<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

A Congress Member Sold Up To $590K In Apple Stock: Here's What You Need To Know

In an era where brick-and-mortar retailers are struggling to maintain their footing amid the rapid rise of e-commerce giants, Best Buy Co., Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) recent downgrade by Piper Sandler highlights the ongoing challenges faced by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retailers">traditional electronics retailers.</a>
The Best Buy Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58b96e17b85e930001592a16/peter-keith">Analyst Peter Keith</a> downgraded the rating from Overweight to Neutral, while reducing the price target from $82 to $75.
The Best Buy Thesis: While there is consumer awareness about the Windows 10 End of Life in October, this may not drive PC demand, Keith said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) provides instructions on how users can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 for free and several PC manufacturers have indicated that upgrades are already taking place, he added.
Best Buy's appliance sales have "significantly underperformed" those of Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) over the past three years, and Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) has become "more aggressive on appliance services," the analyst wrote.
Best Buy's Consumer Electronics category has comped -10% over the past six years, underscoring a lack of innovation—especially in TVs. The analyst notes that Walmart's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) recent acquisition of Vizio could further disrupt the market, as the company leverages high-margin Retail Media revenue from Vizio's growing install base to subsidize TV sales, potentially selling units at a loss or even offering them free to new Walmart+ members.
BBY Price Action: Best Buy Co shares were down 3.08% at $69.58 at the time of publication on Monday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bank of America Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HD/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained a Buy</a> rating on Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) with a price target of $450 on Tuesday.
Ohmes noted that Home Depot announced plans for SRS Distribution to acquire GMS Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMS#NYSE">GMS</a>) for $110 per share or ~$4.3 billion (an implied EV of ~$5.5 billion).
The analyst said GMS is a leading distributor of specialty building products, including drywall, ceilings, and steel framing, in both residential and commercial markets.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/46169401/home-depots-distribution-arm-expands-with-5-5-billion-gms-buyout" rel="noreferrer noopener">Home Depot&#8217;s Distribution Arm Expands With $5.5 billion GMS Deal</a>
GMS reported 2024 sales of $5.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $615 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025. Given the timing and size of the deal (HD&#8217;s acquisition of SRS for $18.25 billion, closed in 82 days), Ohmes noted that the acquisition could close ahead of this timeline.
The analyst stated that the acquisition of GMS adds a new vertical (wallboard, ceilings, and steel framing) adjacent to SRS&#8217; existing business (roofing, landscaping, and pools).
He expects the acquisition to complement SRS, given the overlap in customers and similar capabilities in wholesale distribution.
Notably, post-acquisition, GMS will report to Dan Tinker of SRS, who is very excited about this transaction (combined 1,200 locations and 8,000 trucks capable of tens of thousands of jobsite deliveries daily), Ohmes said.
The analyst expects GMS to grow organically and through targeted acquisitions under Home Depot&#8217;s ownership.
He said Home Depot expects the transaction to be accretive to adjusted EPS (excluding amortization expense) in the first year after close, excluding synergies.
Similar to SRS, Ohmes expects GMS to have an unfavorable mix impact on gross margin.
The analyst noted that Home Depot will finance the acquisition through cash on hand and debt.
Home Depot expects to return to a 2.0x leverage ratio by the end of fiscal 2026, after which Ohmes expects the company to resume share repurchases.
The analyst said Home Depot remains focused on maturing Pro capabilities to serve more complex projects, with SRS now managing the company&#8217;s trade credit program.
While the macro remains choppy, Ohmes expects Home Depot to continue gaining shares as it accelerates growth and capabilities with the complex Pro organically and inorganically.
Price Actions:&nbsp;HD shares are trading higher by 2.69% at $376.54 at last check Tuesday. GMS is up 0.15%.

