    Today’s Morning Alert: Top Movers, Analyst Ratings & Important Earnings

    On March 8, American stock exchanges finished trading mostly in the red zone. The S&P 500 index fell 0.54% to 3821 points, the Dow Jones added 0.97%, the NASDAQ lost 2.41%. The outsiders were the IT sector (-2.46%) and the communications sector (-1.47%). The “value” stocks continued to outperform the market: the finance, industrial, and raw materials sectors stood out. Treasury yield rises to 1.60%.

    Company News

    GameStop Corp. (GME: + 41.2%) announced the formation of a strategic commission as part of a business model change taking into account new technologies.

    McAfee (MCFE: + 12.7%) will sell corporate business to Symphony Technology Group to focus on consumer cybersecurity.

    Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. During this day, the focus of attention of investors will be directed to the vote of the House of Representatives on the stimulus package approved earlier by the Senate in the amount of $ 1.9 trillion. Markets are confident that the stimulus package will also be approved by the lower house of the US Congress. Earlier, President Joe Biden said that Americans will be able to receive payments under the program as early as this month.

    Despite the fact that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and FOMC member Lael Brainard noted that further rate hikes could lead to a slowdown on the way to achieving the Fed’s goals, so far this risk remains moderate. Although the approval of the stimulus package has caused a lot of attacks in connection with the current dynamics of bond rates, however, representatives of the regulator do not express much concern about this trend. Janet Yellen noted that the economy will return to full employment in 2022. Speaking about the stimulus package, the US Treasury Secretary said she did not expect the economy to overheat amid injections of additional capital into the stock market.

    The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index remained at 78 out of 100. The indicator reflects the hope of market participants for a recovery in the global economy in 2021. Concerns about a new wave of the pandemic are balanced by the growing pace of vaccinations.

  • Early Morning Vibes: 3 Best Performing Stocks Under $3

    Early Morning Vibes: 3 Best Performing Stocks Under $3

    On December 8, American stock exchanges closed at historic highs. The S&P 500 Index climbed 0.28% to 3702 points, the Dow Jones added 0.35%, the NASDAQ rose 0.5%. The purchases spurred hope for fiscal stimulus, as well as the start of the UK vaccine distribution. The health and energy sectors were the top gains, rising 0.73% and 1.57%, respectively. The real estate segment turned out to be an outsider, losing 0.5%.

    Corporate news

    Tesla (TSLA: + 1.3%) announced a $ 5 billion additional share issue.

    Productivity software maker Smartsheet (SMAR: + 11%) reported strong quarterly results and improved management forecasts.

    Apparel retailer Stitch Fix (SFIX: + 39%) posted a good quarterly report, with a pleasant surprise for investors the company’s profit at a consensus loss.

    Today, world stock markets are showing mostly positive dynamics. The likelihood of accepting an economic aid package is increasing. The day before, Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin presented House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a $ 916 billion economic support bill. Unlike the bipartisan stimulus package last week, the bill provides for a one-time payment of $ 600 to each citizen instead of $ 300 weekly in addition to the unemployment. Republican leaders have already expressed support for Mnuchin’s bill. We believe that the congressmen have not yet been so close to a compromise in the past few months, and this is encouraging.

    Another supportive factor was a report released by the FDA that the Pfizer / BioNTech anticancer vaccine is completely safe and highly effective. The probability of its approval on December 10 is close to 100%, and on the 11th, the distribution of the drug in the United States may begin. We estimate the risk that the pharmaceutical giant will face difficulties in mass production of the vaccine as minimal, although not zero.
