THE MIDDAY TRADE
Q3 Catalysts
As we move into the second half of 2024, Wells Fargo’s (WFC) equity analysts have unveiled some tactical stock picks that could benefit investors. The bank believes it has identified 8 stocks poised for short-term share price growth.
It did so by searching for stocks that its analysts view as both overweight and have positive catalysts in Q3.
Capital One
Credit card giant Capital One (COF) made the list as its proposed merger with Discover (DFS) continues to play out. Should the merger go through, Capital One could experience major growth this quarter.
Additionally, data is showing that low-income credit card holders are shaping up to be more financially resilient than previously believed. That previous concern has caused the stock to underperform the S&P YTD, but that could change quickly.
Algonquin Power & Utilities
According to the bank, the stock’s current price reflects that renewables will not be very valuable, but Wells Fargo disagrees, thinking it could bring in $2.4 billion. The funds could be used for a share buyback program, boosting the stock price.
2024 has been a strong year for the market thus far, and these stocks could help investors continue that trend.

SURVEY THE STREET
Data released last week showed cracks in the US labor market:
Unemployment climbed to 4.1% (the highest level since Oct. 2021).
Wage growth slowed to 3.9% for the last 12 months ending in June (the smallest gain since Aug. 2021).
This revealed weakness in the job market, which could force the Fed’s hand to cut rates sooner than expected…
