Signet Jewelers Posts Better-Than-Expected Earnings, Joins NETGEAR, Lovesac And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Chewy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>) shares are trading higher in response to Petco Health and Wellness Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOOF#NASDAQ">WOOF</a>) second-quarter financial results. Petco&#8217;s earnings report, which showed quarterly sales of $1.52 billion, met analyst estimates, although the company missed its earnings target with losses of nine cents per share compared to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/40815911/chewy-just-overtook-the-20-day-moving-average">the expected 2 cents.</a>
What To Know: Petco's consumables and services segments showed growth, with a 1.5% and 3.1% year-over-year increase, respectively, but these gains were offset by a 4.7% decline in its supplies and companion animal business. Despite these mixed results, the market responded positively, pushing Petco stock up 7.72% during Tuesday's session, and Chewy appeared to benefit from this momentum as a peer in the pet care sector.
The surge in Petco's stock continued into Wednesday, fueled by an unexpected catalyst: the involvement of Keith Gill, known as &#8220;Roaring Kitty.&#8221; By midday, the stock had soared nearly 35% after Gill posted a cryptic message on Reddit, igniting excitement in the meme stock community.
What Else: Roaring Kitty, also famously associated with the GameStop trading frenzy, posted a cryptic image from &#8220;Toy Story,&#8221; speculated to reference Chewy stock, in which Keith Gill previously held a large position.
CHWY Price Action: Chewy shares closed 8.12% higher at $30.24 on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga pro.</a>

GameStop Reports Weak Sales, Joins Petco, Relay Therapeutics And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

Index futures are sporting caution early Wednesday as the market prepares to receive the all-important August consumer price inflation report. Vice President Kamala Harris is widely considered as the <a href="https://dash.parsely.com/benzinga.com/posts/uvH2BRT1nTC-trump-vs-harris-debates-results-are-in-flash-poll-shows-resounding-majority-pick-vice-president-as/?minutes=10">winner of the presidential debate </a>held between her and Republican candidate Donald Trump late Tuesday, and this could prove to be slightly market-negative, given the former president is viewed as market-friendly. That said, there are specific sectors that could capitalize on the outcome, including green energy stocks.
The major market-moving catalyst for the day, however, is going to be the August consumer price inflation report, which along with Thursday&#8217;s producer price inflation report could be key inputs the Federal Reserve will look into as they make their interest rate decision following the conclusion of a two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting next Wednesday.

In premarket trading on Wednesday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) moved down 0.25% to $547.50 and the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) slipped 0.29% to $457.35, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks closed Tuesday&#8217;s session on a mixed note as risk aversion perked up following Oracle Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) strong results and the implication it had for the artificial intelligence trades. The major averages started on a firm footing but lost their momentum mid-way through, as they dipped below the unchanged line by the mid-session.
 The mid-session weakness stemmed from a pullback in financial stocks after JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) gave a muted outlook at an industry conference. Energy stocks also served as drags after the WTI-grade crude oil futures plunged over 4%.
Stocks, however, staged a strong recovery, with the Nasdaq Composite and S&amp;P indices closing higher for the second straight day, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average settled modestly lower.

Insights From Analysts:
Fund manager Louis Navellier said in a note to clients that he expects a positive CPI report for August, premising his expectation on the shelter costs potentially continuing to moderate. He also looks ahead to a favorable producer price inflation report on Thursday as wholesale service and good costs have been soft. As a result, he expects Treasury yields to move lower.
The slower pace of the PPI inflation than the CPI inflation is due to the fact that the U.S. continues to import deflation from China, he said.
A strategist said there could be a bit of pullback, given the market is in a seasonally weak period and it is the election year. Fund Strat Global Head of Technical Strategy Mark Newton said given the fact that sentiment is not as optimistic as he would want to see, it&#8217;s going to be a hiccup. Weighing in on the headwinds, he noted that the current presidential election is highly contentious and divisive and there are two wars overseas. &#8220;Earnings though have been remarkably good and the stock market itself has been good,&#8221; he noted.
&#8220;I do suspect we probably pull back a little bit further even over the next week you can&#8217;t rule that out. So maybe to 53 and change uh then I think we probably start to turn higher after the Fed meeting,&#8221; he said.

Commodities, Bonds And Global Equity Markets:
Crude oil futures rebounded strongly in early New York trading and safe haven gold held up above the $2,550 level. Bitcoin fell sharply after the presidential debate and traded down to $56.5K, as pro-crypto candidate Trump is widely believed as the loser of the face-off.

Asian stocks fell across the board, led by the Japanese market, which weakened in reaction to the yen&#8217;s strength. Apprehension ahead of the U.S. inflation data also kept sentiment muted in the region. The European markets are seeing modest strength, although the U.K. market was slightly weaker amid the release of a slew of soft domestic economic data.
