Gordon Haskett Upgrades Home Depot to Buy, Announces $450 Price Target

Tens of thousands of dockworkers have gone on strike, potentially affecting holiday shopping. The strike began after the International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance failed to agree on a new labor contract.
What Happened: The strike has led to the closure of 36 ports along the East and Gulf Coasts, which handle nearly half of all U.S. ocean imports. This could cost the economy $540 million daily, as per The Conference Board&#8217;s analysis, Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longshoremen-strike-leaves-east-and-gulf-coast-ports-shuttered-2024-9">reported</a> on Tuesday.
The union is demanding a 77% pay increase over six years to match inflation. This demand would still place them below many of their West Coast counterparts, CBS News reported.
The timing is critical, with the U.S. presidential election a month away and the holiday season approaching. The strike follows Hurricane Helene, which caused significant damage and disrupted supply chains in the Southeast.
While large retailers like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) have prepared for such disruptions, mid-size and smaller businesses may face significant challenges.
&#8220;The Fortune 100s — your Walmarts and even Home Depots — are probably going to be fine,&#8221; Pacula said. 
&#8220;They generally have very mature supply chains,&#8221; Brian Pacula, a supply chain partner at West Monroe consulting firms, said.
Michael Yamartino, CEO of Route, noted that rerouting shipments to the West Coast will be costly and time-consuming, thus affecting mid-sized and smaller businesses that rely on European suppliers.
&#8220;The auto industry is high on that list,&#8221; Yamartino added.

President Joe Biden has stated he has no plans to intervene, despite calls from trade groups. However, if the strike continues, federal involvement may become necessary to prevent further economic damage.
Why It Matters: The strike&#8217;s impact extends beyond the immediate closure of ports. Major companies like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc., (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/41097541/amazon-apple-tesla-brace-for-supply-chain-disruptions-as-potential-east-coast-dockworkers-strike">bracing for substantial disruptions</a>. These companies rely heavily on East Coast ports for consumer electronics and inventory, and delays could significantly impact their operations, especially with the holiday shopping season around the corner.
The strike, which began on Oct.1, could halt billions of dollars worth of goods, potentially complicating holiday shopping. The New York Times reported that the last time the International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association orchestrated a strike of this <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/09/41098327/longshoremen-strike-looms-standoff-could-cost-1b-a-day-leave-thanksgiving-prep-in-a-pinch">magnitude was in 1977.</a> Recent labor victories by major unions like the Teamsters and the United Auto Workers (UAW) have set a high bar, giving the dockworkers significant leverage in their negotiations.

Dockworkers Strike: Will It Impact Your Holiday Shopping?

Hurricane Helene and the aftermath of the Category 4 storm have left over 100 people dead, millions without power and destruction not seen in decades in several states since making<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41073069/hurricane-helene-update-28-dead-power-outages-insurance-damages-and-more"> landfall Thursday night.</a>
What Happened: The hurricane, which shut down airports, roads and bridges, theme parks and sporting contests<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/09/41053573/hurricane-helene-disrupts-flights-sports-events-disney-operations-affected-regions-stocks-to-watch"> ahead of the storm&#8217;s landfall,</a> further devastated the states in its path after making landfall.
At least 102 people are dead across the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-helene-florida-north-carolina-georgia-09-30-24/index.html">CNN</a>.
With more than 100 dead, Hurricane Helene now ranks as one of the deadliest hurricanes to hit the U.S. in the last 50 years. Hurricane Katrina had 1,833 fatalities and remains the worst storm in the last 50 years. Helene ranks third behind Katrina and Hurricane Ian, which caused 150 deaths.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Hurricane Helene "spared no one" when it came to the storm path.
"It looks like a tornado went off, it looks like a bomb went off," Kemp said.
Regions in North Carolina and South Carolina received four to five months worth of rain over a three-day period.
The federal government has declared a public health emergency for Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Federal disaster declarations have been made for Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
President Joe Biden is set to visit some of the impacted areas later this week "as soon as it will not disrupt emergency response operations," the White House said. Former President Donald Trump is set to visit areas impacted by the hurricane on Monday.

