HSBC Initiates Coverage On KKR with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $148

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) unanimously voted Wednesday to adopt new rules for pricing stocks at less than a penny. The legislation is part of a larger package of proposed reforms, signaling the biggest overhaul of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-stocks">U.S. equity markets</a> in almost two decades.
SEC Chair Gary Gensler characterized <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-137">the effort</a> as "promoting capital formation in a way that links this great market together, in a national best bid, best offer."
Originally, the stocks traded in eights for more than two centuries, drawing tradition from an old custom of cutting the gold coins into "pieces of eight." Eventually, in 1997, the NYSE shifted to 16ths of a dollar before the SEC pushed exchanges to adopt pricing in dollars and cents in 2001.
The upcoming rule change would allow stock exchanges to quote sub-penny increments, promoting more competitive stock prices.
As early as 2022, when the rule was first proposed, Gensler said these changes were necessary to help level the playing field between exchanges and dark markets. He argued that disparities in on-exchange and off-exchange quotes have driven nearly half of all trades off exchanges.
Meanwhile, transaction volume in listed equities tripled in the past 17 years, while the share volume of stocks quoted at less than 1.5 pennies grew to 74% from 54% in 2005.

At today&#8217;s meeting, Jessica Wachter, chief economist and director of the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA), expressed optimism that the changes will reduce transaction costs and help institutional and retail traders.
Wachter noted the extensive research involved in making these changes, but she believed comparing before-and-after rule-implementation transaction costs would show statistical significance. She was planning to evaluate different trade sizes and their effectiveness.
Commissioner Hester Peirce showed the most skepticism toward new reforms, questioning contingency plans in case they don&#8217;t work as intended or cause any negative effects. Peirce, a known critic of the post-2008 regulatory actions, noted that "given the magnitude of the change, the Commission needs to be studying the effects and listening to people in the markets."
Retail broker Charles Schwab and market maker Citadel Securities will be on the watchlist for comments on the matter. Initially, the companies pushed back against these changes, arguing that changes to tick size threaten the stability and efficiency of markets by reducing liquidity and enhancing investor panic during turbulent events.
The new rules are due to take effect in November 2025.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Credibility At Stake</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-fed-day-rate-cut-wall-street-positioning-spy-mc-09182024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of  SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market is near the resistance zone.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the rally has been on low volume.&nbsp; This indicates a lack of conviction.</li>
<li>The chart shows that RSI has just entered the overbought zone.&nbsp; This indicates that the stock market can go either way.</li>
<li>The chart shows that if the stock market does not break out and turns down from here, it will be tracing a triple top.&nbsp; A triple top is a negative pattern.</li>
<li>FOMC will announce its rate decision at 2pm ET today and will be followed by Powell's press conference at 2:30pm ET.</li>
<li>Understanding Wall Street positioning can give investors a big edge.&nbsp; Wall Street is positioned for a 50 bps cut and highly dovish comments.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, the totality of data does not justify a 50 bps cut.&nbsp; Further in The Arora Report analysis, the totality of data does not justify very dovish commentary.&nbsp;</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, if the Fed complies with the momo crowd's demands, the Fed's credibility will be hurt in the long run.&nbsp; There may be unintended consequences.&nbsp; One unintended consequence may be a rise in long term yields in due course.&nbsp; The other potential unintended consequence may be an unhealthy drop in the dollar.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>If the momo crowd gets what they want, S&amp;P 500 at 6000 is a magnet for traders.</li>
<li>If the momo crowd gets what they want, the momo crowd will aggressively buy.&nbsp; However, it is not clear how smart money will react.&nbsp; There is a fair probability of smart money taking advantage of the strength to sell.</li>
<li>If the Fed cuts by 25 basis points, then the market reaction will depend on commentary and the dot plot.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, if the Fed cuts by 25 bps and the commentary is not dovish, there is a downside risk to the stock market.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Prudent investors need to be very mindful that the Fed is about to cut interest rates at a time when the stock market is near its all time high, house prices are near all time highs, and the economy is strong.&nbsp; Historically, the Fed cuts interest rates when the economy is weak or in recession, house prices are falling, and the stock market is weak.&nbsp; By aggressively cutting interest rates now accompanied by highly dovish commentary, the Fed risks its long term credibility.&nbsp; &nbsp; Highly dovish action now also has the potential to start rampant speculation in stocks, housing, and cryptos.</li>
<li>A 50 bps cut and highly dovish commentary will be helpful for a Harris election.&nbsp; The Fed will never admit it, but there is a school of thought that the Fed wants to help Harris win the election.&nbsp; The reason is that Trump has already said he will not reappoint Powell.&nbsp; Further, Trump has said that he will interfere with the Fed.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Housing Starts</h3>
Housing starts came at 1356K vs. 1320K consensus.
Building permits came at 1475K vs. 1415K consensus.
In The Arora Report analysis, activity among builders is increasing as they anticipate falling interest rates will let loose pent up demand.&nbsp; This will increase economic activity, which in turn is good for the stock market.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are positive in SPY and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is seeing buying in anticipation of a 50 bps rate cut.&nbsp; Bullish crypto gurus are hopeful that a 50 bps cut will take bitcoin to a new high.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

