Investors who are uncertain about the Fed’s ruthless inflation policy may have gotten the message by now.
And as markets adjust to the possibility of further hikes from the central bank, with the escalating war in Europe and the energy crisis looming in the background, if it plans to “hold until the end,” the S&P 500 SPX
It may struggle to revisit its summer nadir.
“Today’s is given. [Wednesday’s] BTG’s chief market technician Jonathan Krinsky told clients that although they are pessimistic, we think the path to the June low (3,640) could be very quick.
“The bad news is that it’s still one of the weakest seasonal windows of the year, especially in the middle of the year. The good news is that it will change quickly in mid-October. We think we’ll test or break the June low before then, which should set a better entry point for the year-end rally,” Krinsky said. .
Investors would be forgiven for feeling backed into a corner when it comes to investment options. That brings us to us. Call of the day From Credit Suisse, dozens of companies with strong business models offer “uncertainty protection”.
The bank is currently recommending an underweight position on the stock due to “earnings estimates for 2023 could decline by 15% to 20% for the S&P 500.” They see a “highly uncertain” growth outlook, fueled by a hawkish central bank response to wage growth and the European energy crisis. Strategists expect US growth to reach just 0.9% in 2023, with the euro zone slowing to 0.2%.
Still, Richard Kearsley, head of global equity research, and his team asked analysts in different regions to “identify companies whose earnings are unlikely to be immune to weakness, but should be protected from economic uncertainty thanks to the high barriers they face around their businesses.” “
“The selected stocks reflect examples of companies that have demonstrated innovation excellence, first-mover advantage or simply a scale advantage that has developed a market-leading position and strong pricing power,” he said.
And instead of limiting picks to defensive sectors or styles, they cast a wide net and came up with 35 well-rated stocks with “economic wins across regions.” Bold names represent those with above-consensus earnings estimates and target prices, as well as the majority of contra-consensus calls.