North Carolina Hit Hard: Among the states most affected by Hurricane Helene is North Carolina, with Buncombe County, home of the city of Asheville, accounting for at least 40 of the storm fatalities. 
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper called Hurricane Helene "one of the worst storms in modern history."
Over 200 roads are closed in North Carolina as of Monday, with many people still unaccounted for, meaning the fatality count could rise in the coming days.
The hurricane damage in North Carolina could impact several key <a href="https://www.commerce.nc.gov/business/key-industries-north-carolina">industries</a>, with the state&#8217;s plastics/chemical workforce being one of the country&#8217;s largest, as well as North Carolina being a large employer in the automotive sector, the home of several large financial companies, the second largest turbine manufacturer and a key semiconductor manufacturer.
The state is one of the largest textile manufacturers in the country and is the home of Hanesbrands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBI#NYSE">HBI</a>).
Fourteen of the Fortune 500 companies call North Carolina home, including Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>).
Lowe's and peer home improvement company Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) are among the companies that could benefit from the restoration efforts in the region and the home repairs and rebuilds needed in the coming months.
Power Outages: Over 4 million homes had no power as of Friday across Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
As of Monday morning, 2 million homes and businesses remain without power.
Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which is headquartered in North Carolina, offers utilities to several of the states impacted by the storm. The company <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/duke-energys-hurricane-helene-recovery-restores-power-to-more-than-1-1-million-in-south-and-north-carolina-downed-trees-blocked-roadways-damaged-and-destroyed-power-equipment-impeding-efforts-in-the-sc-upstate-region-and-nc-302261927.html">said </a>it has restored power to more than 1.1 million people in North Carolina and South Carolina with over 900,000 customers still without power as of Sunday night, primarily in the Carolinas. 
Helen&#8217;s aftermath could be a long process for Duke Energy, which is a publicly traded company.
"Based on what we can see on the ground, from helicopter and by drone, there are lots of areas across the South Carolina Upstate and North Carolina mountains where we're going to have to completely rebuild parts of our system, not just repair it," Duke Energy storm director for the Carolinas Jason Hollifield said.
Georgia Power, which is a unit of Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), is another utility company that <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/georgia-power-releases-key-estimated-damage-statistics-from-hurricane-helene-as-restoration-progress-continues-302261899.html">faced </a>heavy power outages. The company said Sunday that it had restored power for around 690,000 customers and around 425,000 are still without power.
The utility company said Hurricane Helene was the "most destructive hurricane" in company history. The company estimates it will have to replace or repair over 5,000 power poles, over 9,000 spans of wire and over 500 transformers.
Generator company Generac Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) could see a lift in the current quarter with heavy purchases likely to have been made ahead of the storm.
Insurance Impact: After the hurricane hit an area of Florida with a lower population than other regions, a report from the Miami Herald said the losses from the storm could be modest for the state's insurance market and smaller than Hurricane Ian (2022) and Hurricane Michael (2018).
Ahead of the storm, a report from reinsurance company Gallagher Re, which is a unit of Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), said private insurers' losses could come in a range of $3 billion to $6 billion across multiple states.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) are among the publicly traded companies that could be impacted by the insurance claims from the hurricane.
 A new report from AccuWeather, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/live-blog/helene-deadly-storm-live-updates-rcna173203">shared </a>by NBC News, says the total damage from the storm and the economic loss could total a range of $145 billion to $160 billion. The previous AccuWeather estimate was a range of $95 billion to $100 billion.

Home Depot's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

At least 28 people are reportedly dead in three states after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41028566/tropical-storm-helene-set-to-become-hurricane-generac-duke-energy-stocks-react-as-florida-braces">Hurricane Helene made landfall</a>.
What Happened: Hurricane Helene was classified as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane">a Category 4 storm</a> when it made landfall Thursday night in Florida. It brought heavy rain and winds of over 100 miles per hour.
By Friday, the storm was downgraded to a tropical storm. It continued to make its path north to Georgia and South Carolina, as <a href="https://apnews.com/live/hurricane-helene-tracker-maps-updates">reported </a>by the Associated Press.
At last check, the casualties from Hurricane Helene, according to the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/hurricane-helene-landfall-florida-tracker-death-toll-b2619842.html">Independent</a>, total 28. 
Among the hardest hit areas of Hurricane Helene was the Big Bend region of Florida. This is the third hurricane in more than a year to hit the area. 
Hurricane Helene is also expected to cause more damage than the combined damage from Hurricane Idalia (August 2023) and Hurricane Debby (August 2024).
"To have something that was even bigger than those two storms causing a lot of damage, I think it's a sense of trauma for the community," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Friday.
Storm cleanup and recovery efforts Friday included trying to open airports in Florida that were previously closed to prepare for the storm and to get bridges and roads back open that had been shut down ahead of the storm.
Here's an update on the storm's impact on the power outages, the insurance market, and the stocks investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/09/41053573/hurricane-helene-disrupts-flights-sports-events-disney-operations-affected-regions-stocks-to-watch">are likely watching.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Power Outages</h2>
Over four million homes remain without power as of Friday across the areas hit the hardest like Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Florida had lost power in the hours before the hurricane made landfall.
Investors will closely be monitoring Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) — one of the largest power companies in Florida.
With the anticipated power outages and storm damages from the storm, investors will be closely watching generator company Generac Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) to see if the company gets a boost in its financials in the current quarter from the storm's impact.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Storm Damage, Insurance Impact</h2>
A <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article293117729.html">report </a>from the Miami Herald said the losses from the storm could be modest for Florida's insurance market and smaller than Hurricane Ian (2022) and Hurricane Michael (2018).
"This looks like it will not be a large loss event for Florida insurers," Insurance Information Institute spokesperson Mark Friedlander said.
Friedlander said it could be "a manageable event," which could be due to the hurricane hitting an area of Florida that is not as populated as other parts of the state.
A report from reinsurance company Gallagher Re, which is a unit of Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), said Wednesday that private insurers' losses could come in a range of $3 billion to $6 billion across the multiple states impacted.
For comparison, Hurricane Michael, which was a Category 5 storm that hit Florida, caused $9 billion in losses. Hurricane Irma represented around one million claims and $20 billion in losses.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) are among the publicly traded companies that could be impacted by the insurance claims from the hurricane.
The Aftermath: The death toll from Hurricane Helene is likely to rise as search and rescue missions are underway across several states. Power outages could persist for days and the damage done from the storm will take months to years to recover from for businesses and residents.
Home improvement retailers Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) are other stocks often linked to hurricanes due to the damage done to homes and repair efforts that are needed.
With hurricane season still active until late November, the areas impacted by Hurricane Helene will be hoping that more large storms don't make landfall in the coming months.