A Closer Look at Vertiv Hldgs's Options Market Dynamics

Blockchain-based play-to-earn game Hamster Kombat on Wednesday announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/10/35336333/exclusive-blockchain-p2e-virtual-horse-racing-game-photo-finish-announces-new-funding-meet">transform the game</a> into a full-scale digital entertainment ecosystem, centered around the creation of a game launchpad for independent developers.
What Happened: This shift aims to foster collaboration, allowing smaller studios to share tokenized assets, resources, and in-game materials within the ecosystem.
Launched on Telegram and built on The Open Network (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TON</a>) blockchain, Hamster Kombat has gained popularity among Web3 enthusiasts.
The game allows players to compete by managing virtual crypto exchanges, climbing ranks through daily tasks, mini-games, and strategic decisions. 
The project has garnered attention for its innovative use of blockchain technology to create a more immersive P2E experience​.
In an interview with Benzinga, a representative from Hamster Kombat explained the rationale behind this new direction: "Our goal is to onboard the next billion people into Web3," they said. "We are building an ecosystem where game developers can generate value based on the community-owned $HMSTR token, creating opportunities for collaboration across both Web2 and Web3."
A key aspect of the ecosystem's development is the game launchpad, which will provide a platform for independent studios to bring their games to life. 
These games will benefit from Hamster Kombat's existing audience and may share assets and tokens across titles. 
This launchpad will also offer marketing support, giving smaller developers the visibility they might not otherwise achieve.
By creating a launchpad, we allow creators to share resources and build interconnected gaming experiences, turning Hamster Kombat into much more than just a single game,&#8221; the representative added. 
Asked how Hamster Kombat stands apart from traditional P2E games, the representative said that while the game initially starts with simple mechanics like tapping, it quickly immerses players in a more complex, strategy-driven simulation where they take on the role of a crypto CEO.

Players build teams, manage marketing, and navigate daily events to maximize earnings. 
Cards reflecting current global events are also a feature, adding layers of depth to the gaming experience.
&#8220;Our goal is to make Hamster Kombat engaging and financially rewarding. Players can adopt different strategies, whether it's focusing on team improvements, personal branding, or market expansion,&#8221; the representative said. 
To maintain engagement, the game introduces new mini-games, time-limited events, and collectible skins.
The game is focused on ensuring scalability as the player base continues to grow. 
In collaboration with the TON blockchain, Hamster Kombat is preparing for an airdrop on Sep. 26, using features like sharding to ensure a seamless token distribution experience. 
The team is also actively seeking partnerships with other blockchain ecosystems and game developers, with the aim of creating a more interconnected platform for users.
&#8220;Our focus remains on building a smooth and scalable gaming experience, even during times of high activity. We're collaborating with the TON team to optimize our infrastructure and ensure players have a seamless experience,&#8221; the spokesperson said.
As Hamster Kombat moves towards the launch of its second season, new features and updates are expected to be introduced, including NFT-based interactions and more player-driven decision-making processes. 
The introduction of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) will play a role in in-game governance, with the upcoming Hamster Foundation aiming to support the sustainable development of the $HMSTR token and the broader ecosystem.
This vision extends beyond Hamster Kombat's initial offering as a single game, positioning the platform to become a major player in the blockchain gaming world. &#8220;We see Web3 as the future, where games become dedicated and self-sustaining communities, driven by player ownership and governance,&#8221; the spokesperson said.
What&#8217;s Next: These developments, including the introduction of the game launchpad, will be a focal point at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where industry leaders will explore the future of decentralized gaming and the broader implications for the Web3 space.

