Despite the recent rally, I find myself observing that Pepsi still lags behind this year, but interestingly, over the last five years, its stock has inched up by more than 6%. However, this increase doesn’t account for the substantial dividend it offers, which currently stands at about 4%. Remarkably, Pepsi has consistently increased its dividend for an impressive 53 consecutive years. This remarkable feat lands it among the elite group of companies known as Dividend Kings, a title reserved for those who have raised their dividends for at least half a century.

In my observation, RTX emerged as a result of the amalgamation between Raytheon, a defense-oriented entity, and the predominantly commercial aerospace sector of United Technologies. During the second quarter, it reported earnings of $1.56 per share, surpassing the expected Wall Street average of $1.43 per share on sales of $20.6 billion. Remarkably, this revenue figure represents a 9% year-on-year increase, primarily fueled by robust double-digit growth in the commercial sector.

There’s a surge of investors buying shares in Opendoor, causing its stock price to rise significantly. This relatively small company has drawn attention because many believe it could potentially offer returns of 100 times the investment – a prospect some are calling the next “100-bagger.

Federal Realty is a company specializing in real estate investments that primarily deals with retail properties. They own strip malls and mixed-use developments, with a focus on retail establishments. Compared to other retail real estate investment trusts (REITs), they manage approximately 100 properties; however, these properties are substantial in size and strategically located in areas with larger average populations and income levels compared to their closest competitors.

Although many aspire to replicate Warren Buffett’s investment success, Buffett himself advises a contrasting strategy for most individuals. During Berkshire Hathaway’s 2021 annual meeting, he suggested that purchasing an S&P 500 index fund is a shrewd move to capitalize on the stock market’s long-term growth. Even small savings can grow significantly with time, given patience and self-control.

Rivian manufactures all-electric trucks, designed for both commercial purposes (delivery vehicles) and personal use (pickups). Although the company is currently expanding its operations, it’s still experiencing significant losses at the moment. However, during the last quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, Rivian managed to achieve a gross profit, meaning that the revenue generated from selling its trucks exceeded the costs associated with their production. This is a significant milestone in the journey towards earning an overall profit.
