These 3 stocks could rally after the Fed decision

What happened

The Federal Reserve announces its next interest-rate decision on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern after a two-day policy meeting. In a Reuters poll, 94 of 100 economists forecast an unchanged federal funds target of 3.75% - 4.00%, though all expected a December increase.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Holding rates steady would avoid another immediate rise in borrowing costs. Tesla depends on car financing, so cheaper loans could support demand. Lower market borrowing costs could also raise the present value of Tesla's future autonomous-driving and robotics earnings.

Analyst inference

Tesla, Meta Platforms, and Netflix are named as possible winners if the Fed's message is less aggressive. Such a message may ease Treasury yields and revive demand for growth companies, which are stocks valued for expected future earnings rather than current profit.

Analyst inference
