9 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

After a move higher of almost 30%, shares of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) are trading a little lower on Thursday. This is mostly because of two dynamics. One is profit-taking. The second is remorseful buyers taking advantage of the move to exit their losing positions at breakeven.
This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
The shares gapped higher after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42100904/target-plunges-21-while-williams-sonoma-soars-27-on-same-day">posted strong earnings</a>. A &#8220;gap&#8221; occurs when a stock closes at one price and opens the next day at a price that is much higher. As you can see, that was the case with Williams-Sonoma yesterday.
The closing price on Tuesday was $137.24. The opening price on Wednesday was $172.02. Because there were no trades in between these two levels, there is a blank space or &#8220;gap&#8221; on the chart.
Investors bought aggressively because not only did the company report earnings that were better than estimates, it also raised its operating margin guidance. This was probably more important than the earnings beat.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="532" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-1024x532.png" alt="" class="wp-image-659634" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-1024x532.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-300x156.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-768x399.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma-1536x798.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21140935/WilliamsSonoma.png 1582w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

Operating margin is the percentage of profit a company makes after all its costs and expenses. In the quarter, the operating margin was 17.8%. This means that for every dollar of sales, the company earned 17.8 cents.
Going forward, Williams raised its operating margin guidance to a range of 17.8% to 18.2%. If operating margins are increasing, it means the company is becoming more efficient.
But the move higher has stalled out. There are two reasons for this.
The first is profit-taking. Whenever a stock makes a large move higher, there are traders and investors who will take advantage of the move to lock in profits.
The second reason is &#8220;buyer's remorse.&#8221;
As you can see on the chart, the stock made a large move higher in May and formed a peak around the $172.50 level. Some of the investors and traders who bought at the peak came to regret their decision to do so after the price plummeted. They have held onto a losing position ever since.
Now that they have a chance to exit their positions at breakeven, they are placing sell orders. These orders and the orders from the profit takers have, at least for now, made the rally stall out or maybe even end. There is a chance the stock will head lower.

Investors were treated to quite the pair trade on Wednesday when shares of big box retailer Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) sunk while shares of home furnishing retailer Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) rocketed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/24/11/42091624/williams-sonoma-shares-spike-on-heels-of-earnings-report-1-billion-buyback-plan">off earnings</a>. The two stocks were the biggest movers of the day, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: Target&#8217;s stock closed the day at $121.72, down 21.41%. According to market strategist Ryan Detrick, Wednesday was the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company&#8217;s third-worst day in history in the market.
Meanwhile, Williams-Sonoma&#8217;s price action was certainly something to write home about. The San Fransisco, California-based company&#8217;s shares closed the Wednesday trading session at $175.04, up 27.54%. This was the company&#8217;s second-best day ever in the market.
Target Earnings: Target reported earnings-per-share of $1.85 in 2024&#8217;s third quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42085436/target-q3-earnings-supply-chain-chaos-hits-bottomline-slashes-annual-profit-outlook-stock-tanks">under Wall Street&#8217;s projection</a> of $2.30. Revenue numbers also fell under expectations. Net income fell 12.1% year-over-year while cost of sales and administrative expenses increases outpaced revenue growth.
Management cited cost pressures and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42096714/target-margins-and-inventory-issues-raise-analyst-caution-after-weak-q3-performance"> continued supply chain disruption</a>s for its weak quarterly performance. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39544821/target-tightens-shoplifting-rules-reduces-threshold-to-50-report">has previously blamed</a> store theft as a driver of financial underperformance.
Wells Fargo and Citigroup issued a downgrade for Target stock on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TGT/analyst-ratings">according</a> to Benzinga analyst ratings.
Williams-Sonoma Earnings: Williams-Sonoma&#8217;s report painted a rosier picture.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/24/11/42091624/williams-sonoma-shares-spike-on-heels-of-earnings-report-1-billion-buyback-plan">reported earnings-per-share</a> of $1.96, beating estimates of $1.78. The home furnishing and cooking retailer also gained market share and raised guidance.
Laura Alber, president and CEO, highlighted the company&#8217;s margins as a catalyst for its earnings beat.
&#8220;Our operating results reflect the operational improvements that we have been focused on all year, and demonstrate the strength of our margin profile in a difficult environment," Alber said in a press release.
The Retail Industry: Target <a href="https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=williams-sonoma&amp;tref=typeahead%7Cterm%7Cwilliams-sonoma%7C%7C%7Chistory">sells</a> Williams-Sonoma cookbooks on its online e-commerce platform.
The two earnings reports paint mixed signals for a retail industry at a crossroads. While some retailers have continued to struggle amid tough macroeconomic conditions and rapid change in the industry at large, others have flourished.

Crude Oil Moves Lower; Williams-Sonoma Shares Gain After Q3 Results

Investor sentiment remained subdued on Wednesday as escalating geopolitical tensions weighed on risk assets ahead of the week&#8217;s most anticipated event: Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) third-quarter earnings report, set to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42093025/will-nvidia-deliver-a-blowout-beat-in-q3-poll-says-maybe-not-but-over-half-see-stock-clearing-150">released after market close.</a>
The market mood deteriorated further after multiple outlets confirmed Ukraine&#8217;s deployment of U.K.-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory, a day after launching U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely regarded as a barometer of market anxiety, spiked over 9%, underscoring rising apprehension among investors. 
Major U.S. indices were in the red, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 leading losses as technology stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off.
The U.S. dollar resumed its upward trajectory, with the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), a proxy for the greenback&#8217;s strength, climbing 0.7%. Safe-haven demand also bolstered gold, which advanced 0.7%, reflecting investors&#8217; flight to safety.
Meanwhile, natural gas emerged as the standout performer among commodities, surging over 6% on the day.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied the risk-off sentiment, climbing over 2% to hit a fresh intraday all-time high of $94,989. This propelled its year-to-date gains to an astonishing 123%.
