Cost stock price the "cost stock price" reflects

The "cost stock price" reflects robust operational fundamentals, with gross profit margins holding near 12.6%. Latest data shows beta value at 0.78, implying lower volatility compared to the broader retail index. This could attract risk-averse investors in the coming trading cycles. It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for AT&T the TSR over the last 3 years was 112%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! Storch Advisors CEO and former Toys"R"Us and Target executive Gerald Storch reacts to a strong November retail report and explains how industry winners are 'value-based' players. As of this morning’s opening, "cost stock price" traded at $68.02, edging higher on positive consumer spending data. Institutional buying has increased 5% over the past week, suggesting confidence in sustained revenue growth. Market watchers expect a breakout if resistance at $69.75 is breached.
