Wall Street kicked off the new week with a slight dip, failing to stage a recovery following Friday&#8217;s closing losses, as investors exercised caution ahead of February&#8217;s impending inflation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/piero-cingari">report due on Tuesday.</a>
Around noon trading in New York, all major U.S. stock indices showed declines, with small caps lagging behind their larger counterparts.
In the short end of the Treasury yield curve, yields edged higher, with the 2-year yields — the sensitive barometer to policy changes — rising by 5 basis points to 5.53%. Traders are positioning themselves for a lesser dovish stance from the Fed, given the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and next week&#8217;s FOMC meeting.
Economists are forecasting stable annual inflation at 3.1% for February, while core inflation is expected to drop to 3.7%.
On the data front, the New York Fed reported unchanged median inflation expectations at 3.0 percent for the one-year horizon. However, expectations rose to 2.7 percent from 2.4 percent for the three-year horizon and to 2.9 percent from 2.5 percent for the five-year horizon.
Meanwhile, market sentiment has slightly dampened expectations of a rate cut by June, now pegging the likelihood at 72%, down from 80% last week.
Gold takes a momentary pause, while Bitcoin continues its meteoric rise, surpassing the $72,000 milestone as U.K. regulators loosen restrictions for exchange-traded products (ETPs).

Stocks Inch Lower Ahead Of Inflation Data, Gold Takes Breather, Bitcoin's Bull Run Persists: What's Driving Markets Monday?

U.S. stocks appear headed for a modestly lower open at the start of the week, with index futures pointing downward. Investors are likely focusing on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/economic" rel="noreferrer noopener">key economic data</a>&nbsp;releases, particularly the February Consumer Price Index (CPI) report due Tuesday. This data is seen as crucial for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming interest rate decision on March 19-20.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting next week is in the spotlight. Market participants are watching for any signs of a potential rate cut, following recent dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and President Joe Biden&#8216;s suggestion of lower rates at a campaign rally.
Cues From Last Week
Major stock indices closed lower for the week ending March 8. The strong February non-farm payrolls report triggered profit-taking in overvalued tech stocks, despite the S&amp;P 500 reaching a record high on Thursday and the broader market experiencing intraday highs on Friday. This early euphoria faded, leading to a pullback and negative close on Friday.

Despite recent volatility in Magnificent Seven stocks, some analysts remain optimistic. &#8220;I think their pullback is justified. I think it is more than required because of the gains that they have had,&#8221; said Ralph Acampora, director of technical studies at the New York Institute of Finance. &#8220;Going forward, they will participate but may not be the leaders they were,&#8221; he said.
Acampora also noted a historical pattern of market pullbacks during election years, followed by a rebound later in the year.

Evercore ISI Group Initiates Coverage On Casey's General Stores with Outperform Rating, Announces Price Target of $345

