Investors have begun to switch back to traditional growth stocks

On Thursday, the stock prices of Cisco, Alphabet, and IBM hit new highs. But more importantly, the previously unpopular speculative growth stocks, including stocks bought by many ARK funds, have now begun to rebound.

How is this going?

Investors' perspective on the market is changing. In the first quarter of this year, mainstream voices in the market believe that the economy will restart strongly, bond yields will rise, and inflation may become a problem later this year. After the end of the first quarter, these expectations were only partially fulfilled.

The U.S. economy has indeed restarted strongly, but bond yields fell in the first quarter instead of rising because investors began to believe:

1) Inflation and supply chain disruption may indeed be "temporary", as the Fed insists;

2) The second and third quarters will be the highest points of stock returns and economic growth.

Alec Young, a chief investment officer of Tactical Alpha, said: “Trading in value stocks is slowly declining, and those who are long-term bullish on growth stocks are reaping benefits. Bond yields are representative of growth prospects.” He pointed out that bond investors see inflation in the second half of the year. The growth rate will slow down.

This keeps investors in the stock market, but they are turning to defensive stocks (healthcare stocks) and growth stocks (tech stocks).

Why would investors switch back to growth stocks?

Alec Young commented: "The value is biased towards industrial, energy, materials and small-cap stocks, so they are very sensitive to economic changes. When coming out of the recession, value stocks are better investments and their earnings leverage is higher. ."

"But the problem now is that the U.S. economy has entered a period of recession at a very fast rate, and now it has emerged from the recession at a very fast rate. Now, growth stocks are more able to withstand the unpredictable effects of the business cycle than value stocks. Provide higher returns."

Ben Snider and David Kostin of Goldman Sachs agreed. They recently stated that "historical data, stock valuations, stock positions, and economic slowdowns indicate that the rotation from growth stocks to value stocks is about to pass."

The two Goldman Sachs bankers said: "Mutual funds value stocks more than ever. Although hedge funds still prefer growth stocks, they have been very cautious about growth stocks recently.

Palantir stock forecast 2025: What kind of company is PLTR?

PLTR introduced today may be the most controversial company in the current market, not one of them. As a stock, he is the faith stock of many retail investors.

PLTR stock forecast 2025： Long-term holding growth stocks Palantir

Today we are talking about Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR) the long-term growth stocks. I have been paying attention to Palantir for a long time before the listing, but after the direct listing, the stock price fluctuated greatly, and the market's valuation faced great divergence. In addition, Palantir chose 80% of the shares to lift the ban three trading days after the financial report. Therefore, I am also prepared to look at the market's reaction after the ban is lifted. However, the stock price did not fall sharply due to the large-scale lifting of the ban. In this round of growth stock valuations, the decline of Palantir is not too large, at about 20%, but the valuation is more attractive than before. From a perspective, I think Palantir is a company worth holding for a long time. Palantir was founded in 2003 as a big data company with founders Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings. Among them, the third and fo...

The stock market entering a bear market？

On March 6, 2020, the US stock market continued its decline today after a few days of rebound. Is this the beginning of a bear market in the stock market? Next, let's analyze one important indicator of entering the bear market, Treasury bonds yield. What is the yield of Treasury bonds? Treasury bonds are a tool issued by the state to raise funds. When the bonds are issued, they promise to repay the principal and interest on a specified date. The ratio of the return of Treasury bonds to the principal invested is the return of Treasury bonds. The main factors affecting bond yield include coupon rate, maturity, face value, holding time, purchase price, and sale price. Rising bond yields and falling bond prices mean investors are selling bonds, turning to invest activities, or entering the stock market. In a healthy economic environment, the longer the Treasury bonds, the higher the bond yield. Because short-term bonds are more liquid, investors are willing to accept lower ...

However, in the past few decades, compared with traditional IPOs, the number of SPACs is very limited, and ...
