Middle East escalation drives oil and armaments, airlines weak + Boeing considers billion-euro capital increase

Oil stocks benefited from the news of a possible conflagration in the oil-rich Middle East, as this is associated with the risk of a shortage of the raw material. Chevron $CVX (+0,94 %) , Exxonmobil $XOM (+0,74 %) and ConocoPhillips $COP (+0,01 %) gained up to 2.4 percent in New York. In Europe Totalenergies $TTE (-2,14 %) and Eni $ENI (-0,72 %) rose by up to 1.4 percent. In times of war, it is also not unusual for arms manufacturers to see share price gains. In the USA, for example Lockheed Martin $LMT (+3,53 %) and RTX $RTX (+3,63 %) recorded gains of around 2.7 percent in some cases, while in Europe Rheinmetall $RHM (+1,63 %) was particularly popular in Europe, with a rise of more than 5 percent. BAE Systems $BA. (+0,48 %) were 3 percent higher.

The situation was different for shares in tourism groups and airlines. For the latter, the risks of higher kerosene prices are increasing. Some travel destinations may also be canceled for the time being and the risk of terrorist attacks is increasing. Investors in Tui $TUI1 (-1,1 %) saw their share price fall by 2.5 percent. For the share price of Lufthansa $LHA (+0,59 %) fell by more than 2 percent. IAG $IAG (+5,46 %) lost 3.9 percent. Shares in US airlines such as American, Delta and United Airlines fell by up to 2.4 percent.

The US aircraft manufacturer Boeing $BA (+1,21 %) is considering a capital increase in the double-digit billion range in its ongoing crisis, according to insiders. The company is considering issuing new shares worth at least 10 billion US dollars (just under 9 billion euros), the Bloomberg news agency reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The fresh money from shareholders is intended to fill the manufacturer's coffers, which are becoming ever emptier as a result of years of ongoing crisis with flight bans and production restrictions as well as the recent strike by tens of thousands of employees. A Boeing spokesperson declined to comment. According to insiders, it is likely to be at least a month before Boeing gets serious about such a capital increase

Topic Sin Stocks - Stocks that are considered a sin

Hello Community,

Today I would like to introduce you to a stock category that should divide opinion. It's about so-called "sin stocks", or in German a bit bumpy "Sünden Aktien".

While many focus on ESG, sustainability and the like, there are also investors who look for the exact opposite. I am one of them.

Some people know sin stocks classically from the areas of alcohol, tobacco and gambling. I would like to make it a little more interesting and expand the sin area.

To do this, I'm using the 7 deadly sins of mankind and would like to present some stocks that (can) go hand in hand with them: Pride, Avarice, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath and Sloth.

First of all, I would like to avoid moral discussions if possible. If you are already catching your breath, please skip this article.

Sin 1: Pride.

He who is to perish first becomes proud, and pride comes before a fall

This includes companies that are active in the luxury segment. For example $RMS (-3,64 %) , $RACE (+1,18 %) or the very popular $MC (-2,6 %). In my view, what makes them interesting is that the more luxurious they are, the less dependent they are on the economy. The super-rich hardly mind if there is an economic crisis. They can also achieve exorbitant margins, as the pricing has to correspond to luxury.

Sin 2: Greed

Because greed is the root of all evil

Greed stocks include the financial sector and its shares. For example $JPM (+0,97 %) or $DBK (-2,66 %) but also commodity companies such as $XOM (+0,74 %)

To be honest, I am less familiar with this sector than with other sectors - the financial industry is generally less interesting due to its lack of transparency.

I find commodity companies more interesting - perhaps even more so "suppliers" such as $NE (-0,76 %) which count as manufacturers of drilling rigs.

Sin 3: Lust

I don't have any shares in this portfolio myself. For a long time I flirted with $RICK (+0,93 %) They are active in the adult entertainment sector and run strip clubs. They also run restaurants ("bombshells") where the waitresses' work clothes are made of very little material. However, these bombshells are not that attractive from my point of view, which is why I didn't get involved.

You can certainly also include apps like $GRND can certainly be included here.

Do you have / do you know of any stocks that you would classify here?

Sin 4: Envy

In this category you can put cosmetics stocks like $OR (-2,66 %) or social media stocks like $META (+0,4 %) can be counted in this category. My portfolio is also underrepresented here.

Sin 5: Gluttony

Binge drinking and gluttony characterize people who are lost

The classic among the sin stocks. These can include alcohol companies such as $DGE (-0,95 %) tobacco companies like $PM (+1,85 %) or fast food companies such as $MCD (+2,19 %)

Even more blatant would be something like $TSN (+2,26 %) as a meat producer.

Since tobacco or alcohol (can) be addictive, there is a strong lock-in effect. This is probably why many investors steer clear of such shares.

I see $MNST (+1,28 %) as one of the most exciting gluttony stocks. As manufacturers of energy drinks, they remind me a little of tobacco companies, but they are hardly regulated and can advertise freely. Strong growth of the market - and the share.

Sin 6: Anger

The second classic. All stocks in the defense industry can be counted under wrath. A few years ago, they were frowned upon from an ESG perspective, but they are now almost back in vogue. $LMT (+3,53 %) , $RTX (+3,63 %) or $RHM (+1,63 %) should be familiar to most people. They are heavily dependent on government orders and therefore political decisions. However, the trend over the next few years should be upwards.

In my view, an exciting "Zorn" share is $AXON (+18,62 %) . This is a supplier to the police, primarily in the USA. For example with bodycams or tasers. I was on the verge of getting in at 90$ - and unfortunately missed it.

Sin 7: Sloth

Don't be lazy when it comes to being diligent

Companies that contribute to inactivity or passivity could be categorized here. First and foremost the gambling industry. I see the most exciting value here in $EVO (-2,38 %). One of the stocks with the highest weighting in my portfolio. It is a "supplier" for online casinos. The growth is enormous - the gaming industry is still very much analog. However, the online segment is growing at double-digit rates per year - as is Evolution Gaming. Plus a nice dividend.

Otherwise, you can also make use of various stationary casino operators.

That was my ride through the Sin Stocks.

I would now like to know what exciting sin stocks you have.

And also whether you see any other sin stocks.

By the way, I had the prison operator in my head the whole time $GEO (+4,09 %) in my head the whole time - it seems to me to be the final stop for many sins.

The dividend receipt continues. 🚀🧨

Position also runs in the savings plan. 💰💸

$RTX (+3,63 %)

Shares of RTX Corp (RTX) rose 4% before the market open on Tuesday after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings per share (EPS) and strong 2024 guidance.

The aerospace and defense giant posted fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.29, beating consensus estimates of $1.25.

The company generated revenue of $19.9 billion in the period, also above the estimate of $19.72 billion.

RTX's Collins Aerospace Systems unit reported sales of USD 7.12 billion, while analysts were expecting USD 6.94 billion. Free cash flow amounted to USD 3.91 billion, exceeding the forecast of USD 3.23 billion.

For the full fiscal year 2024, RTX expects earnings per share between USD 5.25 and USD 5.40, compared to Wall Street expectations of USD 5.28. The company anticipates revenue of between USD 78 billion and USD 79 billion, while analysts had expected USD 74 billion.

"RTX enters 2024 with strong momentum and we forecast another year of strong revenue growth and continued segment margin expansion," said RTX President and COO Chris Calio.

"The financial and operational outlook for our GTF fleet management plans remain consistent since October and continue to be a top priority as we focus on driving performance across all three business segments to support our customers and create value for shareholders."

Wild week, here we go again. 🚀💸

What are your favorites in the Defence sector?

$RHM (+1,63 %) is at the top of my list for a first purchase.