Good Morning Traders! In today&#39;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#39;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#39;s dive into the stock analysis:
<h3>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust </h3>
SPY is currently trading near our key level of 564.29. For the bulls, the next target is a push toward 565.38. If buying momentum sustains above this level, we anticipate a further rally to 566.46. Holding this area as support during regular trading hours could signal strength, pushing the price up toward 567.81. The highest target for bullish traders today stands at 569.98.
Should 564.29 fail to hold as support, the bears may take control, driving the price down to test 563.23. A breakdown here could lead to a move toward 561.90. If selling intensifies, a further decline to 560.83 is likely, with a potential low bear target at 559.75 for the day.
<h3>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</h3>
QQQ is auctioning close to the key level of 474.66. Bulls will be looking for strength above this point, aiming to lift the price toward 476.85. If buyers maintain control, the next level to watch is 479.03. With sustained buying pressure, we could see a higher test at 481.73. The high bull target for the day is set at 483.95.
If QQQ struggles to hold 474.66, bearish momentum may emerge, leading to a test of 471.33. Further weakness could bring the price down to 469.27, and if the selloff continues, bears might push the market to 467.60. The final bear target on the day could see a dip to 465.93.
<h3>Apple Inc.</h3>
Apple is trading near 216.70, a critical level for today&rsquo;s auction. Bulls need to defend this area and push the price higher to 218.08. If buying pressure persists, the next target is 219.19, followed by a potential rally to 220.29. Strong bull momentum could drive the price to this high target if Apple holds support.
If 216.70 fails to act as support, we could see a pullback to 215.25. Continued selling pressure would likely bring Apple down to 214.07. If sellers remain active, 212.44 could come into play, with the low bear target resting at 211.12.
<h3>Microsoft Corp. </h3>
Microsoft is currently trading around 437.10. Bulls are looking to defend this level and push the price up to 438.72. A sustained hold above this area would likely lead to a rally toward 441.34. Continued buying momentum could drive the price higher, with a top bull target for the day at 442.95.
If 437.10 cannot hold, bears may take over, initially testing 435.79. Further selling could lead to a move down to 434.49, with increased downside pressure potentially driving the price toward 432.49. A low bear target for the day sits at 431.25.
<h3>NVIDIA Corporation</h3>
NVIDIA is trading around a critical level at 115.83. Bulls need to defend this zone and aim for a rally to 116.61. Should this level be held as support, the next target will be 117.86. Continued bullish pressure could lift the price to the high bull target of 120.27.
If 115.83 breaks to the downside, we expect bears to test lower levels at 115.15. A breakdown at this level could push the price toward 114.29. Should selling intensify, 113.68 becomes the next key area, with a potential test of the low bear target at 112.54.
<h3>Alphabet Inc Class A </h3>
Alphabet is currently trading near 160.36, and bulls are aiming to hold this level as support. A rally to 161.79 is likely if buying momentum persists. Continued strength could drive the price to the high bull target of 163.79.
If the price fails to maintain 160.36 as support, the bears could drive it down to 158.54. Further weakness could lead to a test of 157.41, and on heavy selling, the low bear target at 156.61 might be reached.
<h3>Meta Platforms Inc</h3>
Meta is trading close to 537.68, with bulls needing to hold this level as support to drive the price higher. A potential rally could push the stock up to 541.79. If buyers maintain control, we could see a move toward 548.44, with the high bull target for the day at 553.05.
Should 537.68 fail as support, bears could initiate a selloff to 534.33. Further downside pressure might push Meta toward 531.03. If sellers persist, the low bear target could be reached at 526.29.
<h3>Tesla Inc.</h3>
Tesla is currently near 228.45, and bulls will aim to push the price to 230.65. A strong rally could bring the price to 233.49, with continued buying potentially leading to a test of 235.74. The high bull target for Tesla today stands at 238.50.
If Tesla fails to hold 228.45 as support, bears may push the price lower to 226.53. A breakdown here could lead to 223.98, and if sellers remain in control, the final bear target for Tesla sits at 222.19.
Final Word: Today&rsquo;s trading session brings important catalysts starting with the August Housing Starts and Building Permits data at 8:30 AM ET. However, the main focus will be the FOMC Interest Rate Decision at 1:00 PM ET, where the market anticipates a 50 basis point rate cut. More crucially, traders will pay close attention to the updated Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) dot plot. Fed Chair Powell&rsquo;s press conference at 1:30 PM ET will likely provide essential guidance on the future path of interest rates and monetary policy. Expect heightened volatility throughout the session, with significant price swings possible as the market digests these key events. Stay prepared, manage your risks, and trade cautiously today.

Accenture (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acn#NYSE">ACN</a>) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Over the past month, shares of this consulting company have returned +2%, compared to the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s +1.6% change. During this period, the Zacks Computers - IT Services industry, which Accenture falls in, has gained 4.2%. The key question now is: What could be the stock&#39;s future direction?
While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company&#39;s business prospects usually make its stock &#39;trending&#39; and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.
<h2>Earnings Estimate Revisions</h2>
Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company&#39;s future earnings over anything else. That&#39;s because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors&#39; interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Accenture is expected to post earnings of $2.77 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +2.2%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $11.95 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +2.4%. This estimate has changed +0.2% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $12.60 indicates a change of +5.5% from what Accenture is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.2%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock&#39;s near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for Accenture.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company&#39;s forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
<h2>12 Month EPS</h2>
<h2>Projected Revenue Growth</h2>
Even though a company&#39;s earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It&#39;s almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company&#39;s potential revenue growth is crucial.
For Accenture, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $16.33 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +2.2%. For the current and next fiscal years, $64.82 billion and $67.76 billion estimates indicate +1.1% and +4.5% changes, respectively.
<h2>Last Reported Results and Surprise History</h2>
Accenture reported revenues of $16.47 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -0.6%. EPS of $3.13 for the same period compares with $3.19 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16.52 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -0.35%. The EPS surprise was -0.32%.
Over the last four quarters, Accenture surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. The company could not beat consensus revenue estimates in any of the last four quarters.
<h2>Valuation</h2>
No investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock&#39;s valuation. Whether a stock&#39;s current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company&#39;s growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
While comparing the current values of a company&#39;s valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock&#39;s price.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an An is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Accenture is graded C on this front, indicating that it is trading at par with its peers.
<h2>Bottom Line</h2>
The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it&#39;s worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Accenture. However, its Zacks Rank #2 does suggest that it may outperform the broader market in the near term.
