If You Invested $100 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

On Thursday, JP Morgan analyst Cory Carpenter highlighted its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/video-games" rel="noreferrer noopener">video game top picks</a>, including Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) (Overweight rating with $225 price target), Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) (Overweight rating with $75 price target), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>) (Neutral rating) and Playstudios (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MYPS#NASDAQ">MYPS</a>) (Underweight rating).
Carpenter noted Take-Two Interactive as the top pick riding the Grand Theft Auto VI Wave, with improved NBA 2K &amp; Zynga performance.
The analyst remarked that the strongest-ever game pipeline in 2025 (GTA VI (Fall), Borderlands 4, Mafia: The Old Country (Summer), and Civilization 7) followed years of heavy investment.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43533402/roblox-q4-earnings-topline-and-user-growth-miss-estimates-fy25-outlook-lags-stock-slides" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roblox Q4 Earnings: Topline And User Growth Miss Estimates, FY25 Outlook Lags, Stock Slides</a>
Carpenter said GTA VI&#8217;s success likely drives estimates and multiples higher, with the potential for a higher unit price (&gt;$70).
The analyst believes Zynga&#8217;s transition to AppLovin Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) MAX mediation platform could be an underappreciated tailwind.
He highlighted Color Block Jam&#8217;s early momentum and Empires &amp; Puzzles&#8217; stability in the mobile gaming segment.
According to the analyst, cost efficiency initiatives like Chartboost &amp; Private Division divestitures and 5% downsizing in April 2024 should maximize leverage around core title releases.
For Electronic Arts, Carpenter highlighted FC trends, Battlefield launch timing, and Bookings&#8217; return to growth.
For Roblox, the analyst anticipated Bookings growth of 20%+, DAUs after a fourth-quarter slowdown, and Ads/commerce ramping.
For Playstudios, Carpenter focused on Sweepstakes initiatives, the New Tetris title launch, and Core game stability.
Carpenter projected fiscal 2025 revenue growth of 20% for Roblox, 3% for Electronic Arts, and 46% for Take-Two Interactive. The analyst projected a 10% decline for PlayStudios in the fiscal year.
Carpenter projected a fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% for Roblox, 32% for Electronic Arts, 23% for Take-Two Interactive, and 19% for PlayStudios.

Take-Two Interactive's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

What Drove Markets Last Week
Beginning with the mega-cap tech earnings last week, companies including Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), fell short of lofty expectations, weighing on markets despite support from Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and financial sector stocks. 
On the economic front, January's job report was a mixed bag. Nonfarm payrolls rose just 143,000—far below December's 307,000 and short of economists' 170,000 estimate. Yet, the unemployment rate dipped, and wages climbed faster than expected.
A warning sign popped up Friday when the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index unexpectedly dropped. The survey showed consumer sentiment falling to 67.8, with inflation expectations rising to 4.3%—the highest since late 2023. The report linked this unease to higher tariffs under the Trump administration.
Gold surged to record highs, topping $2,850 per ounce, as investors sought safety amid inflation worries and policy uncertainty. This marks its sixth straight week of gains, reinforcing its safe-haven status.
Meanwhile, Ford's stock slid to its lowest level since early 2021 despite an earnings beat. Its weak 2025 outlook and projected $5 billion to $5.5 billion EV losses raised fresh concerns about profitability and competition in the electric vehicle market.

There are a lot of old expressions on Wall Street. Some are worth paying attention to. One is &#8220;sell at former peaks.&#8221;
This refers to how stocks tend to run into resistance if they reach a price that had previously been a peak. As you can see on the chart below, Take-Two formed a peak in February 2021. It is getting close to that level once again and may soon encounter resistance.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="548" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-1024x548.png" alt="" class="wp-image-772434" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-1024x548.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-300x160.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-768x411.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113.png 1528w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

There can be resistance at former tops or peaks because of investment psychology.
Some people who bought at the top still hold their shares and have been looking at losses ever since. If they finally get back to around $215, many of these remorseful buyers will place sell orders so they can get out of their positions at breakeven.
If there is a large concentration of these sell orders, it could form resistance at the same price that had been a peak before. If some of these sellers start to undercut each other, it could result in a new downtrend forming.
Another popular expression is ‘the market has a memory'. This refers to how a price level that is important can retain its importance for a long time.
It could be weeks, months, or even years. This means that even though the peak around $215.00 occurred 5 years ago, the level may still be important.
A further issue that may be of concern to investors is that Take-Two filed a Shelf Registration. This gives the company the ability to issue and sell more shares. It means the management of Take-Two believes current levels may be a good place to sell.
And just like a retail investor, they wouldn't sell if they thought the price was going higher.

