China's Industrial Output Seen Slowing on Rain, Capacity Curbs
The expansion in China's industrial output likely slowed sharply last month as downpours disrupted factory and mine operations while the government intensified efforts to rein in excess capacity. Official data due Friday will show industrial production increased 6% in July from a year earlier, down from a 6.8% gain in the previous month, according to the median forecast by 33 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Retail sales growth is expected to soften to 4.6%, which would be the lowest in five months.

Aegis General's Accident Health and General Liability GAP Product now Available in 40 States
HARRISBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aegis General Accident Health and General Liability (AGIA AH&GL), a division of K2 Insurance Services, announces today the expansion of their GAP product into 40 states. GAP is an employer-sponsored Group Supplemental Health plan designed to offset the cost of High-Deductible Health Plans by lowering out-of-pocket costs to employees.

Immediate Payout: Bills are paid directly, minimizing delays and avoiding financial stress. Lower Management Burden: Requires less tracking and administration compared to HSAs and FSAs. No Restrictions of Savings Accounts: No 'use-it-or-lose-it' rules, no pre-funding requirements, no contribution limits, and no investment risk.

'GAP is a fully insured product that provides immediate access to benefits. It's been highly successful in the Northeast, where a loyal network of agents sees it as a practical solution to rising medical costs. We're excited to expand its reach to agents nationwide.'

Stockland's (ASX:SGP) investors will be pleased with their stellar 126% return over the last five years
Generally speaking the aim of active stock picking is to find companies that provide returns that are superior to the market average. And while active stock picking involves risks (and requires diversification) it can also provide excess returns. For example, the Stockland (ASX:SGP) share price is up 69% in the last 5 years, clearly besting the market return of around 45% (ignoring dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 28% in the last year, including dividends. So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Stockland's earnings per share are down 2.8% per year, despite strong share price performance over five years. So it's hard to argue that the earnings per share are the best metric to judge the company, as it may not be optimized for profits at this point. Therefore, it's worth taking a look at other metrics to try to understand the share price movements. We note that the dividend is higher than it was previously - always nice to see. Maybe dividend investors have helped support the share price. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. This free report showing analyst forecasts should help you form a view on Stockland What About Dividends? It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. In the case of Stockland, it has a TSR of 126% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! A Different Perspective It's good to see that Stockland has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 28% in the last twelve months. That's including the dividend. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 18% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For example, we've discovered 2 warning signs for Stockland (1 makes us a bit uncomfortable!) that you should be aware of before investing here. Stockland is not the only stock that insiders are buying.