With robust consumer spending, increasing technology integration, and rapid e-commerce expansion, the retail industry is picking pace. Amid this, let's analyze why Walmart (WMT) and Casey's General Stores (CASY) are must-buy retail stocks this month. Read on… The retail industry is undergoing a transformational phase as technological advances like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) are creating growth opportunities for retailers. Also, with easing inflation and the job market's resilience, consumers are slowly regaining their confidence.
Given the industry's bright prospects, fundamentally sound retail stocks Walmart Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMT/">WMT</a>) and Casey's General Stores, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CASY/">CASY</a>) could be solid additions to your portfolio for substantial gains.
According to Fitch Ratings, <a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/us-consumer-spending-likely-moderates-in-2024-labor-market-underpins-resilience-05-02-2024">U.S. consumer spending</a> remained notably resilient in 2023, backed by solid job and income gains, strong household finances, easing inflation, and improving consumer sentiment. Last year, household nominal disposable income rose at 6.9% year-over-year, while real household disposable income was at a robust 4.2%.
Fitch further revised its annual real consumer spending forecast for 2024 to 1.3% from 0.6%, underscoring the ongoing willingness and ability of consumers to spend more, which is likely to support the retail industry.
This year, significant shifts are expected in the retail landscape, particularly in the realms of retail media evolution, ongoing consumer price sensitivity, and the <a href="https://www.grocerydive.com/news/grocery-trends-outlook-2024/706233/">influence of grocers' food service offerings</a> on meal expenditures. Retailers are increasingly leveraging technology to streamline operations and enhance customer experience.
For instance, retailers use data analytics for personalized marketing and inventory management and adopt technologies like RFID and IoT to improve supply chain efficiency. The <a href="https://www.skyquestt.com/report/smart-retail-market">global smart retail market</a> is poised to grow to $299.76 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 29% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
The retail market is expected to grow from $28.85 trillion in 2023 to $313.10 trillion in 2024 at a CAGR of 8.5%. The market size is further expected to total $427.59 trillion by 2028, growing at a <a href="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/retail#:~:text=The%20retail%20market%20size%20has,(CAGR)%20of%208.5%25.">CAGR of 8.1%</a> during the forecast period (2024-2028).
The growing shift toward online shopping continues to impact the retail industry significantly. According to recent industry calculations, the <a href="https://www.statista.com/forecasts/220177/b2c-e-commerce-sales-cagr-forecast-for-selected-countries">U.S. will rank first among 20 countries worldwide</a> in retail e-commerce development from 2024 to 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.8%. By 2026, the American online retail market value is expected to surpass the trillion-dollar mark.
Given the industry tailwinds, let's delve into the fundamentals of the two best <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/grocery-big-box-retailers/">Grocery/Big Box Retailers</a> stocks, beginning with the second choice.
Stock #2: Casey's General Stores, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CASY/">CASY</a>)

They also provide soft drinks, sports drinks, juices, coffee, tea, and dairy products; beer, wine, and spirits; snacks, candy, packaged bakery, and other food items.
On March 4, 2024, CASY launched all-new, delicious sandwiches prepared fresh in its stores every day for customers on the go. This includes three sandwiches – Crispy Chicken, Spicy Crispy Chicken, and Quarter Pound Angus Beef Burger, alongside an upgrade, the Breaded Pork Sandwich. The addition of a new sandwich menu will boost CASY's revenue streams and growth.

Stock #1: Walmart Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMT/">WMT</a>)
WMT operates retail, wholesale, and other units globally. Its segments include Walmart U.S.; Walmart International; and Sam's Club. The company runs supercenters, supermarkets, hypermarkets, warehouse clubs, cash and carry stores, and discount stores under the Walmart and Walmart Neighborhood Market brands.
On February 20, 2024, WMT's board of directors approved an annual cash dividend for the fiscal year 2025 of $0.83 per share on a post-stock split basis or $2.49 per share on a pre-split basis. This represents a 9% increase from the $2.28 per share paid for the last fiscal year.

WMT's annual dividend translates to a yield of 1.35% at the current share price. Its four-year average dividend yield is 1.56%. Moreover, Walmart has raised its dividends for 50 consecutive years.
On the same day, WMT and VIZIO Holding Corp. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/VZIO/">VZIO</a>) entered into an agreement under which WMT would acquire VIZIO for $11.50 per share in cash, equating to a fully diluted equity value of approximately $2.30 billion.
The acquisition of VIZIO and its SmartCast Operating System (OS) will allow WMT to connect with and serve its customers in new ways, such as through innovative television and in-home entertainment and media experiences. This will create new opportunities to help advertisers connect with customers and will further accelerate WMT's media business in the U.S.
On November 21, 2023, WMT and Bamboo Rose, a next-gen tech innovator, announced a joint project to develop and implement a state-of-the-art enterprise sourcing platform (ESP), revolutionizing the way WMT does business with its suppliers around the world.
In terms of forward EV/Sales, WMT is trading at 0.82x, 51.5% lower than the industry average of 1.70x. Similarly, the stock's forward Price/Sales multiple of 0.74 is 40.1% lower than the industry average of 1.23.

