  • Early Morning Vibes: Don’t Miss These 3 Value Stocks

    Early Morning Vibes: Don’t Miss These 3 Value Stocks

    Previous Day Trading

    On December 3, the US stock exchanges closed without significant changes. The S&P 500 index dropped 0.06% to 3667 points. Dow Jones added 0.29%, NASDAQ rose 0.23%. There were no new traffic drivers, and macro statistics were mixed. The utilities sector became an outsider, shedding 1.1%. This is the only sector in the S&P 500 to show negative dynamics in the last month due to capital flows from defensive to cyclical sectors.

    Companies News

    • The quarterly results of the cloud cybersecurity companies Zscaler (ZS: + 26.5%) and CrowdStrike (CRWD: + 13.6%) significantly exceeded expectations, as did their forecasts for the next quarter. The demand for cybersecurity is increasing.
    • Boeing (BA: + 6%) awarded its first 737 MAX contract since restrictions were imposed 20 months ago for low-cost airline Ryanair.
    • Data collection and management software developer Splunk (SPLK: -23.3%) released a weak quarterly report, citing a pandemic among negative factors.

    Today, world stock exchanges are showing mostly positive dynamics. The prospect of new fiscal stimulus remains a supportive factor, especially for cyclical sectors. Donald Trump’s rhetoric suggests that he will support any agreement between Democrats and Republicans. Mitch McConnell expressed hope yesterday after meeting with Republican senators that a compromise on a new fiscal stimulus package would be reached.

    Meanwhile, the epidemiological situation in the United States continues to deteriorate. Yesterday, 210 thousand infected with COVID-19 were recorded across the country, and this is a new record. The increase in the number of deaths in patients with coronavirus is also causing pessimism. The Governor of California has warned that new state quarantine measures may be introduced over the next few days. In addition, market participants are concerned that pharmaceutical giant Pfizer may not be able to cope with the production of the vaccine in the planned volume. Thus, the situation on the stock market is controversial. To determine the short-term direction of movement, today’s statistics on the labor market, which investors are looking forward to, can help. If the data reflects the weak impact of the COVID-19 factor, it will increase the risk appetite in the stock market.

    Japan’s Nikkei dropped 0.22%, China’s CSI300 rose 0.18%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng climbed 0.40%. European indices are growing. EuroStoxx 50 adds 0.3%.

    The 10-year Treasury rate is reduced to 0.92%. Brent oil futures rise to $ 49.7. Gold rises in price to $ 1840.

    Economic UPDATE

    The US labor market report for November is due today. 469 thousand new jobs are expected to appear against 638 thousand in October, which will mean a slowdown in hiring rates to the lowest since May under the influence of a new wave of the epidemic. The unemployment rate, according to the consensus, will decline from 6.9% to 6.8%.

    Top Movers

    Cinedigm (CIDM) share price is up 60.71% in Friday’s premarket session after reporting that the Company’s eight additional linear streaming channels are now available on Rad’s fast-growing global streaming platform.

    In today’s premarket, BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BCRX) reported 24.83% gain following announcement of FDA approval of ORLADEYO (berotralstat), first oral, once-daily therapy to prevent attacks in Hereditary Angioedema patients.

    NIO Inc. (NIO) share price increased 0.31% in premarket today. An electric vehicles maker recently reported that it delivered 5,291 vehicles in November 2020, a new monthly record representing a solid 109.3% year-over-year growth.
