<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Maintains Outperform on Progressive, Raises Price Target to $275

August saw the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40648231/wall-street-poised-for-strong-start-as-inflation-data-looms-strategist-says-brace-for-volatile-fall">equity market make good the losses</a> it experienced post its mid-July peak, with earnings and benign data helping the fightback. With August in the rearview mirror, here&#8217;s a look at the leaders and laggards among the S&amp;P 500 Index, a broader gauge of market performance.
3-Part Trend: The month&#8217;s trading could be characterized as a tale of three trends. Stocks extended the weakness into August, with the S&amp;P 500 bottoming on Aug. 5, coinciding with the collapse of the global equity markets. The unwinding of the yen carry trades due to the yen&#8217;s strength perked up risk aversion, sending Japanese stocks into a tailspin, and the reverberations became evident elsewhere.
The S&amp;P 500 Index fell 4.3% intraday on Aug. 5, which happened to be a Monday. The collapse was promptly dubbed Black Monday 2.0 to differentiate it from the Black Monday crash of Oct. 1987. The CBOE Volatility Index, commonly called VIX, more than doubled to 65.73 intraday before pulling back. 
On a positive note, the S&amp;P 500 closed off the lows of the day and was down a more modest 3% by the close.
The market saw a steady recovery from the low through Aug. 22, thanks to a slew of catalysts that reinforced expectations that the Federal Open Market Committee would begin cutting rates at its September meeting.
The strong and rapid recovery pushed traders on the defensive, and the market has been moving sideways since then.

The Leaders: None of the Magnificent seven stocks, which have been spearheading the broader market uptrend since the start of the 2023, made it to the list of the top 10 gainers. The list featured two cybersecurity companies, namely CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) and Fortinet, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>). CrowdStrike was rebounding from its global-outage-induced slump seen since July 19. 
Fortinet was helped by a strong post-earnings rally.
Two household and personal care products companies also made the cut, while a management change did the truck for coffee chain Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>).
The top 10 gainers for the month are:
<ul>
<li>Packaged food company Kellanova&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/K#NYSE">K</a>) (+38.62%) (upside primarily due to the rumors of a buyout by privately-held Mars and the subsequent confirmation of the deal)</li>
<li>Fortinet (+32.17%)</li>
<li>Starbucks (+26.52%)</li>
<li>Axon Enterprise, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>) (+21.65%); Much of the gains stemmed from a post-earnings bump seen on Aug.7)</li>
<li>Clorox Company&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLX#NYSE">CLX</a>) (+21.02%)</li>
<li>CrowdStrike (+19.54%)</li>
<li>Kenvue Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KVUE#NYSE">KVUE</a>) (+19.88%)</li>
<li>Best Buy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) (+16.04%)</li>
<li>Arch Capital Group Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACGL#NYSE">ACGL</a>) (+18.07%)</li>
<li>Progressive Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>) (+17.78%)</li>
</ul>
The Laggards: Artificial intelligence server manufacturer Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), which had a dream run after its inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 Index, plummeted following a short report and the delay flagged by the company in filing its 10-K report. Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), which is fraught with fundamental risk, was also one of the worst performers for the month.
A few retailers ended up in the list of the top 10 S&amp;P 500 decliners for August.
The top 10 losers for the month are:
<ul>
<li>Super Micro (-37.62%)</li>
<li>Moderna, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) (-35.08%)</li>
<li>Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) (-31.08%)</li>
<li>Intel (-27.86%)</li>
<li>Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) (-20.19%)</li>
<li>Dollar Tree, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) (-19.02%)</li>
<li>Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRL#NYSE">CRL</a>) (-18.99%)</li>
<li>Airbnb, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>) (-15.94)</li>
<li>Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) (-15.80%)</li>
<li>Etsy, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) (-15.43%)</li>
</ul>
Earnings reactions triggered the weakness seen in some of these stocks, including Intel, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40139012/moderna-stock-trading-lower-on-dismal-guidance-analysts-cuts-price-targets-noting-c">Moderna, which reduced its full-year forecast.</a>
With the Fed all but decided on a September rate cut, some of these beaten-down stocks, especially those in the retail space, could stage a turnaround. 
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, ended Friday&#8217;s session up 0.95% at $563.68, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

