Higher Rates, Lower Leverage: Growth Stocks To Struggle While AI Offers Hope, Goldman Sachs Analysts Say
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Goldman Sachs analysts predict that growth stocks may struggle due to increasing interest rates and rising inflation. However, they have identified a selection of S&P 500 stocks that could be resilient in a high-rate environment, including Cisco Systems, Visa, BlackRock, CME Group, Johnson & Johnson, and Mastercard. They also suggest that artificial intelligence (AI) could significantly boost profitability for U.S. corporations. Goldman Sachs' AI basket includes NVIDIA, Marvell Technology Group, CrowdStrike Holdings, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Salesforce.com, Adobe, ServiceNow, and Intuit.