Stock Of The Day: Is The Take-Two Rally Almost Over?

Wall Street slumped into negative territory late in the week as renewed fears over inflation and trade <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs eroded risk appetite. </a>
The first warning sign came from the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey, which revealed an "unusually large" spike in inflation expectations. The one-year inflation outlook surged by a full percentage point to 4.3%, marking its highest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43564020/consumer-sentiment-sinks-economist-flags-unusually-large-rise-in-inflation-perception">level since November 2023. </a>
Investor uncertainty grew following President Donald Trump's announcement that &#8216;reciprocal tariffs&#8217; would take effect next week. Trump is expected to sign new executive orders at 2:00 p.m. Friday.
On the macro front, February&#8217;s jobs report revealed a mixed outcome, with employment growth slowing down more than expected, yet unemployment fell more than expected, and wages surged more than expected.
Market reaction was swift. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.6%, erasing its weekly gains, while the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.9% by 1:00 p.m. trading in New York. 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped into negative territory for the week, putting its three-week winning streak at risk. Small-cap stocks underperformed, with the Russell 2000 sinking 1.3%. 
Stock-wise, Uber Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NASDAQ">UBER</a>) skyrocketed by 9.5%, extending its 8.6% rally from the previous session, after hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman revealed a stake of 30.3 million shares in the ride-hailing giant.
In currency and bond markets, the U.S. dollar index – tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – rallied following the tariff headlines, while Treasury yields climbed higher. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 0.8%, reflecting renewed pressure on long-duration bonds. 
Gold took a breather, retreating under pressure from a stronger dollar. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) erased early session gains, slipping from an intraday high of $100,000 to $97,500.

소비자 기술 뉴스 (2월 3일~7일): EU 'AI 실천 강령' 준수하지 않기로 한 메타, 애플케어+ 구독료 인상한 애플 등

비디오 게임 퍼블리셔 테이크투 인터랙티브 소프트웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>)의 주식이 금요일 14% 이상 급등 마감했다. 이 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%ED%85%8C%EC%9D%B4%ED%81%AC%ED%88%AC-%EC%9D%B8%ED%84%B0%EB%9E%99%ED%8B%B0%EB%B8%8C-3%EB%B6%84%EA%B8%B0-%EB%A7%A4%EC%B6%9C-%EB%B6%80%EC%A7%84-eps-%ED%98%B8%EC%A1%B0-%EC%98%88%EC%95%BD-%EC%A6%9D/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">회사가 실적을 발표</a>했고, 시장은 이를 긍정적으로 평가했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/video-games">현재로서는 긍정적</a>이다.
하지만 상승세는 단기적일 수 있다. 그래서 우리 거래팀은 이를 <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/?s=%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EC%9D%98+%EC%A3%BC%EC%8B%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">오늘의 주식</a>으로 선정했다.
월가에는 많은 오래된 속담들이 있다. 그 중 일부는 주목할 가치가 있다. 하나는 &#8220;이전의 최고가에서 매도하라&#8221;는 것이다.
이는 주식이 이전의 최고가에 도달할 경우 저항선에 부딪히는 경향이 있음을 나타낸다. 아래 차트에서 보시다시피, 테이크투는 2021년 2월에 최고가를 형성하였고, 현재 그 수준에 다시 가까워지고 있어 저항선에 부딪힐 수 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-772434" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-1024x548.png" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-1024x548.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-300x160.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113-768x411.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/07124434/113.png 1528w" alt="" width="1024" height="548" /></figure>