Home Depot's $5.5 Billion Deal Expands Its Reach To Thousands Of Job Sites

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dow-jones-industrial-average">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a> was up around 4% in the first half of 2025, with 21 of the 30 components positive year-to-date through the first six months.
The index, which contains a diverse basket of stocks across sectors, offers many dividend stocks, with some having high yields for investors.
What Happened: When looking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/dividends">for dividend stocks</a>, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is one place with the index having a basket of what are considered blue-chip American companies.
The 30 index components have strong track records of revenue and earnings growth, and in many cases, a long history of paying dividends and raising the dividend amounts.
While investors can buy an ETF like the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the entire index, another option is to buy the &#8220;Dogs of the Dow.&#8221;
The "Dogs of the Dow" is a popular strategy that often coincides with the beaten-down stocks of the index which also offer high dividend payouts.
Here are the current top-yielding dividend stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the first six months of 2025.
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>): 6.3%</li>

<li>McDonald's Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>): 2.4%</li>
</ol>
In the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 28 of the 30 stocks pay out dividends. The average dividend yield of the 30 companies is 2% with the 10 highest averaging a yield of 3.5%.
Twenty of the 30 stocks in the index pay out at least a 1% dividend yield based on current stock prices.

Why It's Important: Along with stock price gains, dividends can be a nice form of consistent growth for companies and investors.
Investors can choose to collect dividend yield and put the capital to work in other stocks, or use it as income for other investments or spending. Investors can also reinvest the dividends back into the companies from which they got dividends.
Over a long period of time, dividend stocks can offer strong returns for investors with yields sometimes outpacing the returns of the overall stock market or other asset classes such as bonds and treasuries.

Overall the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), which tracks the index, was up around 4% in the first half of 2025. This was a lower gain than the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500, which had a 5.7% gain in the first half.

Why It's Important: Nvidia was one of the new Dow Jones components <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/12/42726598/dow-jones-2024-scoreboard-top-5-winners-losers-and-how-amazon-nvidia-could-reshape-2025">added in 2024</a> and the stock is one of the top performers in the first half of 2025. The stock replaced Intel, which was a top decliner in recent years.
The index also got rid of Walgreens, which was another poor performer in recent years. Its replacement Amazon was flat for the first half of 2025.
The new index makeup is showing strong signs of positive returns.
With 21 of the components positive year-to-date and one flat, this could mark one of the best years by the number of gainers in recent history.
In 2024, 18 of the 30 stocks were up for the full year. In 2023, 19 of the stocks in the index were up.
Perhaps most surprising is that two of the Magnificent Seven stocks rank among the worst performers in the first half of 2025, despite being part of the four Mag 7 members included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Apple was the fourth-worst performer in the index for the first half, falling 18.1%. That marks a sharp reversal from its standout status as the only Dow Jones stock to rank among the top gainers in both 2023 and 2024.
Amazon ranked ninth with a flat return, as only eight of the components were down. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remains one of the most closely watched stock market indexes, serving as a gauge of overall market health. With only 30 stocks and a weighting based on stock price, rather than market capitalization, the index is less frequently used by some analysts and market experts than the broader S&amp;P 500 Index.

Dow Jones 2025 First Half Scoreboard: Top 10 Winners, Losers — Where Do Nvidia, Apple Stock Rank?

