Thursday, September 23, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 162.00 0.47% 34,291 S&P 500 23.25 0.53% 4,407 Nasdaq 83.50 0.55% 15,247 U.S. stocks are looking at another move higher following strong gains on Wednesday despite the FOMC taking a more “hawkish” stance on both rates and the timeline on asset purchase tapering during yesterday’s meeting. Stocks jumped on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve cleared the way to ease monthly bond purchases “soon” and signaled interest rate increases may follow more quickly than expected. Stocks pared gains late as Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke at his press conference but still closed up solidly. Fed officials indicated that they see interest rates seen rising to 1% in 2023, faster than projected by the Fed in its projections in June, and then to 1.8% in 2024. Nine of eleven major S&P 500 sectors ended the day higher. However, of note, all 11 groups retreated from the moments before Powell’s press conference began, into the close. The Dow Transport index slid to 6-month lows following weakness from Fed-Ex (FDX) earnings results and guidance the night prior. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index was closed, the Shanghai Index rose 13 points to 3,642 and the Hang Seng Index gained 289 points to 24,510. In Europe, the German DAX is up over 130 points (0.89%) to 15,645, while the FTSE 100 rises about 20-points to move above 7,100. Oil prices are slipping but still holds near two-month high with global stockpiles tightening. In China news, the WSJ reported China is preparing for the “demise” of Evergrande, signaling Beijing’s reluctance to get involved and bail out the company.

Any opinion for $LHX for tomorrow

any opinion on LHX

What we have in $LHX for next week , look like will jump heavy to 180

$LHX might be in vogue again with the Cathie Space ETF news, tons of space contracts

lhx and rol too, like those two

$LHX We keep our target price at $232, 16x our 2022 EPS estimate (started at $14.67; 2021 raised to $13.10 from $12.87; 2020 unchanged). Q3 adjusted EPS of $2.84 vs. $2.58 beat consensus by $0.10. With Q3 EPS up 10% YoY, LHX earnings are not behaving as one might expect for a stock that is down 20% year-to-date. We think the depressed share price is mostly due to investor fear of cuts to Defense spending following the 2020 election. But we expect strong long-term EPS growth for LHX regardless of which party controls Washington, as LHX's focus areas of space, aviation, and intelligence technology are high priorities for U.S. and allied militaries, and thus likely to garner increased funding even if overall Defense budgets are reduced, in our view. We forecast 2020 free cash flow of $2.7B, yielding 8% on market cap vs. around 3% for the S&P 500. Given healthy long-term growth prospects, we think LHX should trade at a premium to the S&P, not a steep discount, leading us to lift our rating to Strong Buy.
