Good morning Wake-up Watchlisters! While you're sipping coffee you'll see stock futures were little changed on Thursday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower on Wednesday, primarily due to rising U.S. bond yields following a surprise interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada. Analysts believe the Fed will likely pause in June but remain open to a potential rate hike in July, depending on economic data. As the peak rally from AI in May continues to die down, now's a good time to focus on value stocks that can withstand market headwinds. Right now our Head Fundamental Tactician Karim Rahemtulla is pounding the table on what he's calling "The Last Great Value Stock." This company has already seen a 71% rise since the start of 2023, and there's reason to believe it has more room to grow. Click here to unlock this under $2 value stock. Here's a look at the top-moving stocks this morning. Gamestop (NYSE: GME) Gamestop is down 18.61% premarket, marking its worst session in two years. This decline was triggered by the unexpected departure of a CEO who was specifically chosen to lead the company's online expansion. Ryan Cohen, the founder of Chewy and a favorite among "meme stock" traders, assumed the position of executive chairman, but no new CEO was named to replace the former Amazon.com executive, Matt Furlong. With limited investor communication, a lack of consistent strategic vision, and no earnings call, analysts find it challenging to form a firm opinion on the situation. One notable observation is the frequent turnover in GameStop's leadership, with five CEOs and three CFOs in the past five years. Smartsheet Inc. (NYSE: SMAR) Smartsheet is down 17.88% premarket. Smartsheet, an enterprise software firm, surpassed Wall Street's expectations for its fiscal first quarter but fell short in terms of its sales outlook. Following the announcement, SMAR stock experienced a significant decline in extended trading. The company reported adjusted earnings of 18 cents per share on sales of $219.9 million for the quarter ended April 30, surpassing analysts' anticipated earnings of 8 cents per share on sales of $214.1 million. Despite a grim market in May where many stocks were down, we went gangbusters in The War Room. 35 of our 39 trades finished in the green, highlighted by a 293.27% gain on Advanced Auto Parts in one trading day. We ended the month with a stunning weighted average return of 24.43% and 113% average gain overall. What are you waiting for? Click here to join The War Room. |
