Jay Woods of Freedom Capital Markets in France’s Capital: Do Wall Street and Nasdaq have potential in the coming months? 📰 The US stock market has rebounded sharply after a steep fall in April. However, US stocks seem to lack catalysts. Do they still have upside potential for this year? Jay Woods, Chief Equity Strategist at Freedom Capital Markets (part of Freedom Holding Corp.), shared his thoughts on the latest market trends with Capital.fr, a leading economic news portail in France. Technology and consumer stocks have recently benefited from strong quarterly earnings released by Microsoft, Alphabet and Tesla, while rising long-term Treasury yields affected smaller stocks, according to Woods. “After a not-surprising just over 5% decline in April, the US stock market is trying to regain its footing, but headwinds persist, such as the upward trend in interest rates on government bonds,” the expert said. Woods believes the US stock market is likely to move sideways in the coming months, while its longer-term trend remains bullish. #freedom24 #jaywoods #capitalfrance

L’OGBL et les autres syndicats ont signé le 24 juin 2024 un plan social chez UBS / Crédit Suisse. Pour rappel, le transfert prévu pour octobre 2024 du groupe Crédit Suisse AG dans le groupe UBS AG et les fusions de six entités juridiques sont à l’origine de ce plan social. Une première vague de licenciements, prévue pour juillet 2024, touchera entre 70 et 80 salariés. Une seconde vague pourrait avoir lieu après les différentes fusions et concernée entre 65 et 75 employés en 2025. Les syndicats et les représentants des 6 entreprises différentes sont parvenus à obtenir un cadre contenant des indemnisations extralégales, avec notamment le paiement d’indemnités extra-légales basées sur l’âge et la séniorité et le paiement d’une prime sociale En outre, les salariés concernés auront droit à des mesures d’accompagnement social. Néanmoins nous regrettons fortement cette perte de postes au sein de ce nouveau groupement et de compétences du secteur financier. Un gâchis si le maintien du secteur n’est pas plus promulgué.

Indeed, beyond the approval of a new #financial product, this sheds regulatory light on the status of #Ether.

Wall Street : the only way is up ? Probably, but perhaps not so fast ! The S&P 500 recently reached 6000 points (all-time high). Its performance over two years is quite dizzying, up nearly 50% while cumulative forecast earnings are only up 17%. P/E expansion, fueled in particular by optimism on AI and Mag 7, has therefore been the main driver of performance. Over the last two years, the intra-annual correction in stock prices has also been more muted than the long-term average (-15%). Looking ahead, already solid EPS growth could be boosted (up to 5%) if US corporate taxes are lowered (quite likely given a full red sweep on Capitol Hill). But Trumponomics 2.0 could prove to be inflationary/reflationary, resulting in lower interest rate cuts and steadier bond yields. This could ultimately be a headwind for valuation multiples. In the second half of 2024, P/E expansion has already shown some moderation, a trend even more visible among the Mag 7. In fact, they continue to rise but now less quickly than the increase in their expected profits. More fundamentally, annual performances should converge towards their long-term average close to 10% or even below in the event of some P/E erosion (difficult to predict but quite possible). In the longer term, over a 10-year horizon, various analyses conclude that the level of average annual returns, while remaining in positive territory, should be more moderate than in the recent past and lower than the long-term average.

Investment Idea: High Dividend Stocks - Strong Demand Expected A vast majority of central banks have started their interest rate cutting cycles and the market is expecting 6 more rate cuts in the US. When interest rates decline, the yields on bonds and other fixed-income securities fall as well, making high-dividend stocks more attractive to income-seeking investors. With reduced income from traditional safe-haven assets, investors often turn to dividend-paying stocks for higher returns. Additionally, financial markets have been experiencing spikes in volatility over the past few months, being due to the unwinding of the Yen carry-trade, the US elections or some disappointing economic prints. This uncertainty makes established companies with stable cash flows more attractive as investors seek to mitigate potential risks. The recent rise observed in US yields is likely associated with an increased probability of a Donald Trump victory. Indeed, the market expects a wider fiscal deficit under the republican candidate, which would revive inflationary pressures. If inflation proves to be stickier than expected and growth remains moderate, established companies with strong pricing power (typically found among high-dividend payers) should fare better than growth stocks due to their ability to pass increased costs onto customers without experiencing a drop in demand. The selected underlying offers a balanced sectorial mix which mitigates concentration risk and is less correlated to the business cycle compared to the S&P 500. It also displays cheaper valuations (average P/E Ratio of 17.6 vs 28.2 for SPX), a beta of 0.85 and a distribution yield of 3.5% (vs 1.2% for SPX). This last point is crucial because the proposed product leverages the funding on the notes and dividends payment to provide a significant participation to the upside with a relatively tight cap, thus maximizing the probability to achieve attractive returns over the next few years.
