Ryan Detrick, Carson Group\u2019s chief market strategist, sees the stock market rallying through year\u2019s end and continuing its bullish run well into 2024. He cites an economy that\u2019s on firm footing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, things are \u2018slowing down\u2019 some, but we like to say they are normalizing, not slowing down. Could we really keep growing at 400k jobs a month like last year? No, but a steady 150k to 200k is perfectly normal and in line with pre-COVID trends,\u201d he wrote in a column posted on the firm\u2019s blog<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consumer remains strong and incomes are growing at a very healthy clip as well. If we can avoid a recession next year \u2014 our base case \u2014 then we think the chances of a year with potential low double digits returns is quite likely,\u201d Detrick said.<\/p>\n

Carson Group expects a year-end rally and believes that stocks probably will reach all-time highs in 2024\u2019s first half. The following are three reasons for Detrick\u2019s bullishness.<\/p>\n

Strong Earnings<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen analysts continue to come in way too low on estimates and this trend likely continues. The third quarter was expected to see earnings fall slightly, now S&P 500 earnings are expected to come in up close to 6%,\u201d Detrick wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking ahead, companies in the S&P 500 now expect to see record profits over the next 12 months. You know what tends to happen when profits are at a record? Stocks tend to follow, something we expect to see in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

Profit margin expectations are increasing as well, despite talk for a year that they\u2019re too high and must fall, Detrick wrote. \u201cIf both profits and profit margins are increasing next year, that should be a nice tailwind for equities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Election Timing<\/h2>\n

Historically, pre-election years tend to see strong equity returns, especially when a first-term president is in office, \u201cwhich has played out nicely once again in 2023,\u201d Detrick noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