8월에는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40648231/wall-street-poised-for-strong-start-as-inflation-data-looms-strategist-says-brace-for-volatile-fall">주식 시장이</a> 7월 중순 정점 이후 겪은 손실을 만회했으며, 이는 실적과 양호한 데이터가 반등에 도움이 되었다. 8월을 뒤로 보내면서 시장 성과를 더욱 폭넓게 측정하는 S&amp;P 500 지수의 상승주와 하락주를 살펴보겠다.
세 가지 추세: 이번 달의 거래는 세 가지 추세로 특징지어질 수 있다. 주식은 8월까지 약세를 이어갔고, S&amp;P 500은 글로벌 주식 시장의 붕괴와 동시에 8월 5일에 바닥을 쳤다. 엔화 강세로 인한 엔캐리 트레이드의 청산은 위험 회피를 부추겨 일본 증시를 급락시켰고 그 반향은 다른 곳에서도 뚜렷이 드러났다.
S&amp;P 500 지수는 공교롭게도 월요일이었던 8월 5일 장중 4.3% 하락했다. 이 붕괴는 1987년 10월의 블랙 먼데이 붕괴와 구별하기 위해 즉시 블랙 먼데이 2.0으로 명명되었다. 일반적으로 VIX라고 불리는 CBOE 변동성 지수는 하락하기 전 장중 65.73으로 두 배 이상 상승했다.
긍정적인 점은 S&amp;P 500이 오늘의 저점을 마감했고 종가까지 3% 정도 하락했다는 것이다.
연방공개시장위원회(FOMC)가 9월 회의에서 금리 인하를 시작할 것이라는 기대감을 강화한 수많은 촉매제 덕분에 시장은 8월 22일까지 저점에서 꾸준히 회복세를 보였다.
강력하고 빠른 회복으로 인해 트레이더들은 방어적인 태도를 취하게 되었고, 그 이후로 시장은 횡보세로 전환되었다.

8월 S&amp;P 500 지수는 2.28% 상승해 5,648.40으로 한 달을 마감했다. 이는 7월 16일 기록적인 종가인 5,667.20에서 조금 떨어진 수준이다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-growth-stocks">현재 최고의 성장주</a>

포티넷은 실적 발표 후 강력한 반등으로 도움을 받았다.
두 개의 가정용 및 개인 관리 제품 회사들도 포함되었으며, 커피 체인 스타벅스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>)는 경영 변화로 주가가 상승했다.

<li>프로그레시브 손해보험사(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>) (+17.78%)</li>
</ul>
하락 주식들: S&amp;P 500 지수에 편입된 후 꿈을 꾸었던 인공 지능 서버 제조업체 슈퍼 마이크로 컴퓨터(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>)는 공매도 보고서와 회사의 10-K 보고서 제출 지연으로 인해 급락했다. 펀더멘털 리스크를 안고 있는 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)도 이번 달 최악의 실적을 거뒀다.
몇몇 소매업체들이 8월 S&amp;P 500 하락주 10개 목록에 포함되었다.
8월의 하락 주식 10개는 다음과 같다:
<ul>
<li>슈퍼 마이크로(-37.62%)</li>
<li>모더나(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) (-35.08%)</li>

<li>엣시(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) (-15.43%)</li>
</ul>
실적 반응으로 인해 인텔 및 모더나를 포함한 일부 주식에서 나타난 약세가 촉발되어 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40139012/moderna-stock-trading-lower-on-dismal-guidance-analysts-cuts-price-targets-noting-c">연간 전망을</a> 낮췄다.
연방준비제도(연준)가 9월 금리 인하를 거의 결정함에 따라 이러한 하락세를 보인 주식 중 일부, 특히 소매관련 주식이 반등할 수 있다.
<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro 데이터</a>에 따르면, S&amp;P 500 지수를 추적하는 상장지수펀드인 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)는 금요일 0.95% 상승한 563.68달러로 마감했다.

