What Is The Market Telling Us
P10’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 10 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 12 days ago when the stock gained 3.5% on the news that investors grew more optimistic about a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December. The positive sentiment was fueled by comments from New York Fed President John Williams, a voting member of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee, who stated the central bank could cut rates "in the near term" without jeopardizing its inflation targets. Following his remarks, market expectations for a rate cut in December shifted significantly. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a December rate reduction surged from a 37% chance earlier in the day to 70%. While lower rates can compress bank profit margins, investors often view them as a catalyst for broader economic activity, potentially boosting loan demand and reducing the risk of defaults.
P10 is down 23.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $9.84 per share, it is trading 29.5% below its 52-week high of $13.95 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of P10’s shares at the IPO in October 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $814.16.
