Shares of real estate technology company Compass (NYSE:COMP) jumped 8.2% in the afternoon session after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled that interest rate cuts could be on the horizon, boosting the broader real estate sector. Speaking at the annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, Powell indicated that the central bank's policy is in "restrictive territory" and that the Fed may be ready to start cutting short-term interest rates. Investors interpreted these remarks as a sign that relief could be coming for the real estate sector, which has been weighed down by high borrowing costs. Lower interest rates typically translate to lower mortgage rates, which can stimulate housing demand and benefit real estate brokerages. The positive sentiment lifted real estate stocks across the board, with the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLRE) rising 2% and many individual stocks jumping between 5% and 10%.
Shares of casual salad chain Sweetgreen (NYSE:SG)
fell 3.8% in the morning session after several Wall Street analysts lowered their price targets on the stock, contributing to its slide. The stock has experienced a significant downturn, declining 74% over the past 12 months. The recent pressure follows price target reductions from several financial institutions. For instance, Piper Sandler lowered its price target on Sweetgreen to $12.00 from $20.00, while Barclays cut its objective to $10.00 from $17.00. Morgan Stanley and UBS Group also reduced their price targets. This series of downward revisions from analysts reflects growing concerns on Wall Street about the company's valuation and near-term performance, despite the company reporting revenue growth of 5.74% over the last year.
Shares of intimatewear and beauty retailer Victoria’s Secret (NYSE:VSCO)
fell 3% in the morning session after the company received a lower price target from analysts at UBS, adding to existing concerns about its financial health. The investment bank cut its price target to $21 from $24, although it maintained a "Neutral" rating on the shares. This move adds to a cautious sentiment on Wall Street, where the average analyst price target has recently decreased. The concerns appear rooted in the company's financial performance, which has shown signs of weakness.
Recent financial data indicates challenges with revenue growth, which saw a decline, and profitability, as the company's net margin is in negative territory. Furthermore, Victoria's Secret's debt-to-equity ratio is high compared to industry norms, suggesting potential financial risk. Compounding these company-specific issues is a broader moderation in the consumer discretionary sector, with reports pointing to muted demand conditions that could create headwinds for the retailer.
