Rate Hike Concerns

OneWater (ONEW) stock fell 5.2% after the Federal Reserve's decision to revise its dot plot and maintain benchmark rates, signaling potential rate hikes rather than cuts. This news is particularly concerning for retailers with high leverage, as a rising rate outlook increases debt refinancing costs. The company's stock price has been volatile, experiencing 36 moves greater than 5% over the last year, but today's move indicates that market participants consider this news meaningful.