이전의 최고가나 피크에서 저항선이 생길 수 있는 이유는 투자 심리에 있다.
최고가에서 주식을 매입한 일부 투자자들은 여전히 주식을 보유하고 있으며, 그 이후로 손실을 보고 있다. 만약 그들이 마침내 약 215달러로 회복된다면, 많은 후회하는 매수자들은 손익 분기점에서 빠져나오기 위해 매도 주문을 낼 것이다.
이러한 매도 주문이 집중되면 이전의 최고가에서 저항선을 형성할 수 있다. 만약 일부 매도자들이 서로 가격을 낮추기 시작하면, 새로운 하락 추세가 형성될 수 있다.
또 다른 인기 있는 표현은 &#8216;시장은 기억력이 있다&#8217;는 것이다. 이는 중요한 가격 수준이 오랫동안 그 중요성을 유지할 수 있음을 나타낸다.
몇 주, 몇 달, 심지어 몇 년이 걸릴 수 있다. 이는 215.00달러의 피크가 5년 전에 발생했더라도, 여전히 중요할 수 있음을 의미한다.
투자자들에게 또 다른 우려 사항은 테이크투가 선반 등록(Shelf Registration)을 제출했다는 것이다. 이는 회사가 추가 주식을 발행하고 판매할 수 있는 능력을 갖추게 된다. 이는 테이크투 경영진이 현재 수준이 매도하기에 좋은 시점이라고 생각한다는 의미이다.
소매 투자자와 마찬가지로, 가격이 더 오를 것이라고 생각했다면 매도하지 않을 것이다.
주가 움직임: 테이크투의 주식은 금요일 14.03% 상승한 208.77달러에 마감되었다. 테이크투의 주식은 장 중 52주 최고가인 212.88달러를 기록했다.

