10 things to watch in the stock market Friday including a bullish call on Best Buy


10 things to watch Friday, Sept. 27

1. The S&P 500 was looking at a slightly higher open Friday after another record high close. The 10-year Treasury yield was finally lower following a tame August reading on the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge, the PCE price index. With just a couple trading days left in what’s historically the worst month of year, the S&P 500 was heading for its first September gain in five years.

2. Club holding Costco shares were a tad lower after a solid fiscal 2024 fourth-quarter earnings report Thursday night. The wholesale retailer’s long-awaited membership fee increase, which took effect Sept. 1, will have a limited impact until the back of its fiscal 2025 and into fiscal 2026, executives said. We raised our price target on the stock.

3. Best Buy was added to JPMorgan’s analyst focus list after a meeting with the electronics and appliance retailer’s management team. The analysts, who reiterated their $111 price target, called Best Buy a “value idea” to take advantage of the computing replacement cycle along with TV and appliance sales growth as existing home sales improve. That closely mirrors the Club’s investment thesis.
