Rocket Lab (RKLB 2.66%) stock fell 13.7% in February's trading amid valuation pressures impacting the broader market. The S&P 500's level declined 0.9% in the month, and the Nasdaq Composite's level fell by 3.4%. Rocket Lab's valuation got a double-digit haircut last month as investors broadly reduced exposure to growth-dependent tech stocks in response to pricing concerns and reacted to new macroeconomic data and developments. The company's fourth-quarter report at the end of the month also drove a sell-off for the stock. Rocket Lab slipped last month despite a strong Q4 report Rocket Lab published its fourth-quarter results after the market closed on Feb. 26, reporting sales and earnings that beat Wall Street's targets. The business recorded a loss of $0.09 per share on sales of $179.65 million in the quarter, beating the average analyst estimate's target for a per-share loss of $0.10 on sales of $178.18 million. Rocket Lab posted another period of strong growth, with revenue increasing nearly 36% year over year and the company's non-GAAP (adjusted) gross margin improving to 44.3% from 32% in the prior-year period. The business's gross margin for the year came in at 39% for the year -- up from 32% in 2024.

Costco Wholesale ( COST ) topped earnings expectations as the Issaquah, Washington-based company did not have any trouble adding and keeping members. Adjusted comparable-store sales rose 6.7% from a year ago, and the company expects to benefit from tax refunds and potential tariff refunds this year. Bank of America reiterated its Buy rating on Costco ( COST ). Analyst Christopher Nardone said the retailer's philosophy of reinvesting in price enhances the firm's confidence that share gains across categories can continue. The growth in executive membership and the stabilization in renewal rates were called out as positives. Nardone also sees Costco ( COST ) insulated from a jump in gas prices. "While a spike in gas prices could pressure gas profit in the short run, sustained higher gas prices could drive traffic to clubs given COST’s value proposition (notably, half of members cross-shop gas stations and clubs)," he noted. Jefferies kept its Buy rating on Costco ( COST ) as well. "Core-on-core margins improved despite mix and SG&A pressure from claims reserves. Looking ahead, unit growth, capex investment, and pricing discipline underpin continued share gains," highlighted analyst Coret Tarlowe. Morgan Stanley backed its Overweight rating on Costco ( COST ) and price target of $1,130. Analyst Simeon Gutman pointed to the company's strong execution across membership, fee income, and core profitability, with comparable sales re-accelerating into the spring. "These results underscore the company’s structural strengths in supply chain efficiency, value pricing, and scale, which we believe will continue to support market share expansion and long-term earnings growth," wrote Gutman. On Seeking Alpha, Dividend Collection Agency, contributing analyst to the iREIT+Hoya Capital investment group, also weighed in. "Costco reported another strong report, showing solid top- and bottom-line growth, driven by a strong performance in Canada & international markets... Going forward, I ...

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images Being able to generate significant passive income every month makes retirement so much easier because it means you can largely ignore market volatility and instead sit back, relax, and let the dividends flow. Additionally, if you're able to generate that yield from a dependable source that comes at a 10% rate or greater, you can rapidly accelerate your path to retiring on dividends. Of course, I do not personally suggest building your entire portfolio of 10% yielding securities, but putting some of them in a well-diversified portfolio that also includes some perhaps lower-yielding but fast-growing dividends can create a well-diversified portfolio that balances current yield with dividend growth over time in dividend stocks ( VIG ). Certainly, the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF ( SCHD ) can provide a strong foundation for a dividend portfolio, with a 3.5% dividend yield, double-digit annualized dividend growth over the past decade, and broad diversification across over 100 blue-chip dividend growth stocks spread across numerous sectors. In this article, however, I'm going to share how to augment SCHD with two monthly dividend machines that yield 10% or more. A 10%+ Monthly Dividend Machine With Mega-Cap Tech Exposure The first opportunity I'm going to discuss is the Goldman Sachs NASDAQ 100 Premium Income ETF ( GPIQ ). GPIQ is a compelling monthly dividend machine because it yields 10.22% on a trailing 12-month basis while also delivering capital appreciation over that period of time. Additionally, it has one of the lowest expense ratios among covered call premium covered call ETFs, with a 0.29% expense ratio as per Seeking Alpha. That said, this includes a waiver that will soon go away, which will bring its expense ratio up to 0.35%. It will still be in line with the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF ( JEPQ ), which it has outperformed over time, and also be significantly lower than peers like the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High In...