비디오 게임 퍼블리셔 테이크투 인터랙티브 소프트웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>)는 목요일(6일) 장 마감 후 3분기 재무 실적을 발표했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43544649/take-two-interactive-software-inc-reports-results-for-fiscal-third-quarter-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이번 분기의 주요 세부 사항에 대해 살펴보자.</a>
3분기 실적: <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, 테이크투의 3분기 매출은 13억 7천만 달러로, 애널리스트 예상치 13억 9천만 달러에 미치지 못했다. 3분기 조정 주당순이익은 72센트이고 애널리스트 예상치 57센트를 상회했다.
총 순예약은 전년 대비 3% 증가했다. 반복적인 소비자 지출로 인한 순예약은 전년 대비 9% 증가했으며, 총 순예약의 79%를 차지했다. 테이트투 측은 순예약 증가가 NBA 2K의 "상당한 성과"에 힘입은 것이라고 언급했는데, 이는 회사의 여러 모바일 프랜차이즈에서 경험한 침체를 상쇄하는 데 도움이 되었다.
그리고 해당 분기는 현금 및 현금성 자산 12억 1천만 달러로 마감했다.
테이트투 인터랙티브의 회장 겸 CEO인 스트라우스 젤닉(Strauss Zelnick)은 "연말연시 기간 동안 좋은 성과를 거두었다"고 말했다.
"앞으로 다가올 올해는 테이크투 역사상 가장 강력한 해가 될 것으로 예상된다. 2월 11일에 &#8216;시드 마이어의 문명 7&#8242;, 여름에는 &#8216;마피아: 올드 컨트리&#8217;, 가을에는 &#8216;그랜드 테프트 오토 6&#8242;, 그리고 &#8216;보더랜드 4&#8242;를 출시할 계획이기 때문이다."
전망: 테이크투는 4분기 매출을 15억 2천만~16억 2천만 달러로 예상했고, 이는 추정치인 15억 4천만 달러보다 낮은 수준이다. 또한 분기 주당순손실 20센트부터 순이익 13센트까지 예상하고 있으며, 예상치는 주당순이익 6센트이다.
연간 매출은 55억 7천만~56억 7천만 달러로 추정했는데 예상치는 56억 2천만 달러다. 연간 주당순손실은 4.17~4.50달러로 예상하고 있으며 예상치는 주당 4.47달러 순손실이다.
젤닉은 "계속해서 히트작을 내놓으면서 2026년과 2027년에 순 예약 매출이 연속적으로 증가하여 사상 최고치를 기록할 것이라고 확신한다"고 말했다.
투자자들은 그랜드 테프트 오토 6(Grand Theft Auto VI)의 출시 시기에 대한 논평에 호의적으로 반응하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 PGA 투어 2K25를 2월 28일에, WWE 2K25를 3월 14일에 출시할 것이라고 밝혔다.
TTWO 주가 움직임: 테이트투 주가는 목요일 애프터마켓에서 6.51% 상승한 194.99달러에서 거래되고 있다.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">시장 변화</a>에 있어서 JP모건의 분석가인 코리 카펜터(Cory Carpenter)는 테이크투 인터랙티브 소프트웨어(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>)와 조메트리(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XMTR#NASDAQ">XMTR</a>)에 투자할 것을 추천하고 있다.
테이크투는 목표 주가가 225달러로 22%의 상승 여력을 가지고 있으며, 2025년에는 게임 시장을 지배할 것으로 예상된다. 한편, 조메트리는 목표 주가가 45달러로 23%의 상승 여력을 가지고 있으며, 제조 르네상스의 혜택을 누릴 준비가 되어 있다.
이 두 종목은 각자의 분야에서 투자자들의 주목을 받을 준비가 되어 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">테이크투의 차세대 게임 혁명</h2>
카펜터는 테이크투 인터랙티브를 2025년 최고의 비디오 게임 주식으로 선정하고, 이 퍼블리셔의 최강 게임 라인업을 강조한다. 2025년 가을 출시 예정인 GTA 6가 주도하고, 보더랜드 4, 시빌라이제이션 7 및 마피아: 올드 컨트리와 같은 주요 타이틀이 뒤따른다.
&#8220;우리는 GTA VI — 역사상 가장 기대되는 비디오 게임 중 하나 —가 2025년 TTWO 주가 성과의 주요 동력이 될 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 카펜터가 말했다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/12/42421928/how-gta-6-is-shaping-the-video-game-industry-even-before-its-release">GTA 6가 출시 전에도 비디오 게임 산업을 어떻게 형성하고 있는가</a>
두 번째 GTA 6 예고편은 출시 전 홍보 사이클을 촉발할 것으로 예상되며, 게임 사전 주문과 게임 플레이 미리 보기가 뒤따를 것이다. 투자자의 기대감이 이미 고조된 상황에서도, 카펜터는 테이크투가 시장 예측을 초과하는 역사를 가지고 있다고 강조하며, &#8220;TTWO는 RDR 2와 GTA V와 같은 주요 타이틀 출시에서 기대 이상으로 성과를 거두었다&#8221;고 언급했다.
잠재적인 장애물은 출시 지연이나 보수적인 2026 회계연도 재무 가이드라인이다. 그러나 강력한 모바일 전략과 2027 회계연도까지 30개 이상의 계획된 타이틀을 갖춘 테이크투는 장기적인 성공을 위한 준비가 되어 있다고 카펜터가 보고 있으며, 2026 회계연도의 예약 매출 성장을 46%로 예상한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">조메트리의 제조업 상승 가능성</h2>
산업 부문에서 조메트리는 JP모건의 인터넷 소형주 최애주로 우뚝 서 있다. 이 회사는 맞춤형 제조 시장을 지배하고 있으며, 불안정한 제조 환경과 수익성 목표 지연을 겪었음에도 불구하고 강한 입지를 유지하고 있다. 카펜터는 &#8220;우리는 제조업이 트럼프 하에서 부각될 것으로 보이는 2025년 XMTR을 선호한다&#8221;고 설명하며, 잠재적인 관세와 공급망 불확실성이 시장 점유율 상승을 가속화할 수 있다고 언급했다.
거시경제 개선이 없더라도 조메트리는 2025년 매출 성장률이 19%로 가속화될 것으로 기대된다. 카펜터는 즉시 견적 제공 및 국제 확장과 같은 회사 특유의 이니셔티브가 주요 촉매제라고 강조한다. 잠재적인 제조업 축소와 가치 평가 문제는 위험 요소이지만, 카펜터는 &#8220;2025년의 여러 가지 &#8216;승리 방법&#8217;이 있다&#8221;고 낙관적으로 보고 있다.
가상 세계에서의 혼란에서 실제 제조로의 전환까지, JP모건의 2025년 최고의 선택이 게임 팬들과 산업 관계자들을 모두 흥분시키고 있다. 테이크투가 블록버스터 출시로 게임을 재정의하든, 조메트리가 제조 혁신을 선도하든, JP모건의 2025년 최고의 선택은 역동적인 성장과 매력적인 시장 내러티브를 약속한다.
주가 움직임: 테이크투의 주식은 금요일 2.79% 하락한 178.61달러에 마감되었다. 조메트리는 8.21% 하락한 33.54달러에 마감되었다.

