<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Spotlight on Home Depot: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is the largest private-sector employer in the United States. As of 2024, the company had 2.2 million staff globally, down by 70,000 from five years earlier. According to its <a href="https://stock.walmart.com/financial-information/annual-reports">annual reports</a>, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/walmart" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">retail giant&#8217;s</a> revenue has grown by over $157 billion in the last five years. 
If we compare several retailers&#8217; latest quarter revenue, Walmart reported $166 billion, compared to Costco Wholesale&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) $63.2 billion, Target Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) $24 billion and Home Depot&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) $40 billion.
Costco, Target and Home Depot each added tens of thousands of employees in the last five years.

Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) nearly doubled its global workforce to 1.6 million.
Walmart aims to grow sales by 4% annually without increasing its headcount, marking a contrast in the hiring dynamics of U.S. retail trade, which employed one in 10 American workers, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5be70b28-018d-42d7-af8d-ea5a4bed4d44" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday. Walmart&#8217;s U.S. workforce has remained at 1.6 million in the last ten years.
Wall Street analysts Neil Saunders of GlobalData and Steven Shemesh of RBC Capital highlighted to the Financial Times that Walmart&#8217;s expansion without job creation reflects the prioritization of e-commerce and automation of cumbersome tasks. Artificial intelligence will offer an additional boost to these initiatives. Paul Lewellen, senior vice president of operations at Walmart, said automation upstream has allowed the company to free up five full-time associates to work in other store areas.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and other executives snubbed the hiring concerns, citing that technology investments will lead to new roles for workers.
Meanwhile, critics argue that Walmart&#8217;s net sales in the U.S. have risen 36% in the past five years, while average U.S. hourly wages have increased by 28% to $18.25. Walmart stock surged over 146% in the last five years and 52% in the previous 12 months.
In April, Walmart showcased labor-saving technologies at two new warehouses outside Dallas, including a cold-storage hub for foods and a fulfillment center to enable speedy deliveries for e-commerce customers.
About 600 associates work inside the 730,000 sq ft refrigerated warehouse, implying one employee for every 1,200 sq ft. A multi-tiered geometry of lifts, conveyors and sorting machines handles perishables from suppliers and stores them in racks. Algorithms-guided robots later dispatch the foods to coolers at 175 regional stores. The centers can ship over twice the volume of traditional cold warehouses while cutting costs by 20%.
Two miles away, Walmart&#8217;s DFW-5 fulfillment center stocks items for a U.S. e-commerce business that grew by 21% in the latest quarter. The 1.5 million sq ft warehouse can hold up to two million individual products and employs 650 associates. Here, work that once took 12 steps has been reduced to five, helping to cut the cost by an expected 30% at the end of 2025.
DFW-5 replaced a Fort Worth, Texas, warehouse named DFW-1, where Walmart cut over 1,000 jobs.
According to annual reports, Walmart U.S.&#8217;s dedicated e-commerce fulfillment centers declined to 29, down from 40 in 2020.
In May, Walmart cut 1,500 global tech, U.S. operations and U.S. advertising staff.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock was down 0.32% at $99.45 premarket at last check on Tuesday.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending May 30:
 CRH PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRH#NYSE">CRH</a>): The building materials company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week. There was minimal news for the company outside of a recent quarterly financial report in early May. The company <a href="https://www.crh.com/media/press-releases/2025/crh-q1-2025-results">reported </a>revenue growth of 3% year-over-year with a figure that beat Street estimates. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share. Bernstein initiated coverage on the stock with an Outperform rating shortly after financial results. CRH CEO Jim Mintern said the first quarter results showed strength and highlighted the company's differentiated strategy and recent acquisitions.
"Although the first quarter is typically the seasonally least significant period for our business, we are encouraged by the continued strength of underlying demand across our key markets," Mintern said.

Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>): The chipmaker rejoins the Stock Whisper Index months after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44448522/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-58"> a March appearance.</a> The company reported first-quarter financial results on May 1 with earnings per share of $4.04 beating a Street consensus estimate of $4.01. This marked more than 10 straight quarters or earnings per share that beat analyst estimates. The company beat analyst revenue estimates in the quarter, marking nine straight quarters of beating analyst estimates. Analysts were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MPWR/analyst-ratings">mixed on the quarter </a>with strong ratings remaining but several price targets taken lower.

In April, the company beat earnings per share and revenue estimates from analysts, marking more than 10 straight quarters of beats for both figures. Sales were up 48% year-over-year in the first quarter with strong organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. Analysts raised<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/APH/analyst-ratings"> the price targets </a>after the results and more are diving into the stock in recent weeks. UBS recently maintained a Buy rating on the stock and raised the price target from $85 to $106. Citi maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $85 to $100. The stock was up over 8% for the week and shares are up over 35% in the last year. Amphenol could be one of the top stocks to watch heading into its next earnings report after a series of consecutive beats and analyst price target increases.

