This week, we cover Home Depot, Inc. and Target Corporation. HD saw a 6% drop in share price last Tuesday after the company revised down its year-end outlook amid weak consumer sentiment. TGT also cut its full-year guidance during and has seen share price drop nearly 5% since the quarterly release last week. Both HD and TGT, along with AMZN, have seen boycott campaigns by activists discouraging people to buy from the companies on Black Friday, aimed at retailers that have dropped DEI campaigns in response to pressure from the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankful for These 2025 EVA Performers (report<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis Thanksgiving week we wanted to look at the firms that investors should be thankful for and hopefully cover at least a few names that have been in your portfolio this year. We look at Global Developed Market companies with a Market Cap of over $10bn that were attractive in the EVA framework one year ago and remain rated \u2018Hold\u2019 or better today. We display the top 50 firms with the highest share price return YTD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consumer Discretionary: Being Thankful for the EVA Momentum (report<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nAmidst deteriorating EVA Fundamentals, the Global Consumer Discretionary sector has underperformed the rest of the market through 2025 so far. As of October end, however, EVA Momentum (growth) has shown some signs of bottoming out. In this paper, we run a screen to search for firms in the Developed Markets region that look attractive within the PRVit framework but have seen some underperformance within the past quarter. We focus on top-line growth trends as an indicator of potential outperformance going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Industry Snapshot: Global Commercial Services & Supplies (report<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nProfitability (EVA Margin) for the industry has flattened out over the last year. In Q3 2025, improvements in top-line growth and asset efficiency were mostly offset by lower P&L profitability. EVA Momentum (growth) bottomed out in Q2 and became less negative through October. Expectations (as measured by our Future Growth Reliance, FGR) have moved lower in Q3 but Valuations, especially for the largest names in the industry, remain elevated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better World: Good Value for a Better World, Russell 2000 (report<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe identify attractive names in the Russell 2000 Index with cheap Value scores (V), attractive PRVit, and strong ESG Performance Scores. We include a list of companies that meet the criteria outlined (Valuation \u2264 40 (cheapest 40%); PRVit \u2265 60 (most attractive 40%); ESG Rating Decile = 1 or 2); they offer cheap Valuations and have strong ESG Performance. The list includes companies from the January 2024 list that still meet the criteria as we retire that list in this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better World: Good Value for a Better World, Russell 1000 (report<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe identify attractive names in the Russell 1000 Index with cheap Value scores (V), attractive PRVit, and strong ESG Performance Scores. The PRVit framework compares a firm\u2019s operational Quality to the Value paid in the market: the greater the disconnect between Quality and Value, the more favorable the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
