शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Will European Equities Outperform the S&P? - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

This is the markets.

I'm Chris Hussey and today is Thursday June 4th

and I'm joined from the Goldman Sachs trading floor in London

by Sharon Bell who is our European portfolio strategist within Goldman Sachs research.

Sharon thanks so much for taking time with us on the markets.

Thank you.

So let's you know go right into your specialty which is European equities.

Stocks are up a lot this year.

What's driving the rally.

Yep.

So Europe is at close to all time highs.

hasn't performed as well as the US or Asia

but it's bounced a lot from the lows

and I think the reason Europe's bounced

so much is the earnings have been quite strong obviously the energy stocks you've seen earnings rise for energy companies

because of higher oil and gas prices

but it's not just energy companies the whole commodity complex is doing very well utilities mining companies for example

but also financials with higher interest rates chemicals have been doing well in terms of earnings so

if I look at the suite of European companies then actually earnings estimates have been upgraded on average by six

or seven percent this year.

You have had some downgrades but that's been in consumer discretionary areas of the market.

But net net it's been upgrades and I think that's really driven the rally.

Okay Sharon you mentioned a bunch of different sectors.

You didn't really mention tech though.

Without tech is there more to go in a European rally?

Yeah Europe has got some tech and tech has also been seeing upgrades as well.

It's not as big as you point out as it is in Asia

or the US but tech is also helping to drive European earnings

so I think

if you look overall in Europe it's got some tech not

as much as elsewhere it's got energy it's got other areas

that have done reasonably well like heavy asset companies companies like

industrials utilities energy defense aerospace companies all seeing upgrades as to

whether you've got more to go yes we've recently upgraded our

stock 600 forecast we're now looking WE ARE WORKING FOR 660 ON THAT INDEX OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.

THAT IS AN UPGRADE COMPARED TO PREVIOUSLY.

THE REASON WE HAVE DONE THAT IS BECAUSE EARNINGS HAVE BEEN GOOD AND THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN MORE RESILIENT THAN EXPECTED.

IT'S NOT AS STRONG AS YOU SEE IN THE U.S.

BUT YOU ARE NOT IN RECESSION.

GERMANY CONTINUES TO SPEND FISCALLY JUST AS THE PLAN WAS LAID OUT LAST YEAR.

YOU ARE STARTING TO SEE THAT FISCAL SPEND COME THROUGH.

here because in the U.S., of course, it's been a concentrated rally.

You were talking about so many different parts of Europe that have been doing well.

Is Europe less concentrated than the U.S.?

A simple answer is yes.

It is much less concentrated than the U.S., and you see that in a couple of different ways.

One way, you take the top 10 companies, the largest 10 companies, in the U.S., they make up 40 percent of the index.

In Europe, Europe's top 10 companies make up just 15 percent of the entire index market cap.

So very, very different.

Not only that, that 40 percent I mentioned for the U.S is a high, more or less, whereas in the case of Europe, top 10 companies make up 15 percent.

And that's actually at the lower end of the concentration that Europe has seen historically.

So, no, I don't think Europe is as concentrated as the U.S.

There's another way of looking at it as well, which is what's been driving returns.

Has it been a narrow breadth of companies or has it been a wider breadth of companies in the U.S.?

Not only is the US market concentrated in terms of size of companies and market cap, it's also concentrated in terms of returns.

Very few companies have driven the returns in the US.

In Europe, it's been a bit broader.

There has been similar themes.

Keep that in mind that you've had energy, tech, AI, and some of the companies which have been in other sectors have been driven by those same themes.

So industrials, utilities, for example, you need to power the AI revolution are all drivers.

And in that sense, similar themes have driven the European market as the U.S., but it's been much less concentrated in terms of number of stocks.

Does that lack of concentration in Europe give it more legs to a rally, or do you feel like it is too insulated from the AI trade to do that?

I think it's not completely insulated from the AI trade.

