Stocks that are expected to benefit from lower fed funds rate and a softer labor market Sep. 23, 2024 11:20 AM ET By: Monica L. Correa, SA News Editor shapecharge High labor cost stocks are benefiting from a rebalanced labor market and deceleration in wage growth. The fed funds rate was lowered by 50 basis points on Wednesday to 4.75-5%, and the labor market has cooled down from overheated levels. Goldman Sachs analysts said that labor costs account for 12% of sales for the aggregate S&P 500 ( SP500) and 14% of sales for the median stock. “A 100 basis points change in labor costs would impact S&P 500 ( SP500) EPS by 0.7%, all else equal,” wrote David J. Kostin, chief U.S. equity strategist. High labor costs stocks have a 10-percentage-point outperformance over low labor cost stocks since May. This suggests that investors are confident that wage pressures on earnings will continue to subside, Kostin said. Industrials ( XLI) have the highest implied labor costs as a percentage of revenue at 20%; energy ( XLE) has the lowest at 5%.

Overweight quality stocks with positive EPS revisions - MS Sep. 23, 2024 4:17 PM ET By: Monica L. Correa, SA News Editor AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Morgan Stanley analysts listed quality stocks with positive EPS revisions and overweight rating, as they believe that the group is expected to perform well in the near-term. “The labor data will be the most important factor in terms of how equities trade through year-end,” wrote Strategist Michael J. Wilson. “A drop in the unemployment rate and above consensus payroll data (without downward revisions) is likely the most risk-on signal for equities in the fourth quarter.” He said that a drop in the unemployment rate can counter seasonal weakness in earnings revisions and election-related volatility, but a rise in the unemployment rate (above 4.3%) alongside weak payrolls (under 100,000) will cause risk-off price action. The following stocks are members of the Russell 1000 (NYSEARCA: IWF), have positive one-month earnings revision, above-median quality composite score vs. their sector peers, and are rated overweight.

Stocks that are set to benefit from either Harris or Trump winning scenarios – Barclays Sep. 25, 2024 3:04 PM ET By: Monica L. Correa, SA News Editor da-kuk The upcoming U.S. presidential election is a top concern for U.S. equities for the rest of the year, according to Barclays analysts. Analysts published a list of stocks that “stand to benefit from either of the two outcomes of the election.” These are overweight-rated stocks that are viewed as best candidates to outperform in each of the political scenarios. Trump win beneficiaries include Becton Dickinson ( BDX), and Baker Hughes ( BKR); and Harris win beneficiaries include Knight-Swift Transportation ( KNX), and CF Industries ( CF). These stocks have daily average option notional volumes of more than $5M, and have a large potential for an upside, measured by the distance from their one-year high and normalized by the three-month realized volatility, according to Barclays analysts. The stocks also have the lowest volatility scores, measured by the average of the two-year percentile across the three-month at-the-money implied volatility spread, both compared to the realized volatility and the sector volatility.

Oil tanker stocks surge as market awaits potential Israel retaliation against Iran Oct. 03, 2024 1:23 PM ET By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor rgaydos/E+ via Getty Images Frontline (NYSE: FRO) and other oil tanker stocks are rallying this week as Israel weighs potential retaliation for Iran's missile launch against it, and whether Israel's response will include any of Iran's key energy assets. Tanker companies, wary of geopolitical risks in the Middle East, have limited the hire of their vessels, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing three vessel owners. Earnings for Aframax-class ships to deliver 700K-barrel cargoes of U.S. oil to Europe surged 249% this weak to reach nearly $58K/day, the Baltic Exchange reports, Bloomberg said. The Exchange's overall assessment of Aframax earnings doubled this week to slightly more than $42K/day, Suezmaxes have gained 56% to $36K/day this week, and Very Large Crude Carriers have gained 10%. Frontline (NYSE: FRO) has gained 8% in the three days since Iraq's missile attack to its highest level since mid-August; among other strong gainers include International Seaways ( INSW), DHT Holdings ( DHT), Nordic American Tankers ( NAT), Scorpio Tankers ( STNG), Teekay Corp. ( TK), Teekay Tankers ( TNK), Danaos ( DAC), Tsakos Energy Navigation ( TEN). The increase in shipping rates is "consistent with the usual seasonal uptick heading into the winter, backed by a strong underlying market with limited supply growth and increasing geopolitical risks," Clarksons analysts wrote.
