[There's a Real Possibility the Fed can Engineer a Soft Landing]( [Click here to read full article.]( CNBCâs Jim Cramer on Tuesday said that he believes the Federal Reserve could manage to tamp down inflation without throwing the economy into a recession. âIf we can see the end of the purchasing spree ⦠itâs a huge positive for stocks. It helps that weâve finally worked out the kinks in the supply chain that were creating shortages all over the place. Put it all together, and thereâs a real possibility the Fed can indeed engineer that fabled soft landing for the economy,â he said. Stocks rose on Tuesday after October producer price index data indicated that inflation is cooling, just one week after a lighter-than-expected consumer price index report spurred a rally. âThe market hung in there, even in the face of some incredibly negative headlines,â Cramer said, pointing to the Associated Pressâ report that Russian missiles crossed into Poland, the FTX crypto collapse and uncertainty about the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections as examples. He added that in addition to the marketâs resilience, retailers likely had to offload their inventory at low prices last month, which could result in another deflationary tailwind. October retail sales data is set for release on Wednesday. âThatâs good for Ollieâs, great for TJX ⦠terrific for the consumer, amazing for the Fed, and therefore perfect for investors. The ultimate bad is a good Christmas story,â he said. Trending: [Top 10 Stocks for 2023]( [Goldman Sachs Sees ar Least 40% Gains in These 2 Stocks - Here's why they Could Soar]( The story for most of 2022 has been one of soaring inflation but with 2023 about to enter the frame, the plot appears to be taking a positive turn. The October inflation report came in much better than expected and took Wall Street by surprise. The good news, according to Goldman Sachsâ Chief Economist Jan Hatzius, is that the trend is set to continue into next year. âWe expect a significant decline in inflation next year, with the core PCE measure falling from 5.1% currently to 2.9% by December 2023,â said Hatzius. âOur forecast reflects three key factors: 1) the easing in supply chain constraints in the goods sector, 2) a peak in shelter inflation post-reopening, and 3) slower wage growth driven by the ongoing rebalancing of the labor market.â Despite recent gains, all the major indexes are still down for the year, with the NASDAQ, in particular, still firmly planted in bear territory. Meanwhile, Hatziusâ analyst colleagues at the banking giant have homed in on two names that are primed to shoot higher over the coming months â by the order of 40% or more. We ran these tickers through the TipRanks database to see what other Wall Streetâs analysts have to say about them. Hereâs the lowdown. Twilio Inc. (TWLO) Weâll start with Twilio, a leading CPaaS (communication platform as a service) company. Twilio provides a cloud communications platform that enables customer engagement via a set of programmable communication tools. The platform lets developers insert voice, messaging, video, and email abilities into their apps. That Twilio is at the forefront of this secular trend is clear to see from its enviable client list; it includes eBay, Shopify, Airbnb, IBM, Reddit, and Uber, amongst many others. Businesses are increasingly pivoting toward digital channels, a trend which only accelerated during the pandemic. Twilio stock was a major beneficiary and soared to giddy heights, but the tables have turned on former high-flying yet unprofitable growth names. Twilio has suffered badly from the change of sentiment. The shares have been obliterated to the tune of 79% year-to-date and took a proper thrashing just recently following the companyâs Q3 report. In the quarter, revenue climbed by 32.8% year-over-year to $983 million, in-line with Street expectations. The company delivered adj. EPS of -$0.27, beating the analystsâ call for -$0.35. So far, so good, however, investors sent shares tumbling due to a disappointing outlook; the company sees Q4 sales coming in between $995 million and $1.005 billion, while consensus was looking for $1.07 billion. While the stock has been trending south for most of the year, Goldman Sach analyst Kash Rangan is still a fan. Assessing the print, the analyst said, âWith a fundamental/valuation reset now in the rearview, we believe Twilio can better execute on its revenue/margin targets, due to: 1) Best-in-class communications suite and burgeoning software portfolio that remains under-penetrated relative to +$100bn TAM opportunity, and 2) Managementâs pivot to more disciplined growth should manifest in consistent margin accretion closer to the high-end of its 100-300 bps target range (leaner GTM org., layoffs/hiring slowdown, higher reliance on self-serve channel).â To this end, Rangan has a Buy rating on Twilio shares backed by a price target of $80. Should the figure be met, the stock will be changing hands for a 48% premium in twelve months time. Overall, TWLO holds a Moderate Buy rating from the analyst consensus view, based on 15 Buys, 8 Holds, and 1 Sell. The stockâs $84.04 average price target indicates room for about ~56% upside from the current share price of $53.88. Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son (NTB) The next Goldman-backed name weâll look at offers an entirely different value proposition. With its headquarters in Bermuda, the Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son provides a wide range of banking services, including corporate banking, retail banking and wealth management. Essentially, the bank serves as the holding company for an offshore banking operation with 10 worldwide locations but with a focus on Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, spots where it is a market leader. Revenues and earnings have been steadily rising throughout the year. In the latest quarterly report, for Q3, the top-line showed $141.1 million, amounting to a 13.2% increase on the same period a year ago, while also meeting Street expectations. Non-GAAP EPS of $1.16 beat the forecast, coming in $0.05 above the $1.11 consensus estimate. This allowed the company to support a solid dividend. NTB declared its Q4 dividend at 44 cents per common share. At the current rate, the dividend annualizes to $1.76 and brings a yield of 5.37%. The yield is almost triple the average found in the broader markets. All of this has Goldman Sachsâ Will Nance bullish on NTB. The analyst sees the stock as âa good opportunity to gain exposure to an extremely low risk balance sheet, with structurally higher returns relative to U.S. bank peers as a result of its tax neutral jurisdictions and its 30%+ market shares in its core markets of Bermuda and Cayman.â The analyst added, âWe believe this should drive attractive shareholder returns for income oriented investors and insulate the business from a slowdown in the broader economy.â [Continue reading article here.]( , 1919 Taylor Street STE F, Houston, TX 77007, United States You may [unsubscribe]( or [change your contact details]( at any time.
