Smart Closet Inc

Online furniture retailer Wayfair Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>) said on Monday that it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40970727/federal-reserves-bold-rate-cut-retail-sales-rise-and-more-this-week-in-economics">offering $700 million</a> in secured notes to repay some of its debt, joining other companies&#8217; run to the debt markets less than a week after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in four years.
The Fed lowered its key interest rate on Wednesday by an unexpected 50 basis points to a range between 4.75% and 5%, setting in motion an expected gradual decrease in rates on bonds, car loans, mortgages and anything else with an interest rate.
Wayfair said the proceeds from the notes, which will mature in 2029, go towards paying back certain convertible senior notes and general corporate purposes.

Companies Run To Bond Markets After Last Week's Fed Rate Cut

Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee hinted at a series of interest rate cuts over the next 12 months in a discussion at the Economic Club <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">of Minnesota on Monday. </a>
&#8220;We have a long way to come down to get the interest rate to something like neutral,&#8221; Goolsbee said, suggesting that the Fed is preparing to shift away from its current restrictive stance to support economic conditions as the key focus shifts from inflation to the labor market. 
Goolsbee warned a 0.7% increase in unemployment within a year is typically a precursor to a recession, noting that labor market deterioration often happens rapidly.
While acknowledging unemployment is on an upward trajectory, he highlighted that the overall rate remains relatively low, and the Fed remains watchful of the balance between inflation risks and employment trends.
&#8220;At this time, there&#8217;s little evidence that inflation is stalling out at 3%,&#8221; Goolsbee added, underscoring the Fed's commitment to managing inflation risks without undermining the labor market.
&#8220;There are some warning signs, but the economy still has underlying strength,&#8221; Goolsbee said. He highlighted recent upticks in unemployment primarily reflect an increase in labor force participation, with payrolls continuing to grow and consumer spending holding steady.
Interest rate futures are currently pricing in nearly equal odds of a 25 or 50 basis point cut at the Fed's November meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
U.S. Treasury bonds edged lower on Monday, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) slipping 0.2% by the close of trading.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Fitch Ratings See Only &#8216;Modest&#8217; Rate Cuts Ahead</h1>
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s easing cycle is expected to be &#8220;modest&#8221; compared to historical rate-cutting episodes, despite the surprising 50-basis-point reduction at last week's FOMC meeting. 
Fitch Ratings now forecasts the federal funds rate to fall to 4.5% by the end of 2024, and further to 3.5% by the close of 2025. By mid-2026, the rate could stabilize at a neutral level of 3.0%.
Fitch Ratings expects the Fed to implement a 25-basis-point rate cut in both November and December 2024, followed by four additional 25-basis-point cuts through 2025. The agency anticipates that the Fed will lower rates at alternating FOMC meetings next year, signaling a gradual approach to easing monetary policy.
Despite the anticipated cuts, Fitch does not foresee a sharp decline in the U.S. job market. Instead, the agency believes the labor market's current softness is part of a natural recovery in the workforce after the volatility of the past 12-18 months.
With payroll growth continuing and consumer demand holding up, the Fed's cautious approach appears to be aimed at managing economic risks without triggering a sharp downturn.

Fed's Goolsbee Signals Multiple Rate Cuts Ahead, Cites Recession Warning Signs As Unemployment Rises

Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares are moving higher on Monday. The stock appears to be getting a lift after the company sent a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913789/boeing-and-its-largest-union-return-to-table-with-federal-mediators-after-30k-workers-strike-over-fa">labor deal offer to its striking workers</a>.
What Happened: According to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/boeing-strike-union-offer-raises-3881ce87?mod=hp_lead_pos3">report</a>, Boeing on Monday made a new offer to its machinist union workers who voted to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40784605/boeing-labor-deal-sparks-anger-among-union-workers-ahead-of-crucial-vote-theyre-angry">go on strike 11 days earlier</a>. 
The proposal comes as Boeing ramps up efforts to end a walkout that&#8217;s costing the planemaker hundreds of millions of dollars each week. 
The report indicates that Boeing&#8217;s new proposal includes a 30% pay increase over the next four years, up from the 25% increase the company offered in its prior deal. The new deal would also double the ratification bonus to $6,000, reinstate annual bonuses Boeing had planned to eliminate and increase company contributions to retirement plans. 
Boeing said it would continue with its commitment to make its next new airplane in the unionized Pacific Northwest. The company reportedly told workers they have until Sept. 27 to ratify the deal.

