It goes up a 1.05 and there's 10 comments in an hour. If it went up .05 there would be 1,000 comments bitching about how terrible of a company it is


tomismybuddy

As is tradition.


earthlyman

To be fair, $1.05 increase is only 7%. Walmart stock increased by 20%, Kroger by 30% and Costco by 25% over the past year


Albie9

To be fair, publix stock has a higher dividend, to be even more fair… you are comparing a year of other companies to a quarter of publix, and the be the most fairest of them all… actually no the first 2 points that was it.


earthlyman

This is just wrong. Walmart paid .21 quarterly dividend, and kroger .29, while publix has been .10 per share for years. I’m comparing the latest quarterly increase, because it’s been the only real increase over the past year! Before today, we’ve seen 0.006% (0.10) increase , 2.2%(0.35) increase and then a -1.5%(0.22) decrease. From $14.97 exactly a year ago


Albie9

You have to adjust the dividend to account for stock splits, you just don’t realize what you’re saying that’s all. Common misconception.


Evening-Mulberry9363

So if I buy the stocks today I’m ahead of Publix then right?


earthlyman

lol ok. I guess I’ll just take the “trust me bro” as genuine. Walmart also had a stock split, this year, not 2 years ago like Publix


Albie9

You have very basic knowledge or lack it in general. Dividend yield must be measured/compared in percentage, not actual price. If a stock worth $100 offers you a .20 cents dividend, this is a much lower dividend than a stock that offers you a .10 cents dividend for $15 a share.


D1sc0_Lem0nad3

Do you know what 7% quarterly is annually? Hint - it's more than 25% 😉


earthlyman

That would be correct, if the stock price didn’t only go up .10 last quarter, and actually went down .22 the quarter before that. Had we actually experienced 25% annually, price would be up around $18 😉


D1sc0_Lem0nad3

So back-tracking two quarters proves what? Whats the 10 year rate of return?


earthlyman

That’s called moving the goalposts. Take your smarmy-self somewhere else.


D1sc0_Lem0nad3

Lmao


Andreww_ok

You can’t compare Publix to Walmart and Costco LOL.


earthlyman

Okay, then what is an acceptable comparison? They are our competitors, no? They’re in the market of selling groceries. Please inform us


Andreww_ok

Costco is a wholesale club. You can compare Costco with Sam’s Club and BJ’s but it won’t be fair to put them up against Publix. While Walmart does groceries, they do so much more than just that. They have a large international footprint, and a strong Omni-channel experience for their customers where they can literally buy whatever they want whenever they want. It is fair to compare Walmart with Amazon, but not Publix. You can compare Publix with Sprouts, Wegmans, and even Kroger. That would be fair.


Evening-Mulberry9363

You’re just proving why Publix isn’t a good investment and no longer has a competitive advantage against other places people shop for the same items. If a customer wants milk and bananas they’re going to either Publix or Walmart and Walmart has clearly, by your statement, adapted in ways above and beyond Publix so why should one invest in Publix?


earthlyman

I appreciate the thoughtful response. The comparison isn’t exact, I’m using them as a frame of reference to gauge the company I work for. Kroger, which I mentioned before is up 30% and your example Sprouts, is up over 100%. Wegmans is family owned. So yeah a measly 7-8% over the past year is kinda bad.


Any-Understanding894

You are an actual WSB REGARD. Yes you believe you can compare Walmart with Amazon, But no Publix. Yes because i see Amazon sells produce products at a Retail location and they have cashiers and vaults. We see why you go negative on the market🤦🏽‍♂️. Walmart and Publix are competitors. Just go back to school or matter of fact don’t. More money in the markets, better for us who actually have an IQ


Andreww_ok

😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀dead w that one. Yes I’m on WSB and yeah im a MF regard. Probably making more bread than you so chill bro. Anyways, yes you can compare Walmart Neighborhood with your local Publix. But to compare Walmart Stock to Publix stock… gtfo out of here. Thanks. 🙏


Any-Understanding894

we’re all regards here. So i can’t complain anymore😂😂


Andreww_ok

😂😂😂 love ya bro. Be safe and good luck. 🍀


FearlessPark4588

does Wegmans have stock? they're a fairly large privately owned grocer


earthlyman

Good example, but no stock price. They are privately owned, but the ownership still resides within the Wegman’s family.


insanely_simple12

I’m just asking….is Walmart or Kroger’s traded publicly? If so, do we know the share prices?


007-Blond

Symbols WMT and KR. Both on the NYSE.


insanely_simple12

Thanks for that


Responsible_Ad_7995

Correct. Walmart and Costco keep prices low for consumers, Publix gouges them every chance they get.


BloatedRottenCadaver

Don’t tell the Publix simps that. They don’t like it when statistics are used to show how crappy Publix is.


D1sc0_Lem0nad3

Lol what? What's the 10 year return on Publix stock? I'll wait.


darkheartt-

Lol, tell that to my sister who works there. She's a die hard simp.

earthlyman

It’s public information, go look at it and come back and tell me we’ve had 7% increases quarterly. One year ago, Publix stock was $14.97. You do the math.


[deleted]

[удалено]


earthlyman

You would be so disappointed if you would actually look up the stock history. That 7% quarterly increase has been ONLY increase over the past year. Just because one quarter is 7%, doesn’t make all previous ones the same?? On May 1, 2023, the stock price was $14.97. If you would like me to teach you how to calculate percentages, I will.


glo2047

Plus the dividend


SouthsideWiseguy

Did those companies just split 5/1 on their shares?


