Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Consumer Stocks With Over 5% Dividend Yield

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), a cornerstone of the American aviation industry and the oldest operating airline in the U.S., is heading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/death-cross">into turbulent skies</a>.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent082624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="457" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26145533/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.12.00-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-514387" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26145533/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.12.00-AM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26145533/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.12.00-AM-300x217.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>

As the stock flirts with a Death Cross — a technical pattern where a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average — investors are left wondering if it&#8217;s time to buckle up for a bumpy ride.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Rough Patch For Delta</h1>
Recent events haven't been kind to Delta. The stock is up 1.29% year-to-date but has slid 3.40% over the past year, with a notable 7.16% drop in the last month. 
Adding to the turbulence, Delta's COO, Michael Spanos is departing after just a year with the airline. His exit follows a major IT outage that grounded thousands of flights and cost the company a hefty $500 million — a loss that still lingers in the minds of investors.

The timing of Spanos's departure, coinciding with his appointment as CEO of Bloomin' Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>), has raised eyebrows and added uncertainty to Delta's management landscape.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Delta Stock Chart Shows Technical Turbulence &#8211; Death Cross Looming</h1>
As Delta grapples with operational challenges, its stock&#8217;s technical indicators suggest more turbulence ahead. The approaching Death Cross typically signals bearish momentum, warning investors of potential downside. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent082624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="457" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26144941/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.12.16-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-514379" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26144941/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.12.16-AM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26144941/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.12.16-AM-300x217.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent082624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Delta's current share price sits at $40.97, just above the eight-day and 20-day simple moving averages (SMAs) of $40.45 and $40.04, respectively. These levels point to a bullish sentiment in the very short term.
However, the medium to long-term signals paint a different picture.
Delta's 50-day SMA stands at $43.84, well above the current share price, flashing a bearish signal. Similarly, the 200-day SMA at $43.68 reinforces the bearish outlook. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent082624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="457" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26145101/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.11.39-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-514380" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26145101/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.11.39-AM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/26145101/Screenshot-2024-08-27-at-12.11.39-AM-300x217.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>

With the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at a negative 0.88 and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at a neutral 47.76, the technicals suggest Delta is facing downward pressure, though currently it is neither overbought nor oversold. 
Additionally, the Bollinger Bands (25) range from $36.92 to $44.52, indicating the stock is trading near its lower band — a bearish sign. The stock appears to be on the verge of entering the upper bullish band, but if other momentum and oscillator indicators do not support — it may be a tough hill to climb.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Delta Stock: Ready For A Takeoff — Or A Crash Landing?</h2>
While Delta's short-term technicals suggest a brief respite, the broader indicators are less encouraging. 
Investors should keep a close eye on the impending Death Cross and be prepared for further volatility. For those with a stomach for turbulence, there may still be opportunities, but it could be a rough ride ahead.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

Insiders Buying Lyft And 2 Other Stocks

Bloomin&#39; Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/blmn#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) is the parent company of a diverse group of restaurants, including Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba&#39;s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming&#39;s Prime Steakhouse &amp; Wine Bar. I&#39;ll comment on the relevance of that later, but right now, growth is slowing to a crawl, and inflation is taking a bite out of the company&#39;s earnings. &nbsp;
That&#39;s the takeaway from the company&#39;s second-quarter earnings report released on August 6, 2024. The company delivered revenue of $1.12 billion, which was only a slight miss from the $1.13 billion that analysts expected and down a bit more from the $1.15 billion reported in the same quarter in 2023.&nbsp;
The drop in earnings was more pronounced. The 51 cents earnings per share (EPS) missed analysts&#39; expectations by 12%, and the loss was an even more significant 31% drop year-over-year. Additionally, the company&#39;s adjusted operating margin of 5.7% was down from the prior quarter&#39;s 7.8%. The same trend was in place with the restaurant-level operating margin, which fell to 14.3% from 16.4%. &nbsp;
The company competes in the consumer discretionary stocks sector with rivals such as Texas Roadhouse Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/txrh#NASDAQ">TXRH</a>) and Darden Restaurants Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dri#NYSE">DRI</a>). Bloomin&#39; Brands was the last to report earnings; its results were the weakest of the three companies. &nbsp;
At a time when investors and traders are particularly sensitive to any bad news, the report was bound to send BLMN stock lower. As of yesterday&#39;s midday trading, it is down 7%.
<h2>BLMN&#39;s Guidance Was Lower As Well&nbsp;</h2>
It&#39;s important not to get carried away by the headline numbers in an earnings report. They are always backward-looking. However, it&#39;s worth noting that the company lowered both its revenue and earnings outlooks significantly from the prior report. &nbsp;
It&#39;s not surprising to hear that Bloomin&#39; Brands is under pressure. Anecdotal evidence in some markets aside, consumers are pulling back. And that is coming at a time when restaurants continue to deal with wage pressures and other higher input costs.&nbsp;
However, Bloomin&#39; Brands is now projecting comparable restaurant sales to be down 2% to flat. Its full-year EPS outlook is between $2.10 and $2.30, down from $2.51 to $2.66. That range suggests that more than 50% of the company&#39;s earnings are already in for the year. &nbsp;
<h2>Could a Rate Cut Make a Difference for Bloomin&#39; Brands?</h2>
What may be keeping analysts interested in BLMN stock is the Federal Reserve&#39;s near guarantee of a rate cut in September. The company operates a diverse model that appeals to consumers of all income levels, giving each chain a different value proposition. It doesn&#39;t need all consumers to return, just some, particularly in its higher-end markets. &nbsp;
However, economists are warning that even an aggressive Federal Reserve rate-cut campaign is likely not to make a short-term difference, as rate cuts, like rate hikes, take time to work their way through the economy. &nbsp;
That makes it difficult to see a rate cut as a reason to buy BLMN stock, which is trading near its 52-week low. However, heading into the report, analysts had still been bullish on the company. The Bloomin&#39; Brands analysts&#39; forecasts on MarketBeat gave the stock a consensus price target of $26.56, which would be a 56% gain. &nbsp;
Investors should note that it took BLMN stock nearly two years to gain that much from its 2022 low. But if you believe an uptrend is ready to happen, then buying a stock with a 5.64% dividend yield may be a bargain. &nbsp;

<ul>
<li>On June 5, Five Below reported worse-than-expected first-quarter earnings and lowered its guidance. &#8220;While our first quarter sales were disappointing, disciplined cost management enabled us to deliver adjusted EPS within our earnings outlook. Needs-based items such as those in our Candy, Food and Beauty departments outperformed expectations and drove positive sales results. We also saw positive comparable sales from our higher income customers; however, the macro environment disproportionately impacted our core lower income customers, resulting in overall comparable sales declines,&#8221; said Joel Anderson, President and CEO of Five Below.