Thirty-three thousand machinist union employees walked out on Boeing on Sept. 13 after rejecting a labor deal that they said did not address members&#8217; main concerns. The two sides briefly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913789/boeing-and-its-largest-union-return-to-table-with-federal-mediators-after-30k-workers-strike-over-fa">began negotiating terms again</a> last week before talks were halted on Wednesday.
Union leaders are reportedly asking for a 40% pay increase over four years. The workers are also attempting to win back pensions that were eliminated in 2014, although they have acknowledged the need for a compromise. The report indicates that Boeing&#8217;s new offer doesn&#8217;t include anything about restoring pensions.
BA Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/ba">Boeing shares</a> were up 1.96% at market close Monday. Despite Monday&#8217;s lift, the stock is still down about 10% over the past month, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Lael Brainard, <a href="https://widgets.benzinga.com/topic/lael-brainard">the former vice chair of the Federal Reserve and current director of the National Economic Council</a>, spoke at a Detroit Economic Club event Monday and discussed the current economic climate and why inflation has remained sticky. 
While she acknowledged that inflation has fallen from its 40-year highs, housing and rental prices are still more expensive than what many Americans are comfortable. Brainard was asked by moderator Glenn Stevens, executive director MichAuto, what her current view of the economy is. Brainard discussed the fact that the unemployment rate is historically low as a sign of strength but acknowledged inflation is still above the Fed's target of 2%.

Biden Advisor Outlines Steps To Counter Chinese Influence On The Industry</a>
She pointed to shelter and housing as one particular area where inflation has remained tricky, but explained how the country may go about tackling that problem moving forward. Brainard said the U.S. needs to build three million new housing units to level out supply and demand, bringing prices lower. "Housing to be our next big focus, we have tried to get Congress to work with us on low-income house tax credits they are vital," Brainard said. &#8220;Unfortunately, that bill would have created another 200,000 units [but] that bill was blocked." Brainard said the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by .5% was evidence it is comfortable with the current inflation trends. And while interest rate cuts could lead to lower mortgage rates and increased demand, it also makes it easier for homebuilders to create more homes.&nbsp;
"Now that the inflation challenge is receding, a more favorable interest rate environment will be good for residential construction," Brainard said.

Automotive parts retailer AutoZone Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) looks to keep its streak of earnings beats alive when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results before the market opens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">Tuesday, Sept. 24.</a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect AutoZone will report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $53.53, up from $46.46 in last year's fourth quarter, according to data<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent092324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The company has beaten earnings estimates from analysts in 19 straight quarters according to Benzinga Pro data.
Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter revenue of $6.22 billion, up from $5.69 billion in last year's fourth quarter.
The company has beaten revenue estimates from analysts in eight of the past 10 quarters, but missed estimates in two of the last three quarters.
What Analysts Are Saying: Fourth-quarter sales are likely to be in-line with analyst estimates for AutoZone, Truist analyst Scot Ciccarelli said in a recent investor note.
The analyst said concerns over currency exchange rates could limit the international comparable sales. The auto parts sector also remains "challenging," Ciccarelli added.
"Our data suggests that the beginning and end of the quarter were a bit softer, with relative strength in late June and July, but a reasonably steady cadence throughout," Ciccarelli said.
Ciccarelli also expects gross margins to improve 60 basis points year-over-year in the fourth quarter thanks to holding retail prices steady and being able to lower procurement costs.
"We remain aggressive buyers of AZO, think fundamentals are poised to reaccelerate and believe they will continue to take share over time in a highly favorable vertical.
Here are other recent analyst ratings on AutoZone and their price targets:
Evercore ISI: Maintained Outperform rating, lowered price target from $3,900 to $3,350
Wedbush: Reiterated Outperform rating with $3,200 price target

