According to JPMorgan, the global outlook for securities markets in 2024 suggests a more positive scenario compared to the previous year, with expectations of easing inflation and interest rates. Investors expect central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to lower interest rates, but concerns persist about potential disruptions from geopolitical tensions, supply chain issues, and strong growth leading to inflation spikes. The technology and health care sectors are performing well globally, with positive long-term trends supporting their growth.

In the corporate sphere, merger and acquisition activity is on the rise, doubling last year’s pace, driven by reduced macroeconomic uncertainty, lower interest rates, and higher equity valuations. JPMorgan noted that the technology and healthcare sectors are rallying due to strong earnings and supportive long-term trends. The healthcare sector, which experienced negative earnings growth last year, is expected to rebound, with the worst seemingly over. M&A activity is also expected to continue, supported by a favorable economic environment, as evidenced by notable deals such as the Synopsys and ANSYS software tie-up, BlackRock’s acquisition of Global Infrastructure Management, and Sekisui House’s purchase of MDC Holdings. Overall, the macroeconomic backdrop of stable inflation, declining policy rates, and robust corporate earnings growth is seen as favorable for multi-asset portfolios, providing a constructive environment despite uncertainties in specific trends.

In 2023, market timing proved challenging as investors initially sold stocks despite a 17% rally in the S&P 500 by mid-year, as per Blackrock’s Market Insights. Flows into stocks resumed in November, coinciding with a 14% S&P 500 increase through year-end. Bond commitment persisted throughout most of the year, but $22 billion flowed out during late summer/fall as the 10-year Treasury note peaked at 4.99% in October. In 2024, both stocks and bonds may find success with easing inflation and a pivot in Fed policy. Resilient growth could benefit stocks, while falling interest rates may favor bonds. However, cash may become less attractive with anticipated Fed rate cuts. Potential winners include smaller cap US quality companies, healthcare, financials, and opportunities in India, Mexico, and Japan, with the possibility of a surprising market leader emerging, similar to AI names in 2023.

As of December 2023, the US equity market, based on a composite of over 700 stocks on US exchanges, has been trading at a price/fair value of 1.00, indicating alignment with fair value estimates. Anticipating a year of economic recovery and normalization in 2024 after the disruptions caused by the pandemic, there are still undervalued opportunities with substantial safety margins. Small-cap stocks are particularly attractive, at a 16% discount, followed by mid-caps at 6%, while large caps are slightly above fair value. According to Morningstar, small-cap stocks, experiencing significant discounts compared to larger counterparts, are poised for outperformance in 2024. Previous concerns about small-cap viability during the pandemic have eased, and despite pressure related to rising interest rates, the stage is set for small caps to excel. The forecast for 2024 and 2025 includes a more normalized economic environment, alleviating solvency fears for small caps, and a decline in interest rates, mitigating refinancing risks.

Some of the stocks that market experts expect will triple include Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE:KGC), Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:ACHR), and Caribou Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRBU).

“During the first quarter, Lithium Americas Corp.

Even though LAC is non-producing and its stock is down 34% over the past year (compared to the larger lithium producer’s 3%), the stock remains one of our favorites with multiple catalysts (and still up roughly 600% from our initial purchase price):

Cauchari-Olaroz Stage I first production in sight and Stage II initiation by year-end,

Substantial earthworks beginning 2H23 at Thacker,

Growth potential with greater guidance on Pastos Grandes, and

Formal separation of North American Assets and Argentine assets into separate publicly traded entities

As Cauchari-Olaroz in Argentina and Thacker Pass come online, volumes will effectively be marked at leading-edge pricing. As such, it seems prudent to continue underwriting growth, especially given the firm’s experienced management team with a visible pipeline to incremental supply before 2025. These qualities make one or both post-separation entities attractive buyout targets for numerous suitors…” (Please click here to read the full text)
