Dear Investorean,
Too busy living life to keep up with the markets? No worries, we’ve got you covered! Here’s what happened this week:
The U.S. stock market experienced volatility at the start of the week due to the upcoming presidential election and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Stocks initially slipped on Monday but rebounded on Tuesday, led by a tech sector rally with Amazon's strong earnings boosting market sentiment.
By midweek, stocks surged further following the election results and the Fed's rate cut. Major indexes like the Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit record highs, driven by positive economic data and investor optimism following Trump's win.
Coinbase, our second-largest holding, saw a significant rise as the pro-crypto election outcome spurred a market rally, especially benefiting cryptocurrency companies. Coinbase, which supported pro-crypto candidates, surged as investors anticipated a more favorable regulatory environment.
This Week's Top Gainer in US Markets (excluding small caps under $2B market cap):
- Company: SEZL (Sezzle Inc. Common Stock)
- Gain: 102.57%
Sezzle Inc (NASDAQ: SEZL) reported a 71.3% year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue, driven by higher consumer purchase frequency and subscriber growth. The company achieved a net income of $15.4 million with a 22.1% net income margin and set a new quarterly high with an adjusted net income of $17.3 million. Sezzle surpassed its 'rule of 100' with a score of 151, reflecting 71% revenue growth, a 55% gross margin, and a 25% adjusted net income margin. The launch of a banking program with Web Bank is expected to streamline regulatory processes and boost profitability. As a result, Sezzle raised its 2024 guidance and projects a 20% growth in 2025 adjusted EPS over 2024.
This Week's Top Loser:
- Company: PACS (PACS Group, Inc.)
- Loss: -50.33%
Shares of PACS Group Inc. dropped 28% on Monday following a Hindenburg Research report accusing the nursing home operator of "systematically scamming taxpayers."