Key Items to Watch: Data from Placer.ai <a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/auto-parts-retailers-the-traffic-continues">showed</a> AutoZone had visits increase 4.4% year-over-year during the second quarter of the calendar year. Visits were up 7.3%, 2.7% and 5.5% year-over-year for June, July and August, respectively.
The report said auto parts retailers such as AutoZone are "sustaining their pandemic-era success and benefitting from the increase in older cars on the road."
For AutoZone, the trend of repairing vehicles versus replacing them with new ones could continue to benefit the company, according to the report.
The company placed partial blame on the timing of tax refunds and the weather in the third quarter. While tax refunds won't be an item to watch in the fourth-quarter results, the weather could be.
"As we begin our all-important summer selling season, we are very excited about the initiatives we have in place to enhance our inventory availability, continue to accelerate our domestic commercial business and provide great customer service," CEO Phil Daniele said in the third-quarter results.
AZO Price Action: AutoZone stock closed Monday up 0.93%% to $3,048.82 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $2,375.35 to $3,256.37.

Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov agreed to provide user IP addresses and phone numbers to authorities in response to valid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/law">legal requests</a>.
Following his arrest in France last month, Durov, who previously resisted government demands for user data, changed Telegram's terms of service to prevent criminals from exploiting the app, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-23/telegram-ceo-durov-says-app-to-provide-more-data-to-governments">per</a> Bloomberg's report.
French authorities allege Telegram, with its reputation for protecting privacy and using encryption, has become a hub for criminal activities. 
Durov, a dual French-Russian national, denied these charges, stating the misuse of technology should not be blamed on its creators. He remains prohibited from leaving the country after being released on a $5.5 million bail.
Amid legal troubles, Telegram has announced new measures to combat misuse of the platform. Durov revealed the company began using artificial intelligence and human moderation to filter problematic content from search results.
&#8220;We've already started this process internally,&#8221; he stated, adding that more details will be shared soon.
The European Union has been tightening regulations on encrypted communication, even debating proposals such as client-side or on-device scanning of private messages and photos — measures that Al Jazeera <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/6/20/orwellian-eus-push-to-mass-scan-private-messages-on-whatsapp-signal">characterized</a> as "Orwelian."
Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal, reflected on such measures earlier this year, <a href="https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/upload-moderation.pdf">stating</a> &#8220;There is no way to implement such proposals without undermining encryption and creating vulnerabilities.&#8221;
Preston Bryne, a senior fellow at the Adam Smith Institute, raised concerns about the broader implications of Durov's case for online censorship.
&#8220;European states are trying to dictate to foreign companies what content they can and cannot host,&#8221; he <a href="https://prestonbyrne.com/2024/08/24/thoughts-on-the-durov-arrest/">noted</a>, likening the situation to selective enforcement targeting political adversaries.
French President Emmanuel Macron dismissed those allegations calling them "a part of an independent investigation," <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2024/08/28/telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-formally-indicted-prohibited-from-leaving-france_6722943_13.html">per</a> Le Monde.
This decision is certain to impact Telegram's business model, which was rooted in the platform's commitment to protecting users&#8217; privacy. Even before this turnaround, the company's financials were not stellar, as, according to documents obtained <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/242552a9-4280-46c0-9d61-bcf6ccd14400">by</a> the Financial Times, as it lost $259 million in 2023.
It is unclear whether the possible user exodus might benefit competitors like Signal or WhatsApp. Following the news, Meta Platform Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) stock closed at a new all-time high of $573.98

