The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":35,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375174326,"gmtCreate":1619319751465,"gmtModify":1704722389566,"author":{"id":"3582378748576873","authorId":"3582378748576873","name":"thks","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582378748576873","authorIdStr":"3582378748576873"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Latest","listText":"Latest","text":"Latest","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375174326","repostId":"1186653085","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1186653085","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619318922,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1186653085?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-25 10:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"8 Hot, A-Rated Small-Cap Stocks to Buy Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1186653085","media":"investorplace","summary":"It seems the biggest concern the markets have at this point is that everyone agrees that we’re at th","content":"<p>It seems the biggest concern the markets have at this point is that everyone agrees that we’re at the beginning of a big post-pandemic economic expansion.

And with soccer, basketball, baseball and other sports back on the table for kids and adults, sporting goods stores should expect a big run.</p><p>BGFV has been in the sporting goods business since 1955. It now has around 430 stores in the West and Southwest markets. That stock has done very well in the past year but it’s still a bargain.</p><p>Currently, it’s up 64% year to date, yet it has a current P/E below 7x and it delivers a 3.5% dividend.

That means it knows its business and manages it prudently, which is a nice idea in a wild market like this one.</p><p>Plus, with $11 billion in assets under management, it has chosen to remain a boutique firm (and a small-cap stock) and stay true to its principles rather than grow wildly and take on more risk to do it. Yet COWN stock is up 50% year to date, distributes a 0.8% dividend and has a current P/E below 6x.</p><p>Harbor One Bancorp (HONE)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8974de8c902578efd435d0f3a2220acd\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Syda Productions / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Also doing business for more than a century, HONE is a Massachusetts-based bank that has operations in neighboring Rhode Island, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Maine as well.</p><p>It has about $4 billion in assets under management and the stock continues to perform well.

Remember, Cape Cod is a very hot spot for summer travel and this year it’s likely to be back to business as usual.</p><p>With a market cap of $824 million, it’s a decent sized small-cap stock, but it has got plenty of headroom. In fact, HONE stock is up 10% year to date, with a current P/E of 17x.

A new generation of shoppers are looking at furniture differently than older demographics have.</p><p>First and foremost is utility. No more special rooms where the furniture is only for guests. Or “nice” pieces perennially covered in plastic or some other protective gear. Furniture is for living. And LOVE embodies that zeitgeist.</p><p>LOVE specializes in modular sectional furniture that can be more than a sofa. And it’s modular so you can keep it small in an apartment and then add pieces if you move to a house. It’s flexible and adjusts to your lifestyle, perfect for young families and Gen X couples and singles.</p><p>It has been around since the 1990s, but really took off a few years ago, as retail stores began to open around the U.S. The coronavirus pandemic slowed that aspect of its business, but low interest rates mean home improvements will bring back lots of customers.</p><p>LOVE is up 70% year to date and it’s in a growth phase. That means expansion, same store sales and revenue are the key numbers to watch moving forward. That (along with everything else mentioned above) also means it’s one of the small-cap stocks you should have on your radar.</p><p>B Riley (RILY)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ed527209307462f4861bea33609efe7\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.com</p><p>With just 11 years under its belt, this financial services and solutions company for public and private companies has made a name for itself on a number of different levels.</p><p>It currently has a $1.8 billion market cap, which puts it on the upper tier of small-cap stocks, but much of that has been built during the past year as its services have been recognized as ideal complements to current market conditions.</p><p>RILY has traditional corporate financial services and it also offers bankruptcy workouts, as well as an auction business.

