Its shares jumped in extended trading but given the "blowout earnings," Nancy Tengler of Laffer Tengler Investments said she expected to see a higher move. "We think there's another way to play this," she said, adding these are namely buying into "old economy companies," as well as data center names. One such "old economy" name is Walmart , according to her. They've embraced not only digital solutions, but robotics, generative AI and their ad business in cloud computing, obviously in their e-commerce business," she said. Quanta Services , which builds infrastructure for electric power and renewables, as well as provides utility performance services, was another pick from Tengler.

Ultimately, that attribute led the 44-year-old to a career she never imagined: a real-estate agent and investor. Until she started her first job as a paralegal at one of the biggest law firms in New York City, that is. Becoming a real-estate agent satisfied both of those criteria. Casey started bringing in $2,350 a month, which the government covered for her tenant. "To get $1,100 right now in gross cash flow on your first deal in a low market is really, really good, especially in Baltimore where the average is $300."

"If there is a regime shift, then what has worked could be quite different from what does work," McLennan said. That means the growth stocks that dominated for years may come back to earth in the mid-2020s.

Valuations explain 80% of a stock's returns over a decade, according to Bank of America. Smead sees energy in stocks in Canada also outperforming in the coming decade, as well as European banks.

Bonds are starting to make a lot of sense for investors, Forrest said. Even after pulling back somewhat from those levels, the benchmark yield remains within striking distance of the key 5% threshold. The potential unwinding of what BofA recently called the "greatest bond bear market in history" has more investors trying to lock in higher yields ahead of potential rate cuts next year from the Federal Reserve. 'A lot for us to love bonds' Other investors are building out their bond exposure. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) is off by more than 2% in 2023, but greater than 1% on the week.

Rising interest rates were fending investors off technology stocks and into value. Instead, she's about identifying companies across various sectors that are embracing digitization to improve productivity in a tight labor market, where job openings outnumber available workers. "In a tight labor market historically, technology spending goes up and technology stocks outperformed," Tengler said. When Tengler bets on pure technology stocks, they must also have strong balance sheets. She's confident that these companies will be able to deliver strong earnings growth in a slowing economic environment.
