🏛️What The Analysts Are Saying…🏛️
“As we start to see the economy come around, we’re going to see the investment in bitcoin rise and subsequently the price. We could see legislation signed into law before the end of the year.” — Kristin Smith, Executive Director of the Blockchain Association
“Many indicators suggest we are near a short-term market bottom and a reflexive rally remains likely as we move toward year-end. Notably, next week will mark the end of the “stock buyback blackout” period. Such could provide as much as $4.5 billion in a daily bid to markets as corporations return to repurchases.” — Lance Roberts realinvestmentadvice.com
“You’ll see a lot of discounts, but a lot of those discounts will be year-over-year based on higher regular prices because of inflation. My hypothesis is that consumers will start [holiday shopping] early and they are going to pick out really discounted items.” — Bruce Winder, consumer retail analyst
👀What We’re Watching👀
• Americas: US Q3 GDP, PMI, PCE prices and durable goods orders, Canada and Brazil interest rate decisions
October’s flash PMIs will be watched to gauge economic performance at the start of the fourth quarter. Recent US survey data have alluded to weakening economic performance amid high prices and tightening financial conditions. While third quarter GDP data will likely signal robust growth, with the consensus expecting a 2% annualized uptick, US house price and homes sales data will be eagerly assessed amid concerns over the impact of rising interest rates, as will consumer confidence numbers. Also watch out for retail inventories, PCE price data and trade numbers plus durable goods orders.
In Canada, the central bank will convene where a 50 bp hike is priced in by markets. The BoC has already hiked rates by 300 basis points this year, and many are expecting interest rates to hit 4.5% next year. —IHS Markit
• Stock Market Tech Bellweather Apple Reports
Apple (AAPL $144.01) report earnings after Thursday’s close, with the iPhone maker set to release its fiscal fourth-quarter results. Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring (Overweight, the equivalent of Buy) says the setup for AAPL’s September quarter report is constructive due to several factors. These include “remarkably stable” iPhone, iPad and Mac production, as well as higher average selling prices (ASPs) for iPhones, which should offset headwinds from unfavorable foreign exchange.
CFRA Research analyst Angelo Zino (Buy) echoes that view, telling clients that Apple will benefit from “a strong start to the iPhone 14 cycle.” Although the analyst concedes that iPhone 14 momentum will likely ease over the next few quarters as the cycle runs its course, “we think the combination of greater Services revenue and an attractive hardware pipeline will continue to drive higher free cash flow and share price appreciation in the coming years.”
For AAPL’s fiscal Q4, analysts, on average, expect earnings of $1.27 per share (+2.4% YoY) and revenue of $88.9 billion (+6.6% YoY). — Kiplinger