Today, TradePulse&#8217;s latest Power Inflow alert indicated institutional volume is coming into Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), signaling a shift from net selling to buying. This shift is a key indicator of rising investor confidence and the potential for an uptrend in BKNG&#8217;s stock.
At 10:02 AM ET on September 23rd BKNG registered a Power Inflow at a price of $4062.73. Following this signal, the stock reached its high point at 3:55 EDT, climbing over 40 points ($4104.87) during the day, translating to an approximate increase of 1.0%. This alert is crucial for investors relying on order flow analytics, suggesting the beginning of an uptrend and presenting a valuable opportunity for those anticipating higher prices. Observers are now closely monitoring BKNG for sustained positive momentum, viewing this as a bullish sign.
Understanding Power Inflow:
A Power Inflow is identified by a surge in buy orders over sell orders, typically occurring within the first one or two hours after the market opens. This phenomenon is observed in ten to twenty stocks daily, reflecting the initial strategies and reactions of large institutional investors. Analyzing the size, timing, and price of these transactions helps signal shifts in market sentiment and potential price changes. For those interested in monitoring more stocks exhibiting Power Inflows, visiting the TradePulse website provides comprehensive insights and updates on daily occurrences.
Importance of Power Inflow:
Power Inflows are crucial as they offer early indications of potential uptrends, enabling traders to act even before the market fully adjusts. Such a change is commonly viewed as a sign of larger inflows than retail is capable of producing, indicating institutional interest and a short-term uptrend in the stock. Although not always marking the lowest point, stocks tend to rise following a Power Inflow.

$100 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth $2,100 Today

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares moved higher Monday as investors anticipate the company's third-quarter delivery figures and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40987087/us-stocks-stall-gold-updates-record-highs-tesla-rallies-whats-driving-markets-monday">the release of its robotaxi.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Tesla shares climbed nearly 5% Monday after Barclays analyst Daniel Levy said he expects Tesla deliveries to come in higher than the consensus estimate of 460,000, according to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-stock-pops-amid-bullish-sales-forecast-as-robotaxi-unveiling-looms-181255883.html?utm_campaign=bm&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_source=morning_brew">a report</a> from Yahoo Finance.&nbsp;
The Barclays analyst expects Tesla to deliver about 470,000 EVs for the quarter due to an uptick in sales in China.&nbsp;
"Given the positive data points reported thus far in the quarter, particularly in China, we believe Tesla&#8217;s sales trajectory is well understood and investors are expecting a stronger result," Levy wrote.

Levy also expects Tesla's long-awaited "Robotaxi Day" scheduled for Oct. 10 to boost the stock. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39929718/tesla-robotaxi-unveiling-set-for-oct-10-here-are-the-updates-from-company-ceo-elon-musk-on-its-upcom"> hinted at the possibility</a> of the first unsupervised Tesla robotaxi ride by the end of 2024.
"It's difficult, obviously, my predictions on this have been overly optimistic in the past," Musk said. "…based on the current trend… you could do [it] unsupervised possibly by the end of this year. I would be shocked if we cannot do it next year."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">TSLA Stock Prediction 2024</h1>
Tesla&#8217;s revenue growth in FY23 was 18.8%, reflecting the influence of various factors including the macroeconomic environment, demand for its products and services, and its position relative to competitors. This growth is a critical indicator for investors assessing the company&#8217;s future prospects.
Some macro factors that could impact the company's performance in the next year include higher interest rates, progress on reeling in inflation and labor market strength. The Fed's benchmark rate is currently at 4.83%, while PPI recently came in at 0.2%, growing 1.7% from last year. The unemployment rate was most recently reported as 4.2%.
An investor should pay attention to economic conditions to decide whether they think the macro environment is positive or negative for Tesla stock. For real-time economic data and breaking market updates, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">check out Benzinga Pro. Try it for free.</a>