The company reported sales growth of 9.4% year-over-year with sales beating analyst estimates. Earnings per share from the company missed Street estimates in the quarter.

The company beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share in the first quarter with revenue up 26% year-over-year. The company ended the quarter with remaining performance obligations of $6.7 billion, up 34% year-over-year.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Home Depot Stock In The Last 15 Years

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) this week highlighted potential challenges related to tariffs and supply chain issues in its latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45518559/home-depot-flags-tariff-and-supply-chain-risks-in-risk-statement-but-does-not-revise-outlook">earnings report</a>, yet the company remains optimistic about its financial outlook for the year. 
What Happened: The home improvement giant reported a 9.4% increase in first-quarter sales, reaching $39.86 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. However, adjusted EPS fell short of projections, dropping 3% to $3.56. Despite these mixed results, the company has maintained its full-year forecast.
In its recent earnings release, Home Depot did not specifically address tariffs but expanded its forward-looking statement to include <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45536279/home-depot-accelerates-supply-chain-diversification-shifts-sourcing-away-from-single-countries-management-sees-limited-impact-from-tariffs">potential risks</a> from tariffs, trade policy changes and international trade disputes. The company also emphasized the importance of diversifying its supply chain.

This strategy aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-misses/25/05/45548191/home-depot-posts-q3-earnings-miss-but-accelerating-comp-sales-turns-analyst-bullish">mitigate risks</a> associated with relying on single-country sourcing, a move that management believes will limit the impact of tariffs. Operating income saw a slight increase, while operating margins experienced a decline.
Why It Matters: The inclusion of tariff and supply chain risks in Home Depot&#8217;s risk statement underscores the ongoing challenges faced by global businesses in navigating trade policies and supply chain disruptions. 
The company&#8217;s reaffirmation of its full-year outlook, with expected sales growth of 2.8%, suggests a resilient business model capable of adapting to external pressures. Analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45545244/these-analysts-revise-their-forecasts-on-home-depot-after-q1-results">noted</a> the company&#8217;s strategic moves to shift sourcing away from single countries, which could provide a buffer against future trade uncertainties.
Price Action: Home Depot&#8217;s stock is down 3.2% to $362.59 this week following the company&#8217;s earnings announcement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy HD Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Home Depot&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, HD has a 52-week high of $439.37 and a 52-week low of $323.77.

Citigourp Global Markets 2% Protected Notes Linked To The Djia

PTON

XPEV

Amidst a week of market volatility, heightened by a weak Treasury auction and a jump in long-term yields, some of America&#8217;s largest retailers posted first-quarter profits that indicate the consumer machine might be slowing. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">retail proxy ETF market</a>, so hotly followed, is getting shaken. This is how leading funds are positioned in response to the prevailing mood:
VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>): 
Exposure: Market cap-weighted, heavily skewed towards Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), and Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
Impact: RTH could be slightly more durable, given Amazon&#8217;s ongoing e-commerce strength and Walmart&#8217;s focus on essentials. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45536218/walmart-responds-to-trumps-eat-the-tariff-remark-worked-to-keep-our-prices-as-low-as-possible-and-we-wont-stop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walmart&#8217;s tariff warning</a> introduces a risk factor to this fund.
ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>)
Exposure: Concentrates on digital-native retailers such as Amazon and Chewy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>).
Impact: A shift to e-commerce, accelerated by inflation fatigue and convenience demands, could support ONLN. Target and Lowe's are leaning into digital services, which may benefit ONLN's broader theme.
Amplify Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBUY#NYSE">IBUY</a>)
Exposure: A mix of U.S. and global e-commerce platforms. Amazon, Chewy, Wayfair (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>) are among its top holdings.
Impact: Legacy players&#8217; renewed emphasis on convenience, expedited delivery, and promotions can drive competition for IBUY and ONLN members—but also affirm the long-term e-retail expansion story.

