Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Key Points
This stock's struggling share price doesn't match its robust operational improvement, creating a buying opportunity.
The business offers many reasons for both my daughter and me to want to buy it.
With its profitability poised to rise -- and shares down 32% from their high -- now is a great time to consider this unstoppable stock.
Ever since I heard The Motley Fool's co-founder, David Gardner, talk about the Garner-Kretzmann Continuum on his Rule Breakers podcast, I've been a follower of the GKC's main principle: own at least one stock for each year of your age. Not only have I done this for myself, but also for my daughter, as I build her a portfolio of businesses she likes. Recently turning 10, it was time to add a new stock to her portfolio.
After we kicked around a few ideas like Nintendo, Mondelez, and even Rocket Lab USA, she decided Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) would be her pick.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks »
Chewy: The leading pet goods e-tailer (and more)
After debuting on the public markets in 2019, leading pet goods e-commerce specialist Chewy rocketed to $100 per share by 2021. In the process, the stock got way too far out over its skis, valuation-wise, and dropped to around $15 over the next few years.
Despite its share price's wild ride, Chewy's actual operations only got stronger. Sales quintupled. The company's gross profit margins soared roughly 10 percentage points. Its net income and free cash flow margins turned positive. Most importantly perhaps, its active customers doubled from 10.6 million in 2019 to 21.2 million today.
Now down 32% from its 52-week high despite delivering perfectly acceptable earnings, it looks like an excellent time for my daughter to buy the stock.
Daughter-level reasoning for buying Chewy
For a girl who loves the dogs in her life and always looks forward to buying them treats and birthday presents, Chewy is a natural fit for her portfolio. While this might sound overly simplistic, that's the idea -- at least as far as opening her eyes to the world of investing. If it doesn't come from a place of fun, it probably won't be worth remembering.
In simplest terms, Chewy is a feel-good stock for her, so in that way, I think it represents her "best vision for the future," as David Garner teaches to optimize for when picking stocks. Furthermore, while a stock like Rocket Lab would be a fun holding for her, its complexity exceeds that of Chewy's, making the pet-goods retailer easier to learn about.
Dad-level reasoning for buying Chewy
My favorite reasons for picking Chewy as a holding with my daughter are that it does the simple things right, such as:
Refunding purchased food from a customer whose pet has passed away, and letting them donate the food
Sending care packages to customers in situations like these
Enabling the scheduling and delivery of bulk food items (and other repeat purchases) for customers via automatic shipping
Creating Chewy+, a rewards program for its most loyal customers
Building a one-stop shop for pet owners, ranging from food and medicine to toys, insurance, and even physical veterinary clinics
While the company's 8% sales growth in its last quarter isn't as electric as its 20% annualized mark in the previous five years, Chewy's profitability could soon boom. As the company leans into higher-margin opportunities like streamlining Autoship, Chewy Vet Care, Get Real (its private-label brand), advertising, and Chewy+, Chewy could quickly grow into its valuation of 26 times forward earnings.
With any luck, Chewy will be an outperformer in my daughter's portfolio when she takes it over.

1 Unstoppable Stock I'm Buying on the Dip for My Daughter's Portfolio in 2026

McCormick (MKC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.86 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.87 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.8 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1.29%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this spices and seasonings company would post earnings of $0.81 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.85, delivering a surprise of +4.94%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
McCormick, which belongs to the Zacks Food - Miscellaneous industry, posted revenues of $1.85 billion for the quarter ended November 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.46%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.8 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
McCormick shares have lost about 2.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 0.4%.
What's Next for McCormick?
While McCormick has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for McCormick was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.65 on $1.78 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.21 on $7.63 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Food - Miscellaneous is currently in the bottom 23% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Mondelez (MDLZ), has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2025. The results are expected to be released on February 3.
This maker of Oreo cookies, Cadbury chocolate and Trident gum is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.70 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +7.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Mondelez's revenues are expected to be $10.33 billion, up 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.

XLP, MDLZ, CL, MNST: ETF Outflow Alert

Investors in Mondelez International Inc (Symbol: MDLZ) saw new options become available today, for the February 27th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the MDLZ options chain for the new February 27th contracts and identified the following put contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $52.00 strike price has a current bid of 5 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $52.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $51.95 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of MDLZ, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $52.55/share today.
Because the $52.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 55%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.10% return on the cash commitment, or 0.70% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Mondelez International Inc, and highlighting in green where the $52.00 strike is located relative to that history:
The implied volatility in the put contract example above is 26%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $52.55) to be 22%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

MDLZ February 27th Options Begin Trading

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Mondelez International Inc (Symbol: MDLZ) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Mondelez International Inc an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Wednesday, shares of MDLZ entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $63.005 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Mondelez International Inc, the RSI reading has hit 29.1 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 52.8. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, MDLZ's recent annualized dividend of 1.88/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 2.90% based upon the recent $64.81 share price.
A bullish investor could look at MDLZ's 29.1 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on MDLZ is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

These Are The Stocks To Buy In 2026 According to Analysts

(RTTNews) - Mondelez Global LLC announced an expansion of its December 24, 2025 voluntary recall in the United States of CHIPS AHOY! Baked Bites Brookie. The expansion includes one additional code date (10MAY2026) and two additional UPCs of product pouches inside the recalled carton units.
The recall is being conducted due to an incorrect mixing process that resulted in the formation of small corn starch clumps in the product. Because of their size and characteristics, these clumps could pose a choking hazard, particularly for young children and the elderly.
This recall is limited exclusively to CHIPS AHOY! Baked Bites Brookie products with the specified Best When Used By dates, available at a limited number of retail stores nationwide. No other CHIPS AHOY! or Mondelez Global LLC products are affected.
To date, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with the product. The recall is being issued out of an abundance of caution, and consumers who have these products are advised not to eat them.

Mondelez Expands Recall Of CHIPS AHOY! Baked Bites Brookie Over Potential Choking Hazard

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 12/31/25, Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp (Symbol: OTF), FirstService Corp (Symbol: FSV), and Mondelez International Inc (Symbol: MDLZ) will all trade ex-dividend for their respective upcoming dividends. Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.35 on 1/15/26, FirstService Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.275 on 1/7/26, and Mondelez International Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.50 on 1/14/26. As a percentage of OTF's recent stock price of $14.13, this dividend works out to approximately 2.48%, so look for shares of Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp to trade 2.48% lower — all else being equal — when OTF shares open for trading on 12/31/25. Similarly, investors should look for FSV to open 0.18% lower in price and for MDLZ to open 0.92% lower, all else being equal.
Below are dividend history charts for OTF, FSV, and MDLZ, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared.
Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp (Symbol: OTF):
FirstService Corp (Symbol: FSV):
Mondelez International Inc (Symbol: MDLZ):
In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time. This can help in judging whether the most recent dividends from these companies are likely to continue. If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 9.91% for Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp, 0.70% for FirstService Corp, and 3.66% for Mondelez International Inc.
In Monday trading, Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp shares are currently up about 0.1%, FirstService Corp shares are up about 0.2%, and Mondelez International Inc shares are trading flat on the day.
