AI is helping lift profits at consumer companies on multiple levels. It allows companies to better understand their customers, which can improve target marketing and customization. Companies can hone menus, goods, and services to achieve broader appeal and to reach new audiences. Consumer companies are also harnessing AI technology to help with processes, inventory control, and supply-chain management, and in many other ways. By way of examples, restaurants are using smart robots to take orders, and prep and serve food. They also have front and back offices, and AI is helping make both more efficient and cost effective. As well, consumer companies utilize a lot of data, and AI helps elevate the use of that data. We recently concluded our five-part webinar series on AI, looking at how different industries are using AI. Our final event spotlighted consumer companies. For this week's list, we offer details on the BUY-rated stocks we highlighted during the webinar.

Toll Brothers Inc. is a leading builder of upscale homes, serving step-up, empty-nest, active-adult, and second-home buyers. The company delivered 11,292 homes in FY25. At the end of the fiscal year, the company operated 446 selling communities across 24 states. The company operates its own lumber distribution, component assembly, and manufacturing operations. Toll also has subsidiaries that provide architectural, engineering, mortgage, title land development, and golf course management services. TOL also operates rental apartments. The company, which is based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, had FY25 home sales of $10.8 billion, up from $10.6 billion in FY24 and the prepandemic record of $7.08 billion in FY19.

In May, the S&P 500 rose 5.2%, the Nasdaq ripped higher by 8.4%, and the Nasdaq 100 surged 10.6%. The Technology Sector SPDR (XLK) jumped 20%. More impressively, the two-month gain reached 43.7%. Tulip mania? We are not going to dig deeper on that question, but will say that stocks likely will not move higher forever. And if an investor is starting to feel that some degree of defensiveness is needed, we'll say that corporate insiders apparently are starting to agree. We review many insider-sentiment data points from Vickers Stock Research, but will highlight one indicator we don't often discuss. Vickers tracks the volume of Form 144 filings, through which insiders register their intent to sell restricted shares. Some 3,222 Form 144s were filed in May. The last time we saw that many 144s was in December of 2024, when the DJIA was at 44,910. By April of 2025, the index was 15% lower. One-week insider-sentiment sector data also suddenly suggests caution. Departing from the bullish sentiment seen over the two prior weeks (when eight of the 11 sectors recorded bullish one-week readings), only two sectors (Energy and Financial) now boast bullish one-week sentiment. Meanwhile, six sectors are neutral and three sectors are squarely in bearish territory. The bearish sectors are Communication Services, Materials, and Utility. We will be paying close attention to whether the longer-term (eight-week) readings shift in a negative direction over the next few weeks. This week, analysts at Vickers highlighted insider transactions of interest at Power Integrations Inc. (NGS: POWI) and MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP).
