Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline As a growing number of investment banks and company chiefs warn that the likelihood of a recession is increasing, analysts at Morgan Stanley are telling clients that the stock market—despite reeling from a steep selloff in recent weeks—has plenty of room to fall before hitting levels consistent with recession-era lows, which would be especially bad for cyclical industries like travel and hospitality. Key Facts Despite major stock indexes plunging more than 20% below recent highs, markets are still only down by about 60% of the average drawdown compared with previous recessions (which denote two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth), Morgan Stanley analysts told clients in a Tuesday note. As the Federal Reserve works to combat decades-high inflation with interest rate hikes that will likely stunt economic growth, a recession “is no longer just a tail risk,” analysts led by Michael Wilson wrote, … [Read more...] about Stock Market Could Crash Another 20% If U.S. Plunges Into Recession—These Industries Are Most At Risk

Dow component American Express Company ( AXP ) is trading lower after Friday's opening bell despite beating third quarter profit estimates by $0.06 per share and reaffirming fiscal year 2019 guidance . Quarterly revenues matched bullish expectations, rising 8.3% to $10.99 billion, with healthy card member activity underpinning growth metrics. However, a slight rise in delinquencies has undermined buying interest, suggesting that loan activity may be at or close to a cyclical peak. American Express has grown dependent on strong customer spending and borrowing in recent years, while traditional business account activity has taken a back seat. The current economic cycle has been bad news for the vast majority of start-ups, with mega corporations consuming market share at an aggressive pace. Amex has adjusted well to this paradigm shift, realigning business objectives to focus on individuals and families with higher-than-average buying power. Investors have taken notice of the … [Read more...] about American Express Stock Loses Ground Despite Strong Quarter

Dow component American Express Company ( AXP ) broke out to an all-time high in April, just a few days after beating first quarter earnings per share (EPS) estimates by $0.04 and reaffirming 2019 guidance . A series of analyst upgrades has followed in May and June, adding to relative strength, which has also benefited from speculation the financial giant will eventually merge with The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ( GS ). American Express stock has now lifted into the sixth slot in Dow component performance, just two clicks below rival Visa Inc. ( V ). Amex underperformed Visa and Mastercard Incorporated ( MA ) for years but has played an admirable game of catch-up since 2017 and is now matching the upside of its rivals, point for point. This bodes well for healthy returns in the new decade, which should also benefit from the company's broader product catalog and more affluent customer base.

Dow component American Express Company ( AXP ) has rallied more than 35 points off March's three-year low in the $60s but faces major headwinds in coming quarters, raising the potential for profitable short sales . That downside could unfold before the end of the second quarter because weekly relative strength readings are probing overbought levels even though the three-month uptick has failed to dislodge highly bearish monthly readings. Rivals Mastercard Incorporated ( MA ) and Visa Inc. ( V ) are better positioned to survive and prosper in coming years, with robust digital payment systems that have become even more attractive due to the worldwide pandemic. Meanwhile, American Express remains highly dependent on business travel, which may never return to pre-pandemic levels because many corporations are adapting quickly to the virtual meeting world. Of course, other travel-oriented companies have taken a beating so far in 2020, with plummeting revenues and transactions … [Read more...] about American Express Stock Could Offer Profitable Short Sales

- A + A (June 22): If you’re a stock trader, you should probably be turning your attention to cryptocurrencies right about now. That’s according to Mark Mobius, who co-founded Mobius Capital Partners after spending more than three decades at Franklin Templeton Investments. “Cryptocurrencies are a measure of investor sentiment,” he said in an interview Wednesday. “Bitcoin goes down, the next day the Dow Jones goes down. That’s the pattern you get. That shows that Bitcoin is a leading indicator.” Only when institutional and retail investors truly “throw in the towel” and stop putting more money into the market because of losses is when sentiment has hit rock bottom, he said. “That’s the time to start buying stocks.” Moves in Bitcoin and global stocks have become more positively correlated this year Worries about global recessionary risks have wiped out billions in Bitcoin’s market value, with the token crashing about 70% from its peak to trade near US$20,000. … [Read more...] about Bitcoin is leading indicator of stock-market bottom, Mobius says

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Oklahoma mogul spoke to Forbes about how he's protecting his investments ahead of the “near certainty” of a recession. With the S&P 500 entering a bear market last week , many of America’s billionaires are convinced that a recession is in the offing . George Kaiser , one of the wealthiest people in Oklahoma with an estimated $9.5 billion fortune, is one of them. Kaiser, 79, told Forbes that a “recession seems a near certainty” and that he expects the economy to tip into a downturn in the first two quarters of 2023, with a prolonged dip in the stock market. The timing of the market bottoming out—the point at which the stock market hits a low and begins rising again—is still far off, according to Kaiser. “Historic analogies would suggest a 35% total drop from the peak, but that history is largely irrelevant since so many of the factors are unique,” he said.
