For Immediate ReleasesChicago, IL – November 15, 2024 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks and featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include including Snap-on Inc. SNA, Griffon Corp. GFF, Churchill Downs Inc. CHDN and Roper Technologies, Inc. ROP.Here are highlights from Friday’s Analyst Blog:4 Stocks in Focus That Recently Announced Dividend HikesWall Street has rallied over the past week, fueled by optimism following Donald Trump’s landmark victory in the U.S. Presidential election. All three major indexes hit new all-time highs, with the Dow and the S&P 500 crossing 44,000 points and 6,000 points for the first time earlier this week.Also, a 25-basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve last week has been boosting investors’ sentiment. However, there are several factors that could turn markets volatile again once the post-election enthusiasm subdues.Given this situation, cautious investors looking for a steady income and safeguarding their capital may look to hold or buy dividend-paying stocks. Four such stocks are Snap-on Inc., Griffon Corp., Churchill Downs Inc.  and Roper Technologies, Inc.Inflation Ticks HigherThe Federal Reserve’s benchmark policy rate is now in the range of 4.5-4.75% after it cut interest rates by 50 and 25 basis points in September and November, respectively. The Federal Reserve believes that inflation is on track to reach its 2% target after declining substantially over the past year.However, fresh data released on Wednesday shows that the consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2% sequentially in October and 2.6% from year-ago levels, up 0.2% from September. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, rose 0.3% month over month in October and 3.3% annually.Cautious Approach After ElectionThe Dow jumped more than 1,500 points the day after Trump won the election. The Fed’s rate cut fueled the rally, sending all three indexes on a new high. The recent rally is being driven by optimism surrounding lower taxes and lighter regulations under the Trump administration, as the president-elect is being seen as someone who openly addresses issues like the stock market and the dollar.However, the rally has stalled over the past couple of days as investors are reassessing the situation following the release of the inflation data.Also, market participants are worried about a significantly slower rate of future interest cuts due to robust macroeconomic data released earlier this month.Also, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to keep investors concerned about a full-scale war between Israel and Iran.Stocks That Declared Dividend HikesGiven this scenario, investing in dividend-paying stocks would be a wise choice. These companies maintain strong operations and consistently provide dividends, remaining profitable on account of their reliable business models. In a highly volatile market, companies that offer high dividend payouts tend to outperform those that do not pay dividends.Snap-on Inc.Snap-on is a global provider of professional tools, equipment, and related solutions for technicians, vehicle service centers, original equipment manufacturers and other industrial users.