Its adjusted operating income grew 13.2% from the year-ago value to $7.25 billion. Its consolidated net income attributable to WMT came in at $5.49 billion for the fourth quarter.

For the fiscal year 2025, the company's consolidated net sales (cc) are expected to increase 3%-4%, and consolidated operating income (cc) is anticipated to grow between 4% and 6%.

ClearBridge Small Cap Growth Strategy Q2 2024 Portfolio Manager Commentary

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The most obvious Caitlin Clark stocks are Nike (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nke-stock-quote/">NKE</a>) and PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pep-stock-quote/">PEP</a>). The NCAA basketball phenom <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/caitlin-clark-valuable-womens-college-basketball-player-2024-3#gatorade-is-another-of-clarks-high-profile-sponsorships-6">already has deals</a> with the two public companies.&nbsp;



Although the soon-to-be WNBA star failed to win the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row, she&rsquo;s a marketer&rsquo;s dream, so there will be no shortage of powerful companies looking to sign her to long-term sponsorships. She&rsquo;ll undoubtedly make millions in the next few years.&nbsp;



However, as she said at the Iowa Hawkeye&rsquo;s celebration at their home arena in Iowa City, Iowa is her home.&nbsp;




&ldquo;I would say you&rsquo;ve all inspired me as much as I inspired you,&rdquo; Clark said to the approximately 8,000 fans at Iowa&rsquo;s Carver-Hawkeye Arena. &ldquo;And you allowed me to live out my dream every single day, and for that, I&rsquo;m very thankful. It&rsquo;s been very special, and this place will always be home to me,&rdquo; The Associated Press <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/caitlin-clark-tells-fans-this-place-will-always-be-home-to-me-as-she-bids-farewell-to-iowa/ar-BB1lqcPs">reported</a>.&nbsp;




Given her affinity for Iowa, I think it&rsquo;s only fitting that these three Iowa-based companies sign her up.&nbsp;



<h2>Principal Financial Group (PFG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/pfg1600-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration Principal Financial Group (PFG) logo is seen on a mobile phone and a computer screen."><div>Source: viewimage / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Principal Financial Group (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pfg-stock-quote/">PFG</a>) is based in Des Moines, Iowa, the hometown of Caitlin Clark.&nbsp;



The company provides retirement, asset management, and insurance products and services worldwide to businesses, individuals, and institutional clients. As of Dec. 31, 2023, it had <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1126328/000110465924025516/pfg-20231231x10k.htm">$1.58 billion</a> in assets under administration and $694.5 billion under management.&nbsp;



Principal has three reportable segments: Retirement and Income Solutions (50% of revenue), Principal Asset Management (19%), and Benefits and Protection (31%).



The company expects to grow its earnings per share by <a href="https://s21.q4cdn.com/251671177/files/doc_financials/2023/Q4/4Q23-Earnings-and-2024-Outlook-Call-Slides-Final.pdf">9-12%</a> in 2024 to $7.65, with 75-85% of net earnings converted to free cash flow. In 2023, it used free cash flow to return <a href="https://investors.principal.com/investor-relations/news-and-events/financial-press-releases/press-release-details/2024/Principal-Financial-Group-Announces-Full-Year-and-Fourth-Quarter-2023-Results-as-well-as-2024-Outlook/default.aspx">$1.3 billion</a> to shareholders, including repurchasing 9.1 million shares at an average price of $76.92 and $60o million in dividends from an annual payout of $2.60.&nbsp;



While it could have done a better job buying back its shares, investors can be sure it&rsquo;s shareholder-friendly.



One of the more interesting developments in 2024 is the announcement that its Principal Alternative Credit business, which lends between $25 million and $200 million per transaction to middle market companies earning at least $5 million EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), reached <a href="https://www.principal.com/about-us/news-room/news-releases/principal-direct-lending-business-reaches-2-billion-borrower">$2 billion</a> in borrower commitment.



