Argus Research Corporation's Articles
Equity investors enjoyed the first half of 2024, as the S&P 500 logged a double-digit gain. Historically, that type of performance has been a precursor to further increases in stocks by the end of the year. Meanwhile, NetApp Inc. (NTAP) recently conducted its annual investor meeting in New York. The company provided several encouraging three-year growth targets there, writes John Eade, president of Argus Research.
May started strong and, after some wavering toward month-end, finished with a flourish, including the best stock week in 2024 to date. We are encouraged by the double-digit stock-market gain as of end-of-May – usually a reliable portent of a full-year, double-digit gain. Meanwhile, energy looks more attractive here, writes John Eade, president of Argus Research.
Jobs data is out this week. Economists and the Fed will be looking to see if the labor market is slowing, given the longer period of elevated interest rates. The earnings calendar is light, though there are some late stragglers, advises John Eade, president of Argus Research.

ECONOMICS
Since the early part of 2023, the three “E’s” of employment, economy, and earnings have all been rising, superseding concerns about the two “I’s” of inflation and interest rates. But one concerning and underreported feature of the current environment is the vicious cycle composed of the housing industry, interest and mortgage rates, rents, and Federal Reserve policy, writes John Eade, president of Argus Research.
