WITH THE LOOPS THIS ECONOMY HAS BEEN THROUGH, IT'S ALL ABOUT LANDING
Bob Doll, chief investment officer at Crossmark Global Investments, believes it's all about what sort of landing the economy ultimately sees.
Will it be hard, soft, bumpy, or no landing at all?
As Doll sees it, the Fed's 50 bp rate cut has modestly increased the odds of a soft landing. However, Crossmark's baseline scenario remains a significant slowdown or mild recession.
"Any caution toward equities has admittedly been wrong or at least premature. The onset of economic weakness/recession has been delayed by the deployment of a historically large stock of excess savings," writes Doll in his latest "Deliberations."
Doll believes there are numerous risks.
He disagrees that the job of bringing inflation back to target levels is complete. However, he believes the Fed's actions have only modestly raised the odds that disinflation will end or that inflation will, in fact, reaccelerate.
Doll also says that forward earnings expectations are elevated and are almost never this robust except during the early stages of an economic recovery following corporate tax cuts, or equity market bubbles like such as that which developed in the late 1990s.
Additionally, Doll says the steps China has taken are likely to stabilize the credit impulse and prevent it from falling further, but it's an open question as to whether they will lead to a significant acceleration in credit growth. Doll thinks China's property market woes and ongoing liquidity trap point to monetary measures as "pushing on a string."
Doll's bottom line is that market remains in "'a high-risk momentum-driven bull market,' implying investors need to participate but also need to be extra judicious in equity selection, focusing primarily on earnings quality, earnings persistence, and strong free cash flow."
