At Extreme Investor Network, we understand the importance of staying informed about the latest trends and developments in the investment world. Recently, Wall Street closed out July on a high note, with the S & P 500 rallying 1.6% in its best daily performance since late February. This surge not only erased the index’s monthly losses but also led to a 1.1% gain for the month overall.
While the Nasdaq Composite also saw a strong increase of 2.6%, the real story of the month was the rotation of investors out of large-cap tech stocks and into smaller, beaten-down names. This shift resulted in small caps experiencing their best monthly performance in a long time, with the Russell 2000 soaring 10.1% in July – its largest one-month gain since December.
Looking ahead, analysts at Bank of America anticipate that this trend will continue, with a focus on cyclical stocks tied to the economic cycle. In particular, they believe that the transition of AI from a “tell me” to a “show me” story will lead to increased scrutiny on investments and revenue generation.
In light of these developments, top analysts on Wall Street are making bold calls, such as Morgan Stanley’s upgrade of GE Vernova to overweight from equal weight. Analyst Andrew Percoco sees GEV as a key player in the ongoing energy transition investment cycle, making it a compelling opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on gas power, renewables, and grid expansion/enhancement.