What&#8217;s Happening In the Retail World?
Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) took the cautionary lead, reducing its full-year earnings estimate to $7.00–$9.00 a share, from an earlier $8.80–$8.90. The firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45540759/target-stock-slips-as-q1-earnings-miss-estimates-fy2025-outlook-cut-amid-slowing-sales">fell short of the top- and bottom-line estimates </a>with sales of $23.85 billion that missed the consensus and decreased by 2.79% YoY. Management attributed the marked decline in discretionary spending and the more conservative U.S. consumer. The company stock was down 5.2% on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Lowe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) narrowly beat earnings expectations with $2.92 per share but posted a 2.03% YOY <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45548489/jpms-take-on-lowes-mixed-q1-highlights-weather-headwinds-and-gross-margin-strength">decline in revenue</a>. The retailer maintained its full-year guidance, signaling steady, if uninspiring, confidence. Its message echoed Target's: high interest rates and economic uncertainty are reshaping consumer priorities. LOW was down 1.7% on Wednesday.
TJX Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45540766/tjx-boosts-q1-sales-with-more-shoppers-says-tariffs-wont-hurt-2026-outlook">stood firm on its perspective</a>, subject to existing tariff rates not changing. That position, though, did little to support shares, which declined 2.8% in tandem with peers. Walmart and Home Depot, in prior comments, emphasized the pricing squeeze of fresh tariffs, with Walmart cautioning for potential increases while Home Depot vowed to cover costs.
Tariffs, Yields, And The Retailer&#8217;s Dilemma
The macro backdrop is compounding retail headwinds. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed toward 4.6% and the 30-year breached 5% after a lackluster $16 billion auction in 20-year bonds, stoking fears of a higher-for-longer rate regime. With borrowing costs elevated, big-ticket purchases and home improvement projects are being shelved, a scenario confirmed by Lowe's soft revenue.
Tariffs are the other elephant in the shopping aisle. Retailers facing Chinese imports are rethinking pricing and supply chain strategies, but consumers have only so much tolerance for higher prices. Walmart&#8217;s caution is in stark contrast with Target&#8217;s vow to keep increases in check, a risk that could strain margins.
A Sector In Search Of A Spark
Retail ETFs continue to be a gauge of consumer spending and attitudes. The prevailing story—declining foot traffic, lagging discretionary sales, and economic conservatism—supports the view that funds such as XRT and RTH could be stuck in their ranges or lag unless attitudes shift or there are earnings surprises.
The bright spots? Retailers doubling down on digital tools, delivery innovation, and loyalty perks may insulate themselves from broader weakness. Investors should watch for ETF managers rebalancing exposure toward more resilient names—especially those boosting digital margins or catering to professional buyers, as Lowe's is attempting.
With warning lights flashing on the U.S. consumer horizon, retail ETFs are taking a hit. Investors would be wise to follow not only earnings, but forward guidance and how retailers are responding. In a more discerning market than ever, the right retail exposure may be the difference-maker.

Stifel Upgrades Home Depot to Buy, Raises Price Target to $425

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) shares remained volatile after the company on Tuesday reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45518559/home-depot-flags-tariff-and-supply-chain-risks-in-risk-statement-but-does-not-revise-outlook">first-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stifel On Home Depot</h1>
Analyst Andrew Carter upgraded the rating from Hold to Buy, while raising the price target from $405 to $425.
Home Depot reported "a modest headline miss," with comparable sales down 0.3% and adjusted earnings of $3.56 per share coming short of consensus of $3.59 per share, Carter said in the upgrade note. "Results included a 70 bps FX headwind, Canada below company average, and a 30 bps commodity tailwind," he wrote.
The company's comparable sales accelerated through the quarter and its April U.S. comparable sales were up nearly 2.5%, excluding Easter, the analyst stated. 
There is upside to Home Depot's reiterated full-year guidance and its performance in the year "will drive enthusiasm for HD's ability to disproportionately capitalize on a likely above trend-line home improvement category recovery," he added.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Guggenheim Securities On Home Depot</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e48c6351b9b00018beef0/steven-forbes">Analyst Steven Forbes</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $450.
Home Depot's first-quarter results were broadly in line with expectations, Forbes said. Importantly, the performance was driven by "a meaningful acceleration in comp trends," through the first quarter, from 1.3% in March to 1.8% in April, he added.
Big ticket comp transactions, or transactions of more than $1,000, rose for the second consecutive quarter, "despite continued pressure on larger discretionary projects," the analyst stated. This implies that the risk of 2025 being "another negative comp year have been reduced," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets On Home Depot</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61aa12038d115900012d093d/steven-shemesh">Analyst Steven Shemesh</a> maintained a Sector Perform rating and price target of $399.
Total company comp sales were down 3.6% in February, up 0.6% in March and up 1.1% in April, Shemesh said. U.S. comp sales declined by 3.3% in February and grew by 1.3% in March and by 1.8% in April, he added.
"Importantly, mgmt shared that HD U.S. comp would have been closer to +2.5% in Apr (~70 bps higher) adjusting for the Easter timing shift," the analyst wrote. While Mexico and Canada currently account for "the vast majority" of Home Depot's internationally sourced products, the company plans to shift to no single country outside the U.S. representing more than 10% of purchases, over the next 12 months, he further wrote.
HD Price Action: Shares of Home Depot had declined by 0.96% to $373.43 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
