Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness on US consumer and economic concerns.

The United States will be showered with love as 56% of its adults are planning to celebrate this Valentine&#39;s Day. About 28% of the population will observe the occasion. Spending would be a total of $27.5 billion (an average of $188.81 per person, up from $185.81 in 2024),&nbsp;<a href="https://nrf.com/research-insights/holiday-data-and-trends/valentines-day" target="_blank">per NRF</a>. The amount is up from last year&#39;s $25.8 billion and slightly above the previous record of $27.4 billion set in 2020.&nbsp;
Naturally, the day of love will translate into a great day for business. But exchanging chocolates, greeting cards, flowers, and precious metals as gifts may seem clich&eacute;d to some people lately. Instead, impress your loved one in a unique way with stocks of companies that are likely to do good business this Valentine&#39;s Day.
Let&#39;s dive a little deeper.
<h2>Candies, Cards &amp; Flowers Continue to Remain Age-Old Gift</h2>
About 56% of consumers are planning to buy candies, followed by greeting cards (40%) and flowers (40%). Zacks Rank #3 (Hold)&nbsp;Simply Good Foods (SMPL) is likely to be one of the best bets this year. When it comes to ETF investing, companies within First Trust Nasdaq Food &amp; Beverage ETF&nbsp;FTXG and Invesco Dynamic Food &amp; Beverage ETF&nbsp;PBJ should do good business on this day of love.
<h2>Gifting Precious Metals Is Ageless</h2>
Gifting jewelry this Valentine&#39;s Day has become more popular than ever before. About 22% of the population plans to spend on jewelry. Total spending on jewelry could touch a high of $6.5 billion, per NRF. Forget gifting precious metal in physical form, gift gold bullion ETF&nbsp;SPDR Gold Shares&nbsp;GLD. It is up about 9% this year. Gold is considered to be a safe haven and may gain strength if stock volatility persists.
<h2>Gifting an Experience: An Emerging Trend</h2>
About 35% of people are planning an evening out and are likely to spend about $5.4 billion. In this regard, restaurant ETF&nbsp;AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF&nbsp;EATZ and experience ETFs like&nbsp;Amplify Travel Tech ETF AWAY&nbsp;should benefit. As far as stocks are concerned, Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) players&nbsp;Intercontinental Hotels Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ihg#NYSE">IHG</a>)and Darden Restaurants DRI are good bets.
<h2>Shopping Online: The Latest Fad</h2>
About 38% of consumers are planning to buy their Valentine&#39;s gifts online this year.&nbsp;ProShares Online Retail ETF&nbsp;(ONLN) is a beneficiary of the trend. With all the celebrations around, who can forget&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;AMZN, a hot destination for online shopping?
<h2>Dollar Store: A Winner Too?</h2>
Visiting department stores (34%) and discount stores (29%) would also remain in trend. Consumers will look for sales and promotions while celebrating Valentine&#39;s Day this year. Several discount retailers like Zacks Rank #2&nbsp;Costco&nbsp;COST may win from the trend and make&nbsp;VanEck Vectors Retail ETF&nbsp;RTH a gainer.

Barclays Upgrades InterContinental Hotels to Overweight

Airfares over the Labor Day holiday have fallen but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/08/40659277/labor-day-getaway-travelers-hit-the-road-as-gas-prices-drop">other travel costs</a> have risen from a year ago.
Domestic airfare is down 5% compared to last year's Labor Day airfares, and down 17% compared to 2019 levels, data from travel app Hopper reveals. 
&#8220;Prices are low due to high supply in the market from airlines and more favorable fuel prices in today's market compared to last year,&#8221; according to Hopper. 
Another source, the American Automobile Association, says domestic airfare is 2% cheaper this Labor Day weekend than a year ago, with an average price for a U.S. domestic roundtrip flight of $780. International flights cost 8% less at an average cost of $1,370, AAA said. 
Domestic car rentals are 16% cheaper this Labor Day weekend compared to last year, averaging $560 for a several-day booking, but international car rentals are 21% more expensive, averaging $1,100 for a several-day rental, AAA said.

Top 3 Consumer Stocks That May Crash In January

Morgan Stanley&nbsp;analyst Jamie Rollo conducted an online survey of 135 corporate travel managers responsible for about $8 billion in travel spend with a global spread of operations, and shared the findings.
The survey, which is Morgan Stanley&rsquo;s 21st annual Global Hotel Corporate Travel Survey, has historically been a reasonable guide to future RevPAR growth, says the analyst.
Respondents expect their 2024 travel budgets to be, on average, ~8% above 2023, writes the analyst.
According to the analyst, it is encouraging that budgets appear to be holding up well given the growing macroeconomic uncertainty, and 8% is well above consensus expectations for just about 2% RevPAR growth in 2024.
About 40% of respondents said that their companies have returned to pre-COVID travel levels, a marked increase compared to the analyst&rsquo;s May 23 / Oct 22 surveys.
Room rates are expected to increase by 5% YoY on average in 2024, ranging from 4-5% in the U.S./U.K. to -1% in China, notes the analyst.
Respondents expect 5-6% room rate growth next year for all major global chains like&nbsp;Marriott International&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mar#NASDAQ">MAR</a>),&nbsp;Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hlt#NYSE">HLT</a>),&nbsp;InterContinental Hotels Group&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ihg#NYSE">IHG</a>) and&nbsp;Accor SA&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/accyy#OTC">ACCYY</a>).