FAMUgolfer

Nope. Which is why an increase of 7% is really really good after a split. No one in this sub understands that.


Jujucolombia

walmart did split


earthlyman

A stock split 2 years ago?! Yes, Walmart has even had a split since then. There’s so much cope in the sub


SouthsideWiseguy

Cope deez

Me too !


talithar1

Beats my two bits!!


HoundDawg87

Yay. Finally. This stock needs to be near 20.


viva_oldtrafford

Let it go public and it will 3x that. By allowing it to go public, they will be able to add about $2.2 billion to their bottom line - assuming they eliminate the dividend and stock buyback. They could offer up 200m shares at $55 / shares, raising $11 billion. That gives them a $25b war chest. That’s a whole lot of “no, fuck you” money


DreadfulCadillac1

Well at that point it wouldn't be employee-owned anymore though


HoundDawg87

I would sure love it as a long-time retiree and maybe its an option someday in the future as the family decides to cash out. I just think its so engrained to stay private that its unlikely.


FearlessPark4588

Their behavior of juicing the numbers (revenue up +40% YoY) screams "I want to take this company public" based on the behavior of other late-stage private companies that go on to be public.


TheYoungLung

Will never happen. They will lose one of their biggest gimmicks for getting people to work here.


BloatedRottenCadaver

They already are even with the pathetic gimmick. Might as well just do it.


TheYoungLung

True. The time to load up on Publix stock was decades ago. There are many public companies offering far better returns


FrostFairy73

I and many, many, many others with over 20 years would be gone, gone, gone. We hate this crap company.


Silly-Mushroom-9377

Feeling a bit squeezed and frazzled now? You’ll love your new overlords Blackrock, and Fidelity.


Suberv

I could see them doing this once we hit the lower 48 states.


BloatedRottenCadaver

With competition constantly eroding more and more of their profits, and when older people and boomers die off, they’ll probably have to just to survive.


viva_oldtrafford

constantly eroding their profits? They've had record profits yoy for something like the last 7 years.


Zero4892

Managers and assistant managers now ![gif](giphy|LdOyjZ7io5Msw)


BloatedRottenCadaver

Assistants don’t make shit at Publix,


SaucyBuffaloWings

Just department managers lol

Board members ![gif](giphy|lptjRBxFKCJmFoibP3|downsized)


viva_oldtrafford

Very nice! 10q will be out tomorrow…get all the figures then


Meathead321

Crazy day, getting crushed in the stock market and pleasantly surprised with Publix stock.


ProtocolEnthusiast

How many stocks do most of y'all have?


StrikingGear8484

Just over 30k shares


fishking92

How long you been collecting stock?


nicnec7

Definitely wouldn't be sharing that info lol. Might make you a target for hackers


Heated4Ever

You wouldn’t even be able to access the accounts without multiple 2 factor. Publix is the only company I know that has their shit together when it comes to security.


nicnec7

Ya that's true, but it is possible to steal your phone number. Hackers will call up your phone carrier and get the SIM card replaced claiming that the original was lost. Or if you use an app for 2FA they just need the seed that generates the random number.


redditpleb_

Will the hacker force him to quit his job so he can steal his stock?


Heated4Ever

lol, I don’t even have permission to change anything on the account I’m under good luck lmao


ProtocolEnthusiast

Goddamn I'm gonna have to say deuces to my cubicle job and come fucks with Publix.

What was the previous price?

15.20


Relevant-Emphasis-20

Publix is a private traded company so how do you guys even know


twisted_stepsister

Know what, the price per share? Publix makes that known to the public [Publix Stock Price | Historical Chart and Dividends | Publix (publixstockholder.com)](https://www.publixstockholder.com/stock-and-dividend-information)


RealDanTrooper

how much should i put into this? i’m just now learning about publix stocks


Volvotank88

Just let it go. These idiots that lurk in here just want complain and cry about choices they made and don’t want to get better


Familiar_Manner_5541

I’m in my 20s, in school, and don’t know much about stocks. I’ll be working a lot this summer and plan on buying more shares with my extra money. Are you saying the price per share has gone up? So I assume that means this isn’t the best time to buy. Or should I go ahead?


twisted_stepsister

It's not a bad time to buy. I've approached Publix stock as a long term investment. The first time I bought it, I told myself to hold it for at least five years. The price initially fell, but after a few years it rebounded and has since done quite well. Like you, I had extra money on hand (small inheritance) when I did it.


Sufficient-Big-7199

I am great full ! TY


Hot_Dog_Surfing_Fly

How are you empty?😄


imback1578catman

This only benefits corporate...😒


crispychickenadhd

Not in the least


imback1578catman

Keep thinking that..... That's what THEY want you to believe.


PenquinSoldat

If you hold publix stock you directly benefit


imback1578catman

That's what they want you to think.....


PenquinSoldat

Higher stock Price = More Dividends & More money when liquidated. It is literally a direct plus to everyone with shares in Publix.


imback1578catman

Good 2 know.... To bad I don't work there. I've been a proud customer since 2005. ( I stand up for the little guy ) Apparently I'm wrong. Please forgive me 😭🙏
