Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Andrew Slimmon says that stocks are set to rally further. The economy is proving to be "far more resilient" than what the doomsayers had projected, says managing director and senior portfolio manager Slimmon.

☆ Morgan Stanley’s Slimmon says stocks will surprise Wall Street in 2023 — and names two he likes
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-19 | by ( Zavier Ong | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Wall Street strategists expect this year to end on a much better note than 2022 — but they still warn that the path ahead looks volatile. However, Morgan Stanley's Andrew Slimmon said he believes stocks are going to do "far better" than most expect. Slimmon also likes Pool Corp , a Louisiana-based company that sells swimming pool supplies. Fed pivot in the works His relatively positive read on the economy is a big reason for his optimism about the market. But Slimmon said he believes the bond market is signaling that the U.S. Federal Reserve will pivot "sooner than it expects."

Don't be surprised if economic data coming out over the next week kicks off a rally into the end of the year and potentially 2023, according to Andrew Slimmon, Morgan Stanley Investment Management's senior portfolio manager. The key period of data releases begins Friday with the producer price index, followed by November's consumer price index and another likely rate hike from the Federal Reserve next week. "The last time those were released they all led to rallies in the stock market because we had better inflation prints," he said. Like many investors, Slimmon expects a downturn ahead, given the inverted yield curve, but does not anticipate the "big earnings collapse," or downturn, many people are predicting in the first quarter. This is in part due to the fact that many consumers have beefed up savings in recent years given the proximity of the most recent recession.

At the same time, tech sector valuations remain well above the overall market, while analysts are dimming their profit outlooks for the group. That level, which is still above the 17 times earnings commanded by the S&P 500, is still too lofty for some investors. Still, some investors are considering increasing their positions in tech and megacap stocks if further evidence of easing inflation presents itself. Higher yields can weigh heavily on tech and growth stocks, whose valuations tend to be based heavily on future profits that are discounted more severely as yields go higher. The firm has been underweight large-cap tech and growth stocks, preferring small cap and value shares, Lip said.

☆ Markets will rally into year-end, says Morgan Stanley's Slimmon, who names 3 stocks to buy

The market will rally into the year end, but it won't be led by mega-cap tech stocks, according to Morgan Stanley's Andrew Slimmon. He added that these Big Tech stocks "floated right through" the 2008 global financial crisis because they were still gaining market share. He noted that this time, the bounce has been led by value stocks, while growth stocks drove the summer rally. The outperformance in value stocks has been pretty broad, covering energy, financials and industrials, he said. "While early, we think it makes sense to begin to nibble on early-cycle stocks ... consumer discretionary names that have been crushed," Slimmon added.