Respondents expect to see ~12% of the meetings that would have been physical pre-pandemic to have shifted virtual, lower than the 18-20% shift in previous surveys. This suggests a degree of permanence in the shift to virtual, but the ongoing decline in expectations could provide a tailwind to spend, writes the analyst.
The shift to virtual meetings is bigger for European respondents than U.S. (13% versus 10% for 2024), and is expected to rise in Europe but fall in the U.S. in 2025 (16% versus 9%).
Also See:&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/11/35530645/hilton-looks-to-lure-holiday-crowd-with-hallmark-movie-themed-suites" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">Hilton Looks To Lure Holiday Crowd With Hallmark Movie Themed Suites</a>
The analyst notes budget hotels tend to outperform upscale in tough economic environments, and while the trend is negative for some of the U.S.listed companies that skew to higher chainscales like&nbsp;Hyatt Hotels Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/h#NYSE">H</a>), Hilton and Marriott, it is positive for both the European-listed companies that skew midscale/economy and those in the U.S. focused on these segments like&nbsp;Wyndham Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wh#NYSE">WH</a>) and&nbsp;Choice Hotels International, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chh#NYSE">CHH</a>).
Also, the analyst says that every major hotel company in the U.S. and Europe reported a stronger Q3 than Q2, in terms of RevPAR relative to 2019,<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/10/35284457/why-wyndham-hotels-resorts-shares-are-jumping-today" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">&nbsp;further solidifying the positive outlook for hotels.</a>

<a href="https://republic.com/acfn">Learn more about investment opportunities with ACFN here</a>.
ACFN Franchise Inc. is a leading Automated Teller Machine (ATM) provider. It is also North America&rsquo;s only ATM franchise business and it is taking advantage of the passive investment this model enables. The company is currently running a <a href="https://republic.com/acfn">round of investment</a> to raise funds for scaling the business and pushing growth in 2023.
People turn to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/passive-income-investing-the-path-to-true-wealth">passive income investments</a> because they can generate income without needing constant attention, unlike active daily employment. Franchises are frequently <a href="https://www.costanalysts.com/passive-income-franchises/#:~:text=Using%20the%20definition%20above%2C%20yes,oversight%20to%20run%20each%20one.">chosen</a> as a means of creating passive income streams, as franchises come with a brand and business model already established. However, not all franchises are created equal, and some can be less labor-intensive and require less maintenance than others.
Investing in ATMs can open multiple opportunities for passive income, as ATMs offer <a href="https://www.therealassetinvestor.com/investments/prestige-fund-d#:~:text=ATM%20investments%20provide%20a%20steady,tax%20benefits%20using%20Bonus%20Depreciation.">real asset ownership</a> as well as a consistent cash flow. Many business owners choose to install an ATM on their property to meet customer needs and because they make money on every transaction through ATM fees.
Despite the popular perception that the economy is moving past the need for cash, ATMs are still widely used across the country. The global ATM market is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/22/06/g27839770/28-8-billion-worldwide-atm-industry-to-2031-identify-growth-segments-for-investment">worth $22 billion</a>, and ATMs get used over <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/atm-global-market-report-2022---by-atm-type-solution-operation-application-and-region-301575726.html">10 billion times</a> every year in the United States. ACFN is one company capitalizing on the continued convenience offered by ATMs, as well as by the interest franchisers have in low-maintenance investments that generate passive income.&nbsp;
<h2>ACFN&rsquo;s Franchise Model</h2>
ACFN is an ATM service provider that offers full ATM services, including installation, ongoing maintenance, and customer support. Founded in 1996 and franchised 2003, the company has dispensed over <a href="https://acfn-solutions.com/about">$5 billion</a> at more than <a href="https://acfn-solutions.com/acfn-testimonials">2,800 locations</a> across America. It is also the largest provider of ATM machines to hotels across the country, supplying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/22/11/29657944/wage-inflation-and-the-high-cost-of-fuel-creating-favorable-economic-conditions-for-acquisitions-and">1,800 hotels</a> from major chains like the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Marriott (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mar#NASDAQ">MAR</a>), and IHG Hotels and Resorts (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ihg#NYSE">IHG</a>). In the past year alone, ACFN&rsquo;s ATMs have <a href="https://republic.com/acfn">dispensed</a> over $360 million and generated $14 million in revenue.
ACFN is unique because, as well as being an ATM service provider, it offers a franchising model. It is the only ATM franchise business in North America, and it has been <a href="https://republic.com/acfn">named</a> Top Low-Cost Franchise as well as being ranked in the Franchise 500 listing. The company has been franchising since 2003 and currently has <a href="https://www.atmfranchise.com/index.html">over 230</a> franchise partners.&nbsp;
ACFN franchisees are given a turnkey ATM business and lots of support getting set up, with one franchise directory <a href="https://www.franchisegator.com/franchises/acfn-the-atm-franchise/">describing</a> ACFN as a low-cost, high-return franchise investment opportunity. ACFN provides mentoring sessions that instruct franchisees on how to succeed using the model, and gives the franchisees marketing materials, support for ATM installations and ongoing access to national databases for leads. According to ACFN, each ATM only requires a few minutes of maintenance every week, and it won&rsquo;t require hiring any additional employees, making an ACFN franchise streamlined and easy to keep up.&nbsp;
The company is currently taking a round of investing, and it plans to conduct strategic acquisitions of its competitors in 2023 to accelerate company growth. <a href="https://republic.com/acfn">Want to invest? ACFN is taking investments right now!</a>
