on, there is a chance of historically high profits lasting for the company.

A stock falling back to earth isn’t neccesarily a bad thing. Last week in The War Room we noticed Nucor’s growth was a key buying signal to invest in another steel company. The result? A big profit for members. Click here to unlock more trades like these.
