About Argus Research Corporation
Argus Research is a leading independent investment research organization providing quality research since 1934. Argus analysts, economists, and portfolio strategists forecast and monitor economic trends, analyze industries, and issue recommendations (buy, hold or sell) on a universe of 500 stocks. Each Argus rating must have a clear, reasonable, and adequate basis. The process starts with the analyst's application of our rigorous six-point system which includes meetings with senior managers. This methodology combined with our independence enables us to develop ideas which are then communicated in a straight forward manner to our clients, making them compete effectively in the marketplace.

Two giants are reporting earnings this week: Nvidia Corp. (NVDA), providing a benchmark for the growth of AI, and Walmart Inc. (WMT), shining light on the health of the consumer. The economic calendar is light, summarizes John Eade, president of Argus Research.
Since 1960, stocks have shown positive annual performances almost 75% of the time. The average annual gain is 11%, with a standard deviation of 17%. By these numbers, 2024 is a good-but-not-yet exceptional year. Meanwhile, we have raised our rating on Baker Hughes Co. (BKR) to “Buy,” advises John Eade, president of Argus Research.
The third-quarter earnings floodgates open this week, despite Monday being a partial holiday (with the bond markets closed). Wall Street will also be focused on retail sales data, looking for updates on consumer spending, writes John Eade, president of Argus Research.
In early September, the Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.25%, the third consecutive drop since June. As the central bank pursues a more-accommodative stance with interest rates, we believe that select Canadian companies offer investment opportunities. One is Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CP), advises John Eade, president of Argus Research.
