The leader of one of the largest U.S. carriers said there have been more iPhone 16 sales in the first week of preordering compared to the same period last year for the iPhone 15. The iPhone 16 was announced on Sept. 9 , when the company held this year's fall new product event. So, they're buying up the food chain, and they're buying at a greater rate," Sievert said, dismissing any softer iPhone 16 sales data as "nonsense." This is important because mobile carriers — including Verizon and AT & T — are the single-largest iPhone sales channel for Apple. Apple CEO Tim Cook inspects the new iPhone 16 during an Apple special event at Apple headquarters on September 09, 2024 in Cupertino, California.

The S & P 500 gave up post-Fed gains Wednesday and closed modestly lower. Morgan Stanley should have a decent pop when trading opens because lower interest rates should boost parts of its business , including investment banking. MS YTD mountain Morgan Stanley YTD We thought Morgan Stanley's share price was too low to sell when we held our September Monthly Meeting last week. Based on premarket prices, Morgan Stanley shares were hovering around $101, representing a much better level to take some off. One more factor behind our trim is that the S & P Short Range Oscillator remained in overbought territory after Wednesday's close.

The Fed was widely expected to lower short-term interest rates, but the 25 basis points versus 50 debate raged right up until the announcement. Mortgage rates: We talked last week during our September Monthly Meeting about how housing activity can start to pick up when mortgage rates fall off their cycle highs to somewhere in the range between 5% and 6.5%. However, what the data shows is how sensitive activity is to every dip in mortgage rates.

Like the overall market, Microsoft has been running higher of late as odds increasingly favor a 50-basis-point Fed cut. With so much hope on Wall Street, if the Fed were to go with a smaller 25-basis-point move, the market could get hit and pressure Microsoft stock. The Club has a $500 per share price target on Microsoft stock. That's our fundamental case, which aligns with technical analysis of Microsoft's one-year stock chart pattern.

Faster delivery is prompting more and more people to turn to Amazon to buy paper towels and other everyday items. The growing prevalence of one- and same-day delivery has made Amazon a much more convenient to place to shop for everyday essentials. "If people buy everyday essentials on Amazon, they're more likely to buy other products too," said Jeff Marks, the Club's director of portfolio analysis. This added convenience in ordering everyday essentials from Amazon comes at a challenging time for physical retailers known for selling those same products. The company likes "to be in the consideration set for consumers" in the everyday essentials since it helps drive market share gains, Olsavsky said.

"This is the bank stock to buy, if you want to buy a bank stock," Jim offered, arguing that the regulatory snag shouldn't be a huge surprise to the market either. The agency said in a statement that Wells Fargo has already started to take corrective steps to remedy these issues. During Thursday's September Monthly Meeting, he said he would consider Wells Fargo as an honorary 13 core portfolio holding .

We have an embarrassment of riches when we look at TJX Companies and Costco in terms of just flat-out value — and a dicey one, admittedly, in Best Buy , which I think has turned an important corner. Costco Research firm Redburn downgraded Costco this week, which made me want to downgrade Redburn. But Costco stock has never been cheap. It was just a one-off thing but I think that Best Buy has worked its way into the conversation after its last quarter. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long TJX, COST, BBY, AAPL.

We started buying Home Depot shares last week as a play on housing and interest rates. Our Home Depot investment thesis is all about a pickup in housing turnover, the main driver of the home improvement retailer's sales. When rates went below 6.5% toward the end of last year, he explained, there was an immediate increase in housing activity, mortgage applications, and mortgage refinance applications. Mortgage rates with a 5% handle could be on the horizon, at least that's what Toll Brothers CEO Doug Yearley thinks. With these numbers, it's easy to see why Decker is optimistic that activity will normalize, and housing turnover and remodel activity will pick-up again.
