Back to Reality

Season 7 · Episode 23

Wednesday, September 4, 2024 • Duration 05:39

Two big things you need to know: First, as we return from the Labor Day holiday weekend in the US, we find that major challenges for US equities are still lurking. We remain confident in our 5,700 YE 2024 S&P 500 price target, but acknowledge the challenges that must be worked through. Second, other updates from our high frequency indicators keep us in the camp that believes the US economy is slowing but isn’t on the cusp of an outright downturn. Overall, we continue to take comfort in earnings and economic data.

Odds & Ends To End The Summer

Season 7 · Episode 22

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 04:32

The big things you need to know: First, 2Q24 earnings season is ending up solid. With most reports in, we highlight a few of the most interesting charts in our deck on earnings right now. Second, other updates on our high frequency indicators were generally positive for US equities and mixed for the rotation trade. We end the summer of 2024 with increased conviction that August 5th was the low in the recent pullback, even if some choppiness seems likely to be there to greet us when we return in September, and feeling good about our 5,700 YE 2024 S&P 500 price target.

Topics include stock market concentration and the potential catalysts for leadership rotation, the influence of retail trading, and views on the Energy and Utilities sectors.

Trimming Our S&P 500 Target, Getting More Intrigued With Small Caps

Season 3 · Episode 23

Tuesday, June 7, 2022 • Duration 09:49

This week in the podcast, we’re updating our outlook on the broader US equity market. Three big things you need to know: First, we have trimmed our S&P 500 year-end 2022 price target to 4700 from 4860. This is a housekeeping move. We are continuing to bake in a slower economic growth backdrop in 2022-2023 as opposed to a recession. Second, we continue to be more intrigued with Growth over Value going forward as most of our indicators look better for Growth or are fading for Value. Third, we recommend removing underweights on Small Cap and moving back to neutral vs. Large Cap, as Small Cap looks intriguing or better on our positioning/sentiment, valuation, and earnings work. The better risk/reward for Small Cap is something that reinforces our view that equity markets generally can move higher through year end.

Why We're Not Chasing Consumer Staples

Season 3 · Episode 22

Friday, May 27, 2022 • Duration 09:14

This week in the podcast, we dig into Consumer Staples, the third best performing sector in the S&P 500 so far in 2022. The big thing you need to know: We are sticking with a market weight stance on the sector. The tailwinds that have boosted sector performance so far this year (a favorable macro backdrop for defensives, rising recession fears, strong money flows, and a higher quality profile than other defensives) may continue to support leadership in the sector in the near term. But our list of concerns on the sector is growing, and includes extremely problematic valuations, crowded positioning, earnings revisions risk, a weaker ESG profile, and a cautious outlook from our analyst team. On a 6-12 month view, we think staying neutral makes the most sense and we’re reluctant to chase.

The RBC Hedge Fund Handbook – No Shelter from the Storm, Yet

Season 3 · Episode 21

Monday, May 23, 2022 • Duration 06:59

In this week’s podcast, we run through our takeaways from the first quarter 13fs of more than 300 of the biggest US-based hedge funds, which came out last week. Three big things you need to know: First, our review of the performance trends and relative valuations of the most popular S&P 500 stocks in hedge funds suggests to us that the pandemic froth is out of these names, an important milestone, but on the valuation side there may still be some room to fall. Second, we are keeping a close eye on the performance trends of the most popular hedge fund stocks relative to the broader market as another gauge of institutional investor sentiment. Third, in terms of sector positioning, what jumps out to us the most is that while hedge fund positioning in Consumer Staples remained underweight relative to the Russell 3000 as 1Q22 came to an end, the underweight has narrowed and is back to its 3Q16 high, which we view as another cautious data point on the sector.

Stocks at a Crossroads

Season 3 · Episode 20

Monday, May 16, 2022 • Duration 08:49

This week in the podcast, our

latest thoughts on economic expectations, sentiment, and valuations. The big

things you need to know: First, the S&P 500 is still trading as though it’s

experiencing a growth scare, a framework that has been pointing to downside in

the S&P 500 to ~3,850. Current trends in economic forecasts continue to

support the idea that this is the right way to think about how far stocks

should fall. Second, institutional investor sentiment has made significant

progress catching down to retail investor sentiment, with overall US equity

futures positioning among asset managers now below 2020 & Great Financial

Crisis lows, and getting close to 2011 and 2015/2016 lows – something that

makes the case for a bottoming in stocks relatively soon if recession fears can

be kept at bay. Third, while valuations aren’t yet a reason to buy US equities

on their own, they are no longer a problem for the market as a whole.

The Sentiment Signals We're Watching

Season 3 · Episode 19

Tuesday, May 3, 2022 • Duration 07:48

This week in the podcast we tackle the topic of investor sentiment, which has been back in focus given the S&P 500’s recent decline. The big things you need to know: First, the 13.9% drawdown in place at Friday’s close is near the range of prior growth scares, but our growth scare framework points to possible downside in the S&P 500 to 3,850 even with no recession if the Friday low doesn’t hold. Second, net bullishness on the AAII retail investor survey broke to a new post-Financial Crisis low last week, a contrarian buy signal for stocks on a 12-month forward basis. Third, positioning among asset managers in US equity futures hasn’t been quite as extreme, which suggests that institutional investor sentiment still needs to catch down to retail investors. Fourth, other widely watched fear gauges, the VIX and equity put/call ratio have moved up, another longer-term contrarian buy signal for stocks, but don’t look extreme yet. Overall, we think the data continues to paint a picture of extreme fear and a contrarian opportunity for longer-term investors, even though there is scope for further movement/more downside in the very near term on some gauges.

Bond Yields Take A Bite

Season 3 · Episode 18

Monday, April 25, 2022 • Duration 09:03

Four big things you need to know: (1) First, we’ve trimmed our year-end 2022 S&P 500 price target from 5,050 to 4,860. The recent move up in bond yields was the biggest contributor to the downward revision to our forecast. (2) Second, we think US equities are likely to keep benefiting from safe haven status for a bit longer. (3) Third, we continue to be more intrigued with Growth than Value going forward, though we’d be highly selective in our Growth exposure. (4) Fourth, while Small Caps are looking interesting again on valuation and positioning, we remain concerned that fundamentals will stay challenging for Small Caps given the downshift in economic expectations towards slower growth.

1Q22 Earnings Preview

Season 3 · Episode 17

Wednesday, April 13, 2022 • Duration 08:03

Today in the podcast, our thoughts on the 1Q22 reporting season, which kicks off this week in earnest with Financials. The big things you need to know: First, full-year S&P 500 EPS forecasts on the sell-side for 2022 and 2023 have moved up $5-6 since January, but underlying expectations regarding the path of profitability are likely more conservative than this stat suggests. Second, forward-looking expectations are being propped up by a few sectors, including Energy and Tech. Third, our quantitative transcript review highlights the extent to which demand, inflation, price hikes, labor, the Fed, and Russia/Ukraine have been in focus in recent company commentary, and we expect these issues will remain key themes in 1Q22 earnings calls. Fourth, in our manual review of earnings call transcripts, one thing that’s really jumped out to us has been commentary on the consumer, which we think reflects a shift from goods to services spending and overall resilience.
