What Is The Market Telling Us
Inspired’s shares are very volatile and have had 21 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 11 days ago when the stock gained 5.8% on the news that comments from a key Federal Reserve official bolstered hopes for an interest rate cut. New York Federal Reserve President John Williams stated he sees “room for a further adjustment” in the near term, sparking a significant market rally. Following his remarks, the probability of the central bank cutting rates at its December meeting jumped from 39% to over 73%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. This positive sentiment provided relief to markets amid concerns over high valuations, particularly in AI-related stocks.
Inspired is up 1.9% since the beginning of the year, but at $9.00 per share, it is still trading 21.8% below its 52-week high of $11.50 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Inspired’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,319.