President Donald Trump is expected to attend on Tuesday the opening of a temporary migrant detention facility in Florida&#8217;s Everglades, dubbed &#8220;Alligator Alcatraz.&#8221;
What Happened: The visit underscores Trump&#8217;s aggressive immigration enforcement strategy that has triggered market volatility for companies dependent on immigrant labor, Reuters reported, citing sources.
The remote detention center earned its nickname from its location deep in the Everglades, where alligators, crocodiles and pythons provide natural security barriers with minimal staffing requirements, according to Florida officials. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requested Trump&#8217;s attendance at the facility opening.
Federal immigration detention numbers have surged 44% to 56,000 as of June 15, up from 39,000 when Trump took office in January. The administration has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">aggressively seeking additional detention capacity</a> to support what Trump calls &#8220;the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.&#8221;
The White House did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations now arrest 2,000 immigration offenders daily, significantly exceeding the 311 daily average under former President Joe Biden. The intensified enforcement has disrupted business operations at major retailers, including The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">federal raids targeted stores in California</a> without prior company notification.
Technology companies are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44882049/peter-thiels-palantir-bags-30-million-order-from-ice-for-immigrant-tracking-system">capitalizing on enforcement efforts</a>. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) secured a $29.8 million ICE contract for its ImmigrationOS tracking system, designed to monitor visa overstays and self-deportations with &#8220;near real-time visibility.&#8221;
The Trump administration has reactivated the World War II-era Alien Registration Act, requiring all non-citizens to register with the federal government after 75 years of non-enforcement. Officials <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">estimate 3.2 million immigrants</a> remain unregistered under the new regime.
Border apprehensions have plummeted to under 10,000 monthly from over 100,000 a year ago, according to government data. Despite this decline, Trump maintains his deportation agenda, with immigration chief Tom Homan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943800/trump-orders-ice-to-launch-the-single-largest-mass-deportation-program-in-history-targeting-los-angeles-chicago-and-new-york">confirming 200,000 deportations over four months</a>.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) is deepening its investment in serving professional contractors with a major acquisition by its distribution arm, SRS Distribution Inc.
SRS announced Monday that it has signed a <a target="_blank" href="http://benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n46166002/the-home-depot-enters-into-agreement-for-srs-distribution-to-acquire-gms" rel="noreferrer noopener">definitive agreement to acquire</a> GMS Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMS#NYSE">GMS</a>), a top distributor of specialty building products across North America.
The deal values GMS at approximately $4.3 billion in equity and $5.5 billion in enterprise value, with a cash offer of $110 per share. The acquisition will be funded through a mix of available cash and debt.

It is not expected to affect The Home Depot&#8217;s plan to return to a 2.0x leverage ratio by the end of fiscal 2026. The companies expect the transaction to close by the end of fiscal 2025.
The deal is designed to broaden SRS&#8217;s capabilities and service offerings for residential and commercial construction projects by adding GMS&#8217;s portfolio of drywall, ceilings, steel framing, and related products.
The move expands The Home Depot&#8217;s reach in the pro contractor space, building on its earlier acquisition of SRS in 2024 to establish a leadership position in specialty distribution.
The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in the first year following closing, excluding synergies.
The acquisition is a significant step in The Home Depot&#8217;s multi-pronged strategy to dominate distribution in categories that extend beyond retail. GMS&#8217;s presence in core building materials complements SRS&#8217;s existing verticals in roofing, landscaping, and pool supplies.
The companies will operate from more than 1,200 locations and utilize a fleet exceeding 8,000 delivery trucks to service job sites across the U.S. and Canada.
SRS CEO Dan Tinker noted the scale and service capabilities the merger unlocks for both residential and commercial customers. Ted Decker, chair, president, and CEO of The Home Depot, emphasized the proven success of the SRS platform and said this move would create further opportunities to integrate and grow service offerings for pro clients.
John C. Turner, Jr., CEO of GMS, and his senior leadership team will continue to lead the business post-acquisition under the SRS umbrella. Turner said joining SRS and The Home Depot provides an opportunity to accelerate GMS&#8217;s mission while expanding the value delivered to contractors across North America.
As of May 4, Home Depot held <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45518559/home-depot-flags-tariff-and-supply-chain-risks-in-risk-statement-but-does-not-revise-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1.369 billion</a> in cash and equivalents.

Price Action: HD shares are trading lower by 0.19% at $368.05, and GMS is up 11.8% at $108.83 at last check Monday.

GMS To Be Acquired By Home Depot Subsidiary SRS Distribution In $5.5B Deal At $110 Per Share

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday eliminated judicial restrictions on the Trump administration&#8217;s controversial third-country deportation program, allowing the government to resume sending migrants to nations other than their home countries without mandatory due process hearings. 
What Happened: The unsigned 6-3 decision marks a significant legal victory for President Donald Trump&#8216;s mass deportation initiative, which has already strained federal budgets and impacted labor-intensive sectors, Reuters reported.
The court lifted Boston-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy&#8217;s April 18 order that required migrants facing third-country deportation receive a &#8220;meaningful opportunity&#8221; to demonstrate potential torture risks at their destination. 
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by liberal justices, called the majority decision a &#8220;gross abuse&#8221; of judicial power, warning that &#8220;thousands will suffer violence in far-flung locales.&#8221;
The ruling comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces a $1 billion budget shortfall with three months remaining in the fiscal year, according to recent reports.
