Earnings outlook must improve for broader market rebound, wealth manager says
Despite strong gains for the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 so far this year, corporate earnings need to recover for the market rally to broaden, according to Michael Landsberg, chief investment officer at Landsberg Bennett Private Wealth Management.
“Earnings need to improve in order to see any kind of broader gains in the stock market, as the S&P 500 has had three consecutive quarters of year-over-year earnings slowdowns,” Landsberg said.
“The markets have had a good run, particularly in technology, and needed time to calm down, which is partly why we have seen broader market declines in the last two months. Higher interest rates and money markets create more competition for stocks, which increases pressure on the market,” he added.
According to Landsberg, the company rebalanced its client portfolios in the summer to reduce exposure to the technology, given its dramatic rebound over a six-month period.
“This is a normal cycle activity with some sectors warming up and others cooling down,” Landsberg said.
