<h3>Uncovering the Importance of Insider Activity</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Sidoti & Co. Downgrades La-Z-Boy to Neutral

U.S. stocks could claw back their losses, although nervousness is palpable as traders play the waiting game ahead of Federal Reserve <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40466528/jackson-hole-preview-5-important-questions-ahead-of-jerome-powells-fed-speech">Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s Jackson Hole address </a>on Friday. The major averages are slightly higher early Wednesday. The CBOE Volatility Index, aka VIX, climbed more than 8% and has topped the 16 level, reflecting a slight increase in the fear sentiment. The Fed minutes due in the afternoon and the earnings reports of the day could influence trading direction.

In premarket trading on Wednesday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) edged up 0.03% to $558.85, and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gained 0.02% to $480.38, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session: 
The eight-session advance proved to be too good of an opportunity to be let gone and traders promptly took some money off the tables, and this dragged stocks lower on Tuesday. Disappointing earnings from home-improvement retailer Lowe&#8217;s Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) also served as a downside trigger. Stocks are digesting Monday&#8217;s strong gains, said fund manager Louis Navellier.
The major averages opened lower but managed to move into positive territory in early trading. They pulled back soon after and languished below the unchanged line for the remainder of the session. That said, the losses were only modest, underlining the positive momentum in the market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average snapped a five-session run, while the Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 Index retreated after eight straight sessions of gains.
Small-cap stocks underperformed, with the Russell 2,000 Index falling by over 1%. 
Seven of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors settled the session lower, led by energy stocks, while consumer staple, healthcare, real estate and communication services stocks bucked the downtrend.

Insights From Analysts:
Fund Strat Head of Research Tom Lee said his firm&#8217;s base-case assumption is for a soft landing and the Fed embarking on an easing cycle that would bring rates from a too high 5.5%. In an <a href="https://x.com/fundstrat/status/1826025019715236311">interview</a> with CNBC, the strategist calls for a 40% rally in small-cap stocks, which would mean these companies will see valuation bump up from 10 times to 14 times. Small-cap stocks that were left behind as the Fed funds rate remained high for about two years now will likely come back up, he said.
To make his case, Lee noted that M&amp;A activity is picking up, which is seen as a sign of CEO confidence. He also said the perception that small-caps are lagging in earnings growth is due to the biotech stocks, which are a fairly big cohort in the group. Small-caps are growing earnings and revenue by nearly 700 and 400 basis more than the S&amp;P 500 companies, he said, adding the catalyst will therefore be the Fed rate cut.
Comerica Chief Investment Officer John Lynch said he sees downside support for the market. &#8220;U.S. real GDP growth remains favorable, interest rates are heading lower and corporate profits are firm,&#8221; he added.&nbsp; 
&#8220;We believe these three trends will help market sentiment should any further bouts of volatility materialize in the coming months.&#8221;
Lynch also made note of the rapid roundtrip of the CBOE Volatility Index, often called the &#8220;fear gauge&#8221; in just two weeks. &#8220;This rapid decline in the VIX suggests that the market&#8217;s earlier fears were overblown and that investor confidence has returned to the equity markets,&#8221; he said.

Target, TJX And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

La-Z-Boy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LZB#NYSE">LZB</a>) reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 Tuesday after the bell. Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40472824/la-z-boy-incorporated-reports-solid-first-quarter-results-with-sales-up-3-first-quarter-operating-">rundown of the report</a>.
Q1 Earnings:&nbsp;La-Z-Boy reported first-quarter revenue of $496 million, beating the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate</a>&nbsp;of $479.77 million, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported adjusted earnings of 62 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 60 cents per share.
Consolidated delivered sales were up 3% year-over-year. Wholesale segment sales increased 5%, driven by growth to external customers. Written sales for the Retail segment, represented by company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, increased&nbsp;4%. Written same-store sales fell 3% on lower traffic and softer industry-wide demand.
&#8220;While the Retail business currently continues to wrestle with depressed traffic trends experienced across our industry, we again delivered strong execution. Conversion rates and design average ticket sales both improved again year-over-year and our in-store teams remain laser-focused on providing the highest level of customer service and showcasing our industry-leading product assortment,&#8221; said Melinda Whittington, president and CEO of La-Z-Boy.
&#8220;Our high-quality offering of comfortable, custom furniture with quick delivery is resonating in a challenging marketplace. And while we expect industry fundamentals to be volatile for the foreseeable future, we remain confident in our ability to outperform the market and gain share longer term.&#8221;
Outlook: La-Z-Boy expects second-quarter revenue to be in the range of $495 million to $515 million versus estimates of $479.7 million. The company noted it plans to continue to invest in its Century Vision strategy and focus on building the business for the long term.
Management will hold a conference call to discuss the company&#8217;s quarterly results Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m. E.T.
LZB Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/LZB">La-Z-Boy shares</a> were down 3.51% after hours at $40.40 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

La-Z-Boy Q1 Earnings: Revenue, EPS Beat Despite 'Depressed' Traffic Trends Across Industry, Shares Slide

La-Z-Boy shares are trading lower after the company reported Q1 earnings and issued Q2 guidance.

La-Z-Boy Sees Q2 2025 Revenue $495M - $515M Vs $479.7M Est.

La-Z-Boy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LZB#NYSE">LZB</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.62 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.60 by 3.33 percent. The company reported quarterly sales of $496.00 million which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $479.77 million by 3.38 percent. This is a 2.98 percent increase over sales of $481.65 million the same period last year.