8월 S&P 500의 상위 상승주와 하락주: 매그 7종목은 빠지고, 사이버 보안 2종목 포함

2분기 실적 시즌은 이번 주 목요일에 펩시코(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), 프로그레시브(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>) 및 델타 항공(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)의 주요 보고서로 시작되며 이어서 JP모건 체이스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), 씨티그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), 웰스파고(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) 등 주요 은행들이 금요일에 이어진다.
골드만삭스 주식 분석가들은 7월에 자주 사전 발표하고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">조기 결과 발표</a> 이력이 있는 25개 주식을 조사한 후 다가오는 실적 시즌에 대한 4가지 옵션 거래 권장 사항을 식별했다.
역사적으로 7월은 지난 13년 동안 전체 사전 발표의 약 8%를 차지했으며, 특히 TMT(기술, 미디어, 통신), 의료 및 임의 업종에 집중되어 7월 사전 발표(preannouncements)의 약 50%를 차지했다.
주식 분석가인 존 마샬(John Marshall)은 &#8220;사전 발표는 일반적으로 계획된 이벤트가 아니지만, 분기 마감 이후 기간에 예정된 이벤트가 있는 경우 회사는 사전 발표할 가능성이 더 높다&#8221;라고 썼다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) 스타벅스 콜 옵션</h3>
골드만삭스의 아메리카 레스토랑 분석가인 크리스틴 조(Christine Cho)는 8월 9일에 만료되는 스타벅스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) 콜 옵션을 행사가 77달러로 구매할 것을 권장한다.
조는 트래픽, 앱 사용량, 순구매의향(NPI)의 개선을 나타내는 최근 빈도 데이터로 인해 낙관적이다. 그녀는 이 회사의 주요 이니셔티브가 향후 분기에도 이러한 추진력을 유지할 수 있다고 믿고 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2) 치폴레 스트래들 옵션</h3>
조는 이번 실적 발표를 앞두고 치폴레(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>)의 스트래들 옵션 구매도 권장한다.
스트래들 옵션 구매는 투자자가 동일한 기초 자산에 대해 행사 가격과 만료일이 동일한 콜 옵션과 풋 옵션을 모두 구매하는 거래 전략이다.
조는 더 높은 처리량과 일관된 제품 실행으로 인해 이 회사의 장기적인 매출 및 수익 모멘텀을 확신하지만, 부분 크기 감소에 대한 부정적인 정서로 인해 단기적인 변동성은 예상된다.
조에 따르면, 투자자들은 치폴레 7월 26일 만기 주간 62달러 스트래들 옵션 구매를 고려해야 한다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3) 웰스파고 콜 옵션</h3>
골드만삭스의 은행 분석가 리처드 램스덴(Richard Ramsden)은 2분기 실적 발표를 앞두고 웰스파고 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>)를 매수할 것을 권장한다.
램스덴은 대출 및 예금 성장 가속화와 자산 한도 제한 해제 가능성으로 인해 이 은행의 2024년 순이자소득(NII) 지침 및 수익이 상승할 가능성이 있다고 예상한다.
더욱이, 6월의 2024년 스트레스 테스트 결과에 이어 웰스 파고는 전년 대비 14%의 배당금 증가를 발표하여 합의된 기대치를 뛰어넘고 동종 업체들에 비해 가장 큰 순위를 차지했다.
램스덴은 행사 가격이 61달러인 7월 24일자 만기 콜 옵션을 살 것을 권고합니다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4) 신타스 스트래들 옵션</h3>
골드만삭스의 정보 및 비즈니스 서비스 분석가인 조지 K. 통(George K. Tong)은 최근 설문 조사 결과를 바탕으로 신타스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTAS#NASDAQ">CTAS</a>)의 매출 성장 둔화 가능성을 확인했다.
그는 이 회사가 2025 회계연도 지침을 제공할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 향후 매출에 변동성이 있을 것으로 예상한다.
단기적인 성장 과제에도 불구하고 통은 이 회사가 유리한 가격 추세를 활용하고 강력한 고객 유지율을 유지하며 미개척 시장에 효과적으로 침투할 수 있는 좋은 위치에 있다고 믿고 있다.
통은 신타스의 7월 24일 만기 700달러 스트래들을 권장한다. 신타스는 7월 18일 회계연도 4분기 실적을 보고할 예정이다.
