Key Points As expected, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points.

Amid a major political shift in the United States, investors may understandably be uncertain about how to distribute their assets. Some anticipate a new administration to be a boon for stocks thanks to loosened regulations and the potential for lower corporate taxes.

The Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut is set to benefit AGNC Investment, enhancing profitability and potentially increasing its valuation multiplier due to lower interest costs. AGNC Investment's interest income grew 28% Y/Y in Q3, while interest expenses rose 27%. Lower financing costs imply improving spread potential. AGNC's book value, previously hit by rising rates, could normalize and reprice upwards, making it a promising investment as the Fed cuts rates.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
