The government is out today with its annual update of Social Security’s sick finances:

--The system is $12.5 trillion under water, up from $11.4 trillion a year ago.

--Absent law changes, checks to retirees will have to be chopped 23% beginning in 2035.

--To fix just the retirement pay program, Congress could kick up the payroll tax by 2.8 percentage points. Fixing Medicare’s disastrous finances would be in addition.

    Discounts off the list price vary widely from disease to disease, but they're largely tied to how many competitors there are in the space. If pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) can pit companies against one another, as they have with Gilead and rival AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV), which sells Mavyret and Viekira Pak, they can get steeper discounts than if there's only one superior medication to treat a disease. A few years ago, in protest to the lack of negotiation, PBM Express Scripts (NASDAQ:ESRX) was only covering AbbVie's drug for a while, and Express Scripts has removed drugs in other diseases from its formulary for playing hardball on negotiations.

    Renewable-power stalwart Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) has a dividend yield of 3.2%, near the lowest levels in the partnership's history. Other prominent names in the space have even lower dividend yields. France's TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) has a 7.3% yield. And while some may argue that it's an oil stock, TotalEnergies has a long history in renewable power with even bigger plans for the future. Dividend-focused investors like myself would do well to take a close look.

    Three Stocks to Watch Today: LC, GE, GS General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) has ousted its CEO John Flannery. Shares are up more than 10% as investors celebrated the news. GE has been mired in a slump, particularly its turbine business. The firm's new CEO is H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., the former CEO of the industrial firm Danaher. Shares of LendingClub Corp. (NYSE: LC) are under pressure after the SEC charged one of the firm's divisions with mishandling client money. This weekend, the firm reached a settlement with regulators on charges that the firm inflated its revenue and made changes to products to make the firm look healthier than it is. As a result, the firm's board of directors forced CEO Renaud Laplanche to resign. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) has replaced CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who has stepped down after more than a decade at the helm at one of Wall Street's most iconic banks. David Solomon – who has previously served as the firm's president and COO – will now bet the new CEO. His tenure begins at a tough time for Goldman as the bank struggles with lower trading desk revenues. Look for earnings reports today from Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ: CALM) and Xcerra Corp. (NASDAQ: XCRA).

    Darden Restaurants Inc. (NYSE: DRI) leads a fairly busy day of earnings reports. The restaurant management giant easily topped Wall Street profit numbers by reporting earnings per share of $1.34. The average Wall Street estimate was $1.23. The firm also easily topped revenue expectations. DRI shares were up 4.5% this morning. The problems continue to mount for General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE). This morning, JPMorgan Securities slashed its price target for the U.S. conglomerate from $11 to $10 per share. The investment firm cited ongoing challenges to the company's turbine business. General Electric has been under pressure since the financial crisis, and it was the worst performing stock on the Dow in 2017 before it was ultimately replaced on the index. Shares of Under Armour Inc. (NYSE: UAA) added 3.4% this morning, but the driver wasn't necessarily positive for the global apparel giant. According to reports, the Baltimore-based sports apparel giant is cutting 3% of its international workforce. That equates to roughly 400 jobs. The company did raise its fiscal 2018 earnings forecast, and issued a revised update of severance costs. Look for earnings reports from Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), Thor Industries Inc. (NYSE: THO), United Natural Foods Inc. (NASDAQ: UNFI), Steelcase Inc. (NYSE: SCS), Scholastic Corp. (NASDAQ: SCHL), and Xcerra Corp. (NASDAQ: XCRA).

It was the second dam collapse in less than five years that caused catastrophic damage and killed several hundred people.