Hurricane Helene Update: 28 Dead, Power Outages, Insurance Damages And More

Hurricane Helene is on track to hit Florida and the Gulf Coast region Thursday night in what could be one of the most powerful storms to strike the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane">regions in decades.</a>
Here's a look at the regions most affected, and how the hurricane is impacting travel, sports, and key stocks to watch.
Hurricane Path: Hurricane Helene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41028566/tropical-storm-helene-set-to-become-hurricane-generac-duke-energy-stocks-react-as-florida-braces">could hit and impact</a> several major cities in Florida and the nearby states, including Tampa, Tallahassee and Atlanta.
Currently a Category 2 hurricane, the storm could be elevated to a Category 3 or Category 4 storm in the coming hours and days. The hurricane is expected to be one of the largest storms in the region over the last century, as <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-helene-florida-09-26-24/index.html">reported </a>by CNN.
Over three million people in Florida and Georgia are currently under a Tornado Watch until 10 p.m. ET Thursday night.
A CNN meteorologist predicts that peak wind could reach over 100 mph in some regions Thursday and Friday, with rainfall of up to 12 inches in certain areas.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned of the potential that Hurricane Helene could shift its path and could hit Tallahassee, the state's capital. Tallahassee has never been directly hit by a Category 3 hurricane.
"This area has not had a major hurricane hit in quite some time, and certainly nobody in recent memory has seen a storm of this magnitude that has hit," DeSantis said, as reported by CNN.
While the worst of the storm will likely be felt in Florida and Georgia, the storm's path, which could increase in size, is expected to travel through portions of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois, with the non-Florida states getting hit on Friday and Saturday.