With Clark set to earn significant amounts from her WNBA contract and non-playing endorsements, she&rsquo;d be the perfect Iowan to represent the company nationwide.&nbsp;



<h2>Casey&rsquo;s General Stores (CASY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/casy-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of Casey's General Store logo on side of a store"><div>Source: Ken Wolter / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Casey&rsquo;s General Stores (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/casy-stock-quote/">CASY</a>) is based in Ankeny, Iowa, a suburb north of Des Moines.&nbsp;



Casey&rsquo;s operates over <a href="https://investor.caseys.com/home/default.aspx">2,600 convenience stores</a> and gas stations in 17 Midwestern states. Known for opening locations in smaller towns, 50% of its stores are in towns of 5,000 or less. Yet, it generated $3.33 billion in revenue in <a href="https://investor.caseys.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2024/Caseys-Announces-Third-Quarter-Results/default.aspx">Q3 2024</a> with $114.5 million in pre-tax income. In the nine months ended Jan. 31, the company opened 118 net new stores, bringing its total to 2,639.&nbsp;



As the company points out in its Q3 2024 presentation, the convenience store industry remains fragmented, providing ongoing roll-up opportunities. In the past three years, Casey&rsquo;s has acquired 259 stores. With approximately <a href="https://s2.q4cdn.com/194594550/files/doc_financials/2024/q3/2024-03-11_FINAL_FY24Q3_Investor-Deck.pdf">63%</a> of the convenience stores in the U.S. owned by operators with between one and 10 locations, there&rsquo;s plenty of work left for it to do when it comes to consolidation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



Casey&rsquo;s continues to grow its food business. In <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000726958/000072695824000010/casy-20240131.htm">Q4 2024</a>, its Prepared Food &amp; Dispensed Beverage business increased by 11.4% to $349.1 million due to a 7.5% increase in same-store sales and a 3.9% increase related to store growth.&nbsp;



I could see the company leveraging its excellent private label business to launch CC&rsquo;s, Caitlin Clark&rsquo;s favorite products she takes with her on the road to WNBA games.&nbsp;



It&rsquo;s a no-brainer.&nbsp;



<h2>Workiva (WK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/software1600e-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of a laptop, tablet, and phone with various software and tech imagery on their screens"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Workiva (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wk-stock-quote/">WK</a>) is based in Ames, Iowa, the home of Clark&rsquo;s biggest rival, the Iowa State Cyclones.




&ldquo;Workiva offers the only unified SaaS platform that brings customers&rsquo; financial reporting, Environmental, Social, and Governance, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance together in a controlled, secure, audit-ready platform,&rdquo; <a href="https://investor.workiva.com/overview/default.aspx">states</a> its investor relations website.&nbsp;




Although the B2B business might be less exciting than Nike&rsquo;s, its platform is something most businesses could use.



Interestingly, all three companies I&rsquo;ve mentioned have good businesses, but their stocks have underperformed over the past five years. Workiva&rsquo;s stock is up 50.0%, about 24 percentage points less than the S&amp;P 500. All three of them could use a little boost from Caitlin Clark&rsquo;s well-earned reputation as a leader.



Workiva&rsquo;s Q4 2023 presentation says its total addressable market is <a href="https://s202.q4cdn.com/465187856/files/doc_financials/2023/q4/Q4-2023-Investor-Presentation.pdf">$12 billion</a> in North America and $25 billion worldwide. Its revenue in 2023 was <a href="https://investor.workiva.com/news/news-details/2024/Workiva-Inc.-Announces-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2023-Financial-Results/default.aspx">$630 million</a>, or about 2.5% of its TAM, so it has plenty of room to grow.&nbsp;



In 2024, it expects to grow revenue to $720 million (14%) at the midpoint of its guidance. It won&rsquo;t make money on a GAAP basis this year&mdash;it will lose $1.25 a share with a non-GAAP profit of $0.60&mdash;but if it keeps adding customers as it did in 2023 (it had 311 customers who spent more than $300,000, 32% higher over 2022), it will get to GAAP profitability soon enough.&nbsp;