타이거 글로벌 헤지펀드가 플러터 엔터테인먼트 주식을 매수하고 덱스콤을 매도

S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 100 지수는 금요일 7일 연속 상승세를 기록했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/economic">주간 동안</a> 발표된 일련의 낙관적인 경제 지표에 대응하여 위험 자산에 대한 투자 심리가 개선되면서 2023년 10월 말 이후 가장 강력한 주간 실적을 기록했다.
이러한 지수들을 추적하면서 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)와 Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1(나스닥:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)은 금요일 각각 0.2%와 0.1%의 소폭 일일 상승률로 마감했다. 지난주 동안 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 100은 각각 4%, 5.5% 급등해 10개월 만에 최고 주간 상승률을 기록했다.
SPDR 다우존스 산업평균 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>)가 추적하는 다우존스 지수는 0.2% 상승 마감하여 4일 연속 상승세를 기록했으며 2023년 12월 이후 최고의 주간 상승을 기록했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">월스트리트, 강세 경제 데이터와 사상 최고 실적으로 연속 상승 연장</h3>
금요일에 트레이더들은 미시간 대학의 소비자 심리가 예상보다 나은 것으로 나타났으며 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/08/40419637/us-consumer-confidence-rebounds-in-august-expectations-are-subject-to-change-as-presidential-campaig" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">소비자들 사이에서 낙관론이 커지고 있음</a>을 나타냈다.
하루 전 발표된, 8월 10일로 끝나는 주에 대한 최초 실업수당 청구 건수는 하락세를 보였으며 이는 노동 시장 회복력에 대한 우려가 줄어들었음을 나타낸다. 한편 7월 소매판매는 월간 기준으로 예상보다 1% 이상 급증해 2023년 1월 이후 가장 강한 달을 기록했다.
지난주 초에 발표된 소비자와 생산자 모두에 대한 예상보다 약한 인플레이션 데이터는 시장의 열광을 더욱 부채질하여 다음 달 연방준비은행(연준)의 금리 인하에 대한 기대를 확고히 했다.
낙관적인 데이터로 인해 더 큰 규모의 금리 인하 가능성이 누그러졌고, 시장 참여자들은 이제 보다 완만한 25베이시스 포인트(bp) 인하 쪽으로 기울고 있다. CME 그룹의 페드워치(FedWatch) 도구에 따르면 더 큰 50bp 인하가 예상되는 시장 내재 확률은 23%로 떨어졌다. 이는 경제 데이터가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40405406/interest-rate-markets-rethink-fed-strategy-as-economic-data-signals-no-rush-for-m" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">과도하게 느슨한 통화 정책</a>을 서두르지 않는다는 신호로 나타났기 때문이다.
"최신 데이터는 일자리가 늘어날 때 소비자들 반대로 베팅하는 것은 나쁜 베팅이라는 우리의 견해를 뒷받침한다. 악천후에도 불구하고 지난달에는 쇼핑몰에 가는 것을 막지 못했다"고 야데니 리서치(Yardeni Research)의 사장인 에드 야데니(Ed Yardeni)가 말했다.
최근 실적 시즌에는 경기 침체가 임박했다는 징후가 전혀 나타나지 않는다고 야데니가 말했다. S&amp;P 500 기업 중 90% 이상이 2분기 실적을 보고한 가운데, 해당 지수의 주당 총 영업이익은 전년 동기 대비 10.9% 증가한 60.19달러로 사상 최고치를 기록했다.