Stocks to Watch: Among the sectors that could be hit by the hurricane is the airline industry, with over 1,000 flights canceled Thursday at several Florida airports.
Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) was listed as the airline with the most impact on the region by CNN, with the potential for its flights to resume Friday morning. The company has waived change fees for flights to other regions and airports to help travelers.
Florida is a key region for many theme parks, including Disney World, the popular theme park from The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>). Disney World has announced some park experiences have been closed due to the hurricane, but the theme park remains open. Disney World has closed for several hurricanes over the years, as <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2024/09/26/hurricane-helene-florida-theme-parks-closed-open-disney-universal-orlando/75389447007/">reported </a>by Tallahassee Democrat. Hurricane Ian in September 2022 was the last time Disney World fully closed.
United Parks &amp; Resorts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRKS#NYSE">PRKS</a>) closed Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and several water parks it owns in the region, while SeaWorld Orlando remains open Thursday.
Insurance stocks will likely be on watch, with the damage from the storm causing potential billions of dollars in damage. Stocks like Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) could see heavy claims from customers after the storm.
Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) is a larger operator in Florida and could see interest from investors as the storm damage and power outages are assessed.
While the stocks above could be negatively affected by the hurricane, several stocks could be viewed as winners from storm damage and prolonged power outages.
Generac Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is often viewed as a hurricane stock thanks to its sale of generators and power equipment. Generac shares are up 7% in the last five days, in possible anticipation of the impact of Hurricane Helene.
Home improvement retailers Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) could see a positive impact from repairs needed to homes in the region and see their quarterly results reflect the increased sales, depending on the storm&#8217;s size.
Sports Impact: The early impact of the storm was witnessed in the sports world Wednesday, with Major League Baseball cancelling the Atlanta Braves (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BATRA#NASDAQ">BATRA</a>) and New York Mets contests set for Wednesday and Thursday. The games will now be played in a doubleheader Monday, <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41442218/mets-braves-games-wednesday-thursday-postponed-monday-doubleheader">extending </a>the MLB regular season.
The games are pivotal in the current fight for the National League Wild Card race to secure a postseason berth. The Mets (87-70) currently lead the Braves (86-71) in the Wild Card race. It's possible that Monday's games could decide which team makes it into the MLB Playoffs. For the Mets, the team could see a tough travel schedule if they do make the playoffs, flying into Atlanta on Monday and then flying to Milwaukee or the West Coast for a first-round matchup that would start on Tuesday.
Several NCAA Football games could be <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/09/24/hurricane-helene-college-football-schedule-impact/75369720007/">impacted </a>by the hurricane over the weekend. The Miami Hurricanes&#8217; home game on Friday could be postponed. UCF&#8217;s home game on Saturday will also be monitored. The highly anticipated Alabama and Georgia game set to play in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Saturday could also be impacted by heavy rain and winds.
The National Football League is also monitoring the storm and its impact on games scheduled for Sunday and Monday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers are currently set to host home games at 1 p.m. ET Sunday. The Miami Dolphins host a Monday Night Football game that is also being monitored.

Tropical Storm Helene is forecasted to turn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40259269/storm-debby-headed-for-nyc-highly-populated-areas-as-catastrophic-flooding-persists">into a hurricane</a> as it makes landfall over Florida on Thursday.
The storm was located about 60 miles northeast of Cozumel, Mexico, Wednesday morning, moving northwest at 9 mph with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The storm is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it passes over the Gulf of Mexico&#8217;s eastern coast later Wednesday and into Thursday and reaches the Big Bend of Florida late Thursday.
The NWS has already issued a tropical storm warning for all of the Florida Keys, the state&#8217;s west coast from Flamingo to Anclote River, including Tampa Bay, and the Florida east coast from Flamingo northward to Altamaha Sound, Georgia.

Helene is forecasted to produce 5 to 10 inches of rain, with isolated totals of 15 inches over the southeastern U.S. This will likely result in considerable urban and flash flooding and significant river flooding. It may also cause landslides in steep terrain areas in the southern Appalachians.
Helene is also expected to bring 4 to 8 inches of rain to Cuba, the Cayman Islands and the northern Yucatan Peninsula before reaching the U.S.
Price Action: The approaching storm has impacted stocks of generator producers, retailers, and utility companies with a presence or a subsidiary in Florida.

Tropical Storm Helene Set To Become Hurricane: Generac, Duke Energy Stocks React As Florida Braces

Last month, Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) reported mixed results for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40489599/lowes-q2-earnings-reflect-pro-strength-diy-weakness-analysts-say-how-retailer-stack">its fiscal second quarter</a>.
According to Oppenheimer, the Federal Reserve's previous easing cycles suggest that demand in the home improvement sector tends to improve, though there is a "potentially substantial lag."
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ac4af2b85e930001e6383b/brian-nagel">Analyst Brian Nagel</a> upgraded Lowe&#8217;s Companies&#8217; rating from Perform to Outperform and raised the price target from $230 to $305.
The Lowe&#8217;s Companies Thesis: As lending rates moderate, there is stronger demand for home-related items, which points towards strengthening sales at the company beginning later in 2025, Nagel said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Lowe's comp store sales are likely to remain negative through the first half of 2025, "reflecting continued, post-pandemic demand dislocations in the sector and potentially delayed benefits of moderating rates," the analyst said.
"Our interpretation of market sentiment suggests that investors are apt to increasingly &#8216;look through&#8217; nearer-term fundamental weakness at the chains" and could have a longer-term approach for the shares of Lowe's and Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>).
LOW Price Action: Shares of Lowe&#8217;s Companies were up 0.63% to $263.94 at the time of publication Tuesday.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The three major averages posted weekly gains, with the S&amp;P 500 rising 1.36% and up over 19% for 2024, while the Dow gained 1.62% and the Nasdaq advanced 1.49%. 
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September, surprising many economists who expected a smaller 25-basis-point reduction. 
Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the need to act early to support the labor market, noting that strong employment requires proactive measures. While hinting at potential future cuts, Powell framed this move as a recalibration rather than a broader policy shift, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h">stressing data-driven decision-making.</a>