And if that’s the case, then one of the best ways to get involved in a growing market is with small-cap stocks.They’re the best performing tier of stocks when economic growth is rising, since they have more ability to grow and grow quickly.As you’re well aware, the markets love to see big growth numbers. And since small stocks are starting at a smaller base, their growth can seem much greater than bigger established companies.Plus, all that new capital means the businesses can put more money into expanding their territory and staying competitive. This kind of market also brings in potential suitors before the stocks get too expensive.The eight small-cap stocks to buy now I’ve assembled are great picks on their own or may be taken out at a big premium. Oh, and each has an overall Portfolio Grader rating of ‘A.’Aviat Networks(NASDAQ:AVNW)Big 5 Sporting Goods(NASDAQ:BGFV)Cowen(NASDAQ:COWN)Harbor One Bancorp(NYSE:HONE)Lovesac(NASDAQ:LOVE)Riley(NASDAQ:RILY)Schnitzer Steel(NASDAQ:SCHN)Container Store Group(NYSE:TCS)Small-Cap Stocks to Buy: Aviat Networks (AVNW)Source: ShutterstockIf you design and make wireless telecom equipment, you’re in a pretty good spot right now. 5G technology is replacing the 4G equipment and 5G is a completely different standard, with new antennas and distribution networks.What’s more, with a massive infrastructure spending bill making its way through Congress, 5G firms are certain to be beneficiaries.That’s good news for AVNW, since that’s precisely the business this small-cap stock is in. And with a market cap of $333 million it has plenty of room to grow or get bought out by a bigger integrated player.Even after a 70% run year to date, AVNW stock is only trading at a current price-to-earnings ratio of 23x.Big 5 Sporting Goods (BGFV)Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.comAs the pandemic slows in the U.S., sporting activities are expanding from socially distant sports to socially engaged sports. And with soccer, basketball, baseball and other sports back on the table for kids and adults, sporting goods stores should expect a big run.BGFV has been in the sporting goods business since 1955. It now has around 430 stores in the West and Southwest markets. That stock has done very well in the past year but it’s still a bargain.Currently, it’s up 64% year to date, yet it has a current P/E below 7x and it delivers a 3.5% dividend. Now that’s a winning combination.Small-Cap Stocks to Buy: Cowen (COWN)Source: ShutterstockIt may not have the cachet that Robinhood garners today, but Cowen is a financial services company that has been around since the last pandemic hit in 1918.Starting as a bond trading house, over the years it expanded and has endured the Great Depression, and everything else that has happened in the past 100-plus years. That means it knows its business and manages it prudently, which is a nice idea in a wild market like this one.Plus, with $11 billion in assets under management, it has chosen to remain a boutique firm (and a small-cap stock) and stay true to its principles rather than grow wildly and take on more risk to do it. Yet COWN stock is up 50% year to date, distributes a 0.8% dividend and has a current P/E below 6x.Harbor One Bancorp (HONE)Source: Syda Productions / Shutterstock.comAlso doing business for more than a century, HONE is a Massachusetts-based bank that has operations in neighboring Rhode Island, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Maine as well.It has about $4 billion in assets under management and the stock continues to perform well. As a long-time lender for commercial businesses as well as its strong presence in the mortgage lending market, HONE is performing well in the current environment. Remember, Cape Cod is a very hot spot for summer travel and this year it’s likely to be back to business as usual.With a market cap of $824 million, it’s a decent sized small-cap stock, but it has got plenty of headroom. In fact, HONE stock is up 10% year to date, with a current P/E of 17x. And it has a money market-beating dividend of 1.4%.Small-Cap Stocks to Buy: Lovesac (LOVE)Source: BCFC / Shutterstock.comIn case you haven’t been out in the furniture market in a while, it has changed a lot. A new generation of shoppers are looking at furniture differently than older demographics have.First and foremost is utility. No more special rooms where the furniture is only for guests. Or “nice” pieces perennially covered in plastic or some other protective gear. Furniture is for living. And LOVE embodies that zeitgeist.LOVE specializes in modular sectional furniture that can be more than a sofa. And it’s modular so you can keep it small in an apartment and then add pieces if you move to a house. It’s flexible and adjusts to your lifestyle, perfect for young families and Gen X couples and singles.It has been around since the 1990s, but really took off a few years ago, as retail stores began to open around the U.S. The coronavirus pandemic slowed that aspect of its business, but low interest rates mean home improvements will bring back lots of customers.LOVE is up 70% year to date and it’s in a growth phase. That means expansion, same store sales and revenue are the key numbers to watch moving forward. That (along with everything else mentioned above) also means it’s one of the small-cap stocks you should have on your radar.B Riley (RILY)Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.comWith just 11 years under its belt, this financial services and solutions company for public and private companies has made a name for itself on a number of different levels.It currently has a $1.8 billion market cap, which puts it on the upper tier of small-cap stocks, but much of that has been built during the past year as its services have been recognized as ideal complements to current market conditions.RILY has traditional corporate financial services and it also offers bankruptcy workouts, as well as an auction business. These services are very beneficial in a market that’s either starting to expand or contract.RILY stock is up 60% year to date, has a 2.5% dividend and a current P/E around 9x.Small-Cap Stocks to Buy: Schnitzer Steel (SCHN)Source: ShutterstockLaunched in Portland, Oregon in 1906, SCHN is a steel and metal recycler that operates for both the domestic U.S. market. Given its Pacific location, it also provides scrap and recycled metals to overseas markets as well.In an expanding economy, steel prices rise along with other industrial metals, so recycled steel can be a way to save money on production costs, depending upon what companies are manufacturing. That makes now a growth market for SCHN.With a market cap around $1.2 billion, SCHN has built a solid niche and is happy to make money doing what it does. SCHN stock is up 30% year to date, with a P/E of 21x and shares a 1.7% dividend.Container Store Group (TCS)Source: Eric Glenn / Shutterstock.comBest known for its “The Container Store” brand, TCS also markets Swedish Elfa brand shelving solutions to a number of different home goods and home improvement stores around North America.TCS was certainly a winner during the pandemic as lockdowns and social distancing meant people had the time and means to upgrade their homes, including decluttering, reorganizing and upgrading.And now that the economy is opening up, there’s even more opportunity for TCS as home sales peak season gets underway and people will begin entertaining again. TCS stock is up 54% year to date yet has a current P/E under 21x. And with a market cap of $759 million, it’s in the sweet spot for small-cap stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":375800023,"gmtCreate":1619319911862,"gmtModify":1704722391685,"author":{"id":"3582378748576873","authorId":"3582378748576873","name":"thks","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582378748576873","authorIdStr":"3582378748576873"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like & comment thks","listText":"Like & comment thks","text":"Like & comment thks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375800023","repostId":"1184404050","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184404050","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619319329,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1184404050?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-25 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What to watch in the markets this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184404050","media":"CNBC","summary":"The last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House.Big Tech is a highlight of the earnings calendar, with Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet all releasing results.The Fed is not expected to take any action, but economists expect it to defend its policy to let inflation run hot.There is some key data including first-quarter gross domestic product a","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/taxes-and-inflation-will-be-key-themes-for-markets-in-the-week-ahead.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992.
