Equity investors hoping for a reprieve in the new year after a brutal 2022 are likely to be disappointed, according to Michael Kantrowitz at Piper Sandler & Co.
The strategist, ranked No. 3 in the last year’s Institutional Investor survey, predicts that the S&P 500 will fall 16 per cent to 3,225. The price target is the lowest among Wall Street prognosticators tracked by Bloomberg.
Should that call come true, it’d be the first time since 2002 — and only the fifth time in almost a century — that the benchmark index suffered at least two consecutive years of double-digit declines. While admitting that history is not on the side of bears, Kantrowitz says the market is contending with something unusual: a Federal Reserve hellbent to fight inflation. As it takes time for higher borrowing costs to work through the economy, he argues, the hit to corporate earnings is likely to extend well into next year. “There is more pain ahead for equities as the knock-on effects of 2022’s bond bear market and global policy tightening begin to show up in corporate earnings and cyclical market risks,” Kantrowitz said in an interview. “In many ways we are in an uncommon backdrop.” The bleak view stands out in a crowd where many expect the bear market to reach a bottom during the first half before mounting a recovery. The average year-end target among strategists surveyed by Bloomberg in December sees the S&P 500 rising 6 per cent to 4,078.
