What Is The Market Telling Us
Purple’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 62 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Purple and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 14 days ago when the stock gained 4.8% on the news that a cooler-than-expected inflation report fueled optimism for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. The September Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.0% year-over-year, coming in just below the 3.1% analysts had forecast. While still above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, investors interpreted the slight cooling as a sign that inflationary pressures may be easing, potentially giving the central bank room to consider interest rate cuts in the near future. Sectors that are typically sensitive to interest rates, such as real estate and utilities, saw a notable lift. Lower rates can reduce borrowing costs and increase the appeal of dividend-paying stocks, boosting investor confidence in these areas.
Purple is up 10.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $0.83 per share, it is still trading 33.6% below its 52-week high of $1.25 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Purple’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $30.42.