La-Z-Boy Q1 2025 Adj EPS $0.62 Beats $0.60 Estimate, Sales $496.00M Beat $479.77M Estimate

La-Z-Boy Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LZB#NYSE">LZB</a>) is expected to release earnings results for its fiscal first quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LZB/earnings">closing bell on Tuesday, Aug. 20.</a>
Analysts expect the Monroe, Michigan-based company to report quarterly earnings at 60 cents per share, down from 62 cents per share in the year-ago period. La-Z-Boy is projected to post revenue of $479.7 million, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
On June 17, La-Z-Boy posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings.
With the recent buzz around La-Z-Boy, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. As of now, La-Z-Boy has a dividend yield of 1.86%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 20 cents a share (80 cents a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from La-Z-Boy, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by La-Z-Boy's $0.80 dividend: $6,000 / $0.80 &nbsp;= 7,500 shares
So, an investor would need to own approximately $321,825 worth of La-Z-Boy, or 7,500 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $0.80 = 1,500 shares, or $64,365 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
LZB Price Action: Shares of La-Z-Boy gained 2.3% to close at $42.91 on Friday.

How To Earn $500 A Month From La-Z-Boy Stock Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

The gravity-defying climb faces risk, as the index futures trade narrowly mixed in early trading on Tuesday. That said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40450395/s-p-500-nasdaq-100-extend-8-session-winning-streak-as-wall-street-jitters-go-poof-mondays-key-st">the recent gains </a>could keep traders wary of a potential pullback. A couple of speeches by Federal Reserve officials are the lone Main Street catalysts for the day even as the market has set its eyes on Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s Jackson Hole Symposium address due Friday. Until such time, the market may remain in a wait-and-watch mode.
Given the bounce in cryptocurrencies, stocks exposed to these digital assets could gain some ground and tech stocks appear on track to preserve their upward momentum.

In premarket trading on Tuesday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) edged up 0.04% to $559.82, and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gained 0.10% to $481.76, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session: 
Stocks climbed solidly on Monday as the multi-session run-up continued, with support coming from weak economic data and a Fed speech that perked up hopes of an incoming Fed rate cut. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, who is considered more of a hawk, said in an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal, &#8220;The balance of risks has shifted, so the debate about potentially cutting rates in September is an appropriate one to have.&#8221;
 The major averages opened higher and moved roughly sideways in early trading before climbing steadily through much of the remainder of the session. The buying interest accelerated in the final few minutes of trading. 
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index and the broader S&amp;P 500 index extended their winning streak to eight, and in the process, these averages settled at their highest closing levels since July 23 and July 16, respectively. The S&amp;P 500 is now just under 60 points away from its all-time highs. 
The 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average is on a five-session winning run, with Monday&#8217;s gains coming on the back of the rally in the shares of McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), Amgen, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>). The blue-chip is now at the highest level since July 17.
The gains were across the board, with all 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes gaining ground. Communication services, IT and consumer discretionary stocks found notable buying interest.

The Nasdaq Composite, which fell into correction territory -defined as a pullback of over 10% from recent highs, on Aug. 5 amid the market collapse set in by yen carry trade unwinding, has quickly sprung back up. The intraday low hit on Aug. 5 (15,708.54) marked a roughly 16% pullback from the July 11 intraday high of 18,671.07. The index exited correction territory in merely 11 sessions, the fastest recovery since Oct. 2011, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-081924">reported</a>.
Insights From Analysts:
The stock market is entering a &#8220;very positive four-week equity trading window,&#8221; Goldman Sachs Trading Desk&#8217;s Managing Director Scott Rubner said in a note to clients on Monday, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-19/goldman-s-rubner-says-the-pain-trade-for-us-stocks-is-higher">reported.</a> The strength could come from the following:
<ul>
<li>inflows from trend-following systemic funds that are re-leveraging after cutting their total long exposure from $450 billion in July to $250 billion currently.</li>
<li>Commodity trading advisers are likely to buy stocks irrespective of the market trend</li>
<li>Buying by volatility-control funds as the CBOE volatility index posted the biggest nine-day drop in history following the Aug. 5 market collapse</li>
<li>traders going against the prevailing trend, aka long gamma positioning, which could serve as a buffer in the eventuality of a sell-off</li>
<li>Corporate demand rising until the corporate blackout window closes for about 50% of the companies on Sept. 13; Goldman estimated that corporate buybacks will likely total $1.15 trillion worth of authorizations and $960 billion worth of executions in 2024.</li>
<li>Money market investment in equities</li>
</ul>
That said, the strategist flagged pain ahead for the market. &#8220;The pain trade for equities is higher and the bar for being bearish at the beach into a Labor Day barbecue party is high,&#8221; he reportedly said. He sees the stock market turning negative after Sept. 16, given the second half of the month has historically been the worst two-week trading period of the year.
Previewing the Jackson Hole Symposium that kickstarts Thursday, WisdomTree Senior Economist and Wharton Professor Emeritus Jeremy Siegel said, Powell&#8217;s speech at 10 a.m. on Friday is the big event. &#8220;I expect him to clear the path for a rate cut in September, but not divulge the size,&#8221; the economist said.
Powell will likely say that the central bank is becoming more confident that inflation is moving towards its target and that it can afford to loosen the degree of monetary restrictiveness, Siegel said, while also cautioning that there is still much data to come, including August inflation and payrolls as well as four more jobless claims.
