Stock Market's 'Once-In-A-Generation' Opportunity Is Near, Says Bernstein Analyst: 'You Are Going To See A Bear Market'
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Richard Bernstein Advisors (RBA) suggests a 'once-in-a-generation' investment opportunity is approaching due to a potential shift in the stock market. RBA's Deputy CIO, Dan Suzuki, warns of a bear market for large-cap tech stocks, with a deceleration in corporate earnings expected for major tech companies. Only three of the 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks are projected to have over 25% earnings growth in 2024. Meanwhile, sectors like small caps, industrials, energy, and emerging markets could see earnings acceleration. Extreme valuations and investor concentration in mega-cap tech firms may lead to a market shift away from these stocks.
