Healthcare is one of the most lucrative industries where investors can find world-class businesses to buy and hold. Industry leaders can be unstoppable long-term wealth creators, though there's no such thing as a perfect stock. Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) and Zoetis (NYSE: ZTS) have taken their share of lumps recently. Still, each company pays its shareholders a growing dividend, and both have very bright futures thanks to advantageous positions in long-term growth trends, like obesity drugs and animal care. Perhaps the best part is that you can own a share of each for under $200, making them suitable for almost any investment budget. Here is why you may want to jump on them now. Continue reading

Sanchez/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images) Armando L. Sanchez | Chicago Tribune | Getty Images The Department of Homeland Security on Sunday suspended the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry security programs that speed through airport security checkpoints, citing a partial government shutdown . The move comes as the U.S. Northeast braces for a massive winter storm that could disrupt airline flights for days. The pause took effect at 6 a.m. ET on Sunday, DHS said. "TSA and CBP are prioritizing the general traveling population at our airports and ports of entry and suspending courtesy and special privilege escorts," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. TSA PreCheck has more than 20 million active members, according to an agency count in 2024. "PreCheck members accounted for 34 percent of passengers screened at airport checkpoints," The New York Times reported in August 2025, citing a TSA spokesman. The program is available at more than 200 U.S. airports, the newspaper noted. The pause in TSA PreCheck and Global Entry security programs is a result of the partial government shutdown that began on Feb. 14, following congressional lawmakers' failure to reach a deal to fund DHS. Airlines have canceled more than 6,000 flights through Monday and waived cancellation and change fees for airports spanning Virginia to Maine ahead of the East Coast blizzard. Travel industry members sharply criticized the move, which comes just months after last year's federal government shutdown affected air travel and dented bookings, according to executives. "A4A is deeply concerned that TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs are being suspended and that the traveling public will be, once again, used as a political football amid another government shutdown," said Airlines for America CEO Chris Sununu. The group represent...

In this article EFX TRU FICO Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Morsa Images | Digitalvision | Getty Images There's a line item in homebuyers' closing costs that's causing a clash in the mortgage industry: the fee for lenders to check borrowers' credit. While the charges — typically in the tens or hundreds of dollars — represent a tiny slice of the amount that buyers pay when a home purchase is finalized, the cost has risen sharply in recent years. Costs in 2026 could rise an average 40% to 50% , according to a Dec. 12 letter from the Mortgage Bankers Association to Federal Housing Finance Authority Director Bill Pulte . The trade association asked the FHFA to give mortgage lenders the option of relying on a single credit report instead of three — known as a "tri-merge" report — for borrowers with a credit score of 700 or higher.

HJBC/iStock Editorial via Getty Images For a long time, I described Nestlé ( NSRGY ) ( NSRGF ) ( NEST:CA ) as a bond proxy , and encouraged investors to refrain from holding shares unless they were looking for a low-risk, very-low-reward holding in their portfolio. Last October, I upgraded the stock to 'Buy,' estimating that new CEO Philipp Navratil is the right man to finally take the bold steps needed to reignite growth and efficiencies across the company. Shares have traded flat since, partially because of a large recall . However, because I see tangible progress and sharp execution from management, including the planned sale of the ice cream division, I remain bullish. I maintain a 'Buy' rating for Nestle with a price target of $120 per NSRGY share in the near term. Nestle Doing The Right Things To Get Out of Staples' 'No Man's Land' Back in September 2024, I said that Nestle is an investment in ' No Man's Land '. The stock was and still is a huge laggard, with the market generating 3x the returns over the past decade. Seeking Alpha While Nestle could have managed and done things better, I argued that it simply hit a natural wall given its huge scale and expansive geographic presence. In other words, Nestle effectively saturated its growth runway, just like many other staple giants, many of which have also been significant laggards. Data by YCharts The thing is, the market woke up to this reality very late. Most of those staple stocks, including Nestle, have consistently traded at above-market valuations, and PE ratios higher than 25x. To me, the math didn't add up, and that's why I was consistently bearish. So, why did I finally switch sides back in October? In short, Nestle is no longer trading at an above-market valuation multiple. In fact, it trades about 20% below the market average. Further, I finally see potential for growth acceleration, led by a new CEO who's determined to pull the company out of 'No Man's Land.' 2025 Was Decent, More To Be Expected Fra...
