That made the horrendous downward revision delivered by Estee Lauder's management team extremely disappointing. Estee Lauder did offer up a new "Profit Recovery Plan," but the impact is not expected to kick in until fiscal years 2025 and 2026. Organic sales are expected to decline 10% to 8%, below the 3.6% estimate. Profit recovery plan Management attempted to mitigate investor frustration by announced a turnaround strategy. Quarterly commentary Skin care — Estee Lauder's highest-margin category — remained under pressure, primarily due to ongoing efforts to reduce and rebalance inventory levels in the Asia travel retail business.

Match Group , the parent company of dating apps Tinder and Hinge, is trading at its lowest price since it spun out into a separate company from IAC in July 2020. Analysts expressed concern about lower fourth-quarter revenue projections and a falling number of people paying for Tinder. "Beyond the guide, we suspect a key area of scrutiny will be around trends in Tinder payers. This metric was down 6% y/ y in 3Q (in line with guidance) – but MTCH called out a ~200K sequential headwind in 4Q as weekly subscribers churn out of the system." Match also agreed to use Google's User Choice Billing by March 31, 2024, which will oblige Match to pay a cut of subscription fees to Google.

The US economy is surging, with growth coming in at a hotter-than-expected 4.9% for the third quarter. But problems elsewhere could still be bad news for big US companies, including Apple and Tesla.

It's true the operating margin is expected to contract a bit from Tuesday's results. Latin America sales fell 31% due to lower sales volume that was only partially offset by higher prices. Higher prices also aided profitability, despite the dual headwinds of lower volumes and an unfavorable product mix. The adjusted operating profit margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be lower versus the third quarter result. All told, we believe the operating margin consensus on Wall Street needs an upward revision.

Shares of GE HealthCare surged roughly 5% Tuesday, to more than $66 apiece. Looking ahead to next year, our thesis is unchanged: GE HealthCare should be one of the big winners from recent advancements in Alzheimer's treatments. Last week, GE HealthCare's Dutch peer Phillips (PHG) said its orders fell 9% in the third quarter, marking its fifth-straight quarter of declines. The wide gap in orders between the two companies suggests to us that GE HealthCare is taking market share in the industry. Guidance GE HealthCare reaffirmed most of its 2023 outlook Tuesday.

The UAW on Sunday released parts of its tentative agreement with Ford, which was first announced last Wednesday. Modeled after the Ford agreement, the UAW reached a tentative labor deal with General Motors (GM) early Monday and one with Chrysler-parent Stellantis (STLA) on Saturday. The only third-quarter sales beat was in Ford Blue, its legacy internal combustion engine unit, which also includes hybrids. However, Ford Blue missed on EBIT (earnings before taxes and interest). We think the automaker can achieve these goals since it has support from its resilient Ford Blue segment, which continues to be profitable in all regions.

A trader works on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., October 27, 2023. October has lived up to its reputation for volatility, as a surge in Treasury yields and geopolitical uncertainty pressured stocks. Higher Treasury yields are seen as a headwind to stocks, in part because they compete with equities for buyers. More broadly, some believe the stock market's trading patterns this year point to a rebound in the fourth quarter. "The stock market is poised for a late Q4 rally."

The second largest contributor to real gross domestic product growth in the third quarter came from business inventories (1.3 percentage points). South Korea's KOSPI-100 equity index, which is usually a good proxy for global trade given its heavy weighting towards export-oriented firms, rebounded strongly through the end of July. But the index has since weakened, consistent with the renewed downturn in volumes shown in the global trade index. UNCERTAINTYUncertainty about the economic outlook and ambiguous data are usually greatest around turning points in the business cycle.

And Republican Rep. George Santos' extensive legal troubles will make it harder for the GOP to keep that Long Island-based district in the Republican column. Some already sounded resigned to serving in the minority during the past week's ups and downs in finding a new speaker, while others voiced hopes the passage of time will make the past three weeks a distant memory. This is Republicans fighting with Republicans, bullying Republicans, even threatening each other. That left House Republicans with the choice of funding the government or shutting it down over their opposition to the healthcare law, and they chose the latter. Further turmoil will only feed into the Democratic argument that House Republicans are incapable of governing.

HON YTD mountain Honeywell YTD Unfortunately, Honeywell hit a 52-week low in Thursday's terrible market. Moreover, guidance for the remainder of the year was mixed: Sales are expected to be better than we thought. Honeywell repurchased 5.3 million shares during the quarter, more than double the amount purchased in the second quarter. Additionally, for both the full year and the current quarter, earnings performance is being suppressed by pension liabilities. Qualitatively, continued volatility is expected but management believes they can deliver further growth, margin expansion, and cash growth "in line or above EPS growth."

The company on Thursday reported a 12.4% adjusted return on sales in its cars division in the third quarter. Mercedes-Benz described the market environment as "subdued", but Wilhelm said "we are beyond the worst" when it comes to inflation and energy pricing. Mercedes-Benz earlier this month reported a 4% drop in overall third-quarter sales, with top-end sales down 11%, partly caused by model changeovers and a shortage in 48-volt systems supplied by Bosch. Car revenue dipped 3.8% due to the fall in deliveries, but the average selling price remained stable, the company said.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos famously told rivals, "Your margin is my opportunity." His successor as CEO, Andy Jassy, is telling Wall Street about opportunities to increase margin. In its third-quarter earnings report on Thursday, Amazon reported an operating margin of 7.8%, the highest since it reached a record of 8.2% in the first quarter of 2021. But the world has changed since early last year, when Wall Street turned on tech and an extended bull market came to a halt. AWS revenue increased 12% in the quarter, a slower pace of expansion than what was reported by smaller rivals Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Despite the promise of generative AI to turbo-charge cloud computing sales, growth rates in the sector remains stalled for Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. All three cloud providers reported this week that cloud customers are still scrutinizing their IT budgets amid a shaky global economy. Cloud sales growth rates stalled this year as customers navigated rising inflation and destabilizing geopolitical conflicts. The company told investors the stalled growth was due to "customer optimization efforts" — a nicer word for cost-cutting. At the same time last year, Amazon Web Services sales were growing by more than double that rate.

Operating income increased over 340% to $11.12 billion, significantly exceeding forecasts of $7.7 billion, according to FactSet, and above the high-end of management's guidance. As a result, the operating income estimate is a more telling metric on how Amazon fared relative to Wall Street's expectations — and make no mistake, it was strong. In the Companywide part of the table, the cost of sales line-item came in above expectations at $75 billion.

To play this market, the firm recommended a "barbell" of traditional defensive stocks, some select growth opportunities and late-cycle cyclical names. Take a look below for some of Morgan Stanley's favorite stocks in this slow-growth environment. 1) Traditional Defensives Despite its year-to-date underperformance against the broader market, health care remains Morgan Stanley's preferred defensive sector.

When asked about the risk outlook, Carlyle Group CEO Harvey Schwartz, former president of Goldman Sachs, advised caution but remained positive about alpha opportunities. "But I think the year ahead will certainly present incredible alpha opportunities. It doesn't mean there won't be great alpha opportunities." Schwartz also highlighted the need to stay liquid in times of war to be best prepared for uncertainty. "I think certain geopolitical risk, particularly war — again the tragedy of war and the loss of life — I think those are very difficult to price in the near term.