It's got a lot of potential there.

it's got exposure to AI via obviously the tech companies themselves

but also the utilities companies by the need for energy Europe is undersupplied in energy needs to improve those networks

and grids and the companies doing

that are great investments we think industrials this is an area

that Europe is well known for very high quality industrials

and their demand

and their businesses are very much driven by AI demand data centers at the moment CapEx as well

and And then it's not just an AI driven trade.

You've also seen investment by Germany, for example, in more defense, more infrastructure.

Europe generally has a lack of infrastructure and defense spending in recent years.

So you're seeing European companies win a lot of that business and do very well.

So I think, yes, it's not AI, it's one part of it, but it's broader than that.

No, it is broader than that that.

Help me understand this, because at the beginning of the call, you mentioned that while Europe is doing great, it's actually not doing as great as U.S or even Asia.

What is your view going forward?

Can Europe outperform?

So it's not our view.

Our base case is that you get positive returns from Europe, and we have upgraded our index forecast, but we would still have the U.S and Asia outperforming.

Why is that?

So we would have the US outperforming because it's got big hyperscalers where we're expecting pretty good returns.

And we're looking for an economy which actually is growing quite nicely in the next couple of years in the US.

So we do think the US market continues to outperform.

Asia as well, we see driven by earnings, driven by the semi-stocks and driven by the tech sector.

For Europe, it's broader.

So you've got the diversification benefit when you invest in Europe.

And you also have some value benefit as well.

But I do have lower returns in Europe because the European economy is, after all, more hit by the higher energy prices.

We don't have energy independence in the same way that, say, the U.S does.

So I see lower returns, but still positive.

I'm looking for about high single digits, let's say, total return for Europe in the next 12 months.

So we're at that point in the Markets podcast where I normally ask, what's the trade?

But you're not a trader.

You're a strategist.

So I'm going to ask you, what's the investment?

Where do you want to put your money here?

100

Yeah, and that's an interesting question because I think there's potential for shorter term trades and things like consumer discretionary companies.

101

If and when the Straits of the Moos open and you see more flow of oil or prices come down, energy costs reduce, then I could see a bounce in some of these companies that have been sold off.

102

But I think the longer term investment, which is what you're really asking me, is still in those structural winners.

103

So we would call, for example, for halo stocks to do well.

104

That's heavy assets, low obsolescence companies, companies that did not do well over the decade or decade and a half after the financial crisis.

105

Then you want to just be purely digital assets.

106

None of these heavy assets types companies, heavy capital companies think they would do well.

107

And by that, I mean things like utilities,

108

telecoms, industrials, even energy companies that are investing and have good assets and can make return on those assets.

109

And I think Europe has a lot of those.

110

I also like our renewables companies, defense companies, aerospace companies.

111

I think the tech sector in Europe trades at a discount to similar companies elsewhere in the world.

112

Banks as well.

113

We think interest rates will be higher for longer, and that will help the bank sector.

114

Okay, Sharon, what are you looking for in the summer ahead?

115

I think the absolutely crucial thing for Europe particularly is a reopening of the Straits of Hormuz

116

and some topping out and decline in energy prices.

117

I think

118

that is absolutely key keys for confidence in the economy key for investors particularly domestic investors would like to see

119

that in order to start feeling more confident and buying the market.

120

We've got a lot of big IPOs coming through in the U.S seeing how those are absorbed as well.

121

We'll also be important for European equities.

122

So the straights of the moves, those big IPOs, and of course we have an earning season coming up the second quarter.

123

How have companies digested the higher energy prices?

124

What's their resilience like?

125

Those will all be absolutely crucial for Europe.

126

Okay.

127

One last question for you Sharon.

128

Can England win the World Cup?

129

Well we have a 5% chance of England winning the World Cup.

130

Our economists, not me, our economists crunched all the data.

131

They put Spain as the likely winners.

132

So European European country.

133

So they put Spain I think it's 25 or 26 percent chance of Spain winning.

134

Then France.

135

Unfortunately England my home 5 percent chance haven't won since 1966 but you never know.

136

Well I do know it's going to be Argentina.

137

But Sharon thanks so much for taking the time with us here on the markets.

138

That's great thank you.

139
