Best stock picks for 2023: Here are Wall Street analysts’ most heavily favored choices

[ad_1]

Following a sharp and sustained rise in interest rates, U.S. stocks have taken a broad beating this year.

But 2023 may bring very different circumstances.

Below are lists of analysts’ favorite stocks among the benchmark S&P 500
SPX,
the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index
MID
and the S&P Small Cap 600 Index
SML
that are expected to rise the most over the next year. Those lists are followed by a summary of opinions of all 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA.

Stocks rallied on Dec. 13 when the November CPI report showed a much slower inflation pace than economists had expected. Investors were also anticipating the Federal Open Market Committee’s next monetary policy announcement on Dec. 14. The consensus among economists polled by FactSet is for the Federal Reserve to raise the federal funds rate by 0.50% to a target range of 4.50% to 4.75%.

A 0.50% increase would be a slowdown from the four previous increases of 0.75%. The rate began 2022 in a range of zero to 0.25%, where it had sat since March 2020.

A pivot for the Fed Reserve and the possibility that the federal funds rate will reach its “terminal” rate (the highest for this cycle) in the near term could set the stage for a broad rally for stocks in 2023.

Wall Street’s large-cap favorites

Among the S&P 500, 92 stocks are rated “buy” or the equivalent by at least 75% of analysts working for brokerage firms. That number itself is interesting — at the end of 2021, 93 of the S&P 500 had this distinction. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has declined 16% in 2022, with all sectors down except for energy, which has risen 53%, and the utilities sector, which his risen 1% (both excluding dividends).

Here are the 20 stocks in the S&P 500 with at least 75% “buy” or equivalent ratings that analysts expect to rise the most over the next year, based on consensus price targets:

Most of the companies on the S&P 500 list expected to soar in 2023 have seen large declines in 2022. But the company at the top of the list, EQT Corp.
EQT,
is an exception. The stock has risen 69% in 2022 and is expected to add another 62% over the next 12 months. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to double during 2023 (in part from its expected acquisition of THQ), after nearly a four-fold EPS increase in 2022.

Shares of Amazon.com Inc.
AMZN
are expected to soar 50% over the next year, following a decline of 46% so far in 2022. If the shares were to rise 50% from here to the price target of $136.02, they would still be 18% below their closing price of 166.72 at the end of 2021.

The Dow industrials are on the verge of a ‘golden cross,’ even as BlackRock predicts recession like no other

[ad_1]

Despite worries about inflation and an impending recession, there is at least one sign that some bullish market technical analysts might latch onto.

An upbeat golden cross appears to be forming in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA,
-0.90%,
more than nine months after a bearish death cross formed back in March, as the hawkish agenda of the Federal Reserve shattered bullishness on Wall Street.

A golden cross occurs when the 50-day moving average for an asset price trades above the 200-day MA, while a death cross, comparatively, is when the 50-day falls below the long-term average.

The 50-day moving average for the Dow stands at 32,200.32, at last check Friday afternoon, while the 200-day sits at 32,460.71, a roughly 260-point difference that could be traversed in the coming week or two, based on its current trajectory.

FactSet

A golden cross would mark the first for the Dow industrials since 2020 of August, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

The bullish chart formation also would appear at an odd time for investors, with an apparent uptrend materializing in the stock market, even as the threat of a recession in 2023 grows.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is anticipating a unique recession unlike others that we’ve seen in U.S. history.

“The new macro regime is playing out. We think that requires a new, dynamic playbook based on views of market risk appetite and pricing of macro damage,” wrote BlackRock’s Investment Institute team led by Jean Boivin.

The BlackRock team said markets aren’t necessarily pricing in the recession that is being predicted.

“Central banks appear set on doing ‘whatever it takes’ to fight inflation, making recession foretold, in our view,” the team at BlackRock wrote.

As MarketWatch’s Tomi Kilgore notes, crosses, overall, aren’t necessarily good market-timing indicators.

Check out: MarketWatch’s live blog of the market

On top of that, MarketWatch columnist Mark Hulbert concludes that the U.S. stock market on average has performed no better in the wake of a golden crosses as it did at other times.

In many cases, a golden cross can help put an asset’s move into perspective, however, they tend to be well telegraphed.

Interestingly, the recession is also being widely predicted and some don’t think investors are getting the memo. As BlackRock notes, investors aren’t reflecting the damage that is to come, particularly as earnings expectations from American companies are right-sized.

So, it might be worth it for investors to take any golden crosses in assets with a grain of salt.

So far, the Dow industrials have outperformed over the past three months, up about 5%, compared with a decline of 2.5% for the S&P 500
SPX,
-0.73%
and an 8.2% drop for the Nasdaq Composite
COMP,
-0.70%.

Over the past three months, the Dow industrials have recent in aggregate on the back of gains in shares of Caterpillar
CAT,
-1.56%,
Boeing Co.
BA,
+0.20%
Merck & Co.
MRK,
-1.86%,
IBM
IBM,
-0.47%
and Travelers Cos.
TRV,
-1.10%.

For the year so far, the Dow is down 7%, while the S&P 500 is off 17% and the Nasdaq is down nearly 30%.

Incident IQ Releases Integration With LocknCharge

[ad_1]

API-driven integration streamlines spare K-12 device distribution and monitoring with LocknCharge FUYL Towers

Press Release

Nov 15, 2022 10:00 EST

ATLANTA, November 15, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
Incident IQ, the workflow management platform built for school districts, released an integration with LocknCharge—a leading manufacturer of smart lockers that charge, secure, and manage mobile classroom technology such as laptops, tablets, iPads and Chromebooks. With this integration, technicians can easily assign LocknCharge Smart Locker bays for students, staff, and teachers to exchange and pick up mobile devices.

This integration between Incident IQ and LocknCharge helps schools easily distribute working devices to students and staff. When a user submits a help ticket for a lost or broken device, technicians can quickly assign a functioning device directly from the Incident IQ help ticket. Once the user has received the location of a LocknCharge FUYL Tower and a unique PIN code, they can easily retrieve their loaner device.

This integration not only streamlines device assignment workflows, but it also improves device visibility for IT teams. Every step of the process is logged within Incident IQ—providing K-12 IT teams with a detailed timeline of each step of a device swap. Furthermore, districts can utilize LocknCharge’s secure lockers to dispense technology accessories, paperwork, and more.

“With more devices in the field than ever before, this integration is a great solution for reliably distributing devices to students and teachers,” said Jorgen Von Tangen, VP of Apps & Integrations. “LocknCharge FUYL Towers offer secure access points to drop off and pick up new devices. Our mission at Incident IQ is to support teaching and learning, and having a working device is essential to that goal. This partnership between Incident IQ and LocknCharge keeps functional devices in students’ hands and delivers detailed asset visibility for IT teams.”

“Together, the integration between LocknCharge Smart Lockers and Incident IQ enables end-to-end device management by automating the physical distribution and collection of devices,” said LocknCharge owner and CEO James Symons.

“Contactless self-service saves IT teams, educators, and students significant time every day by providing secure, 24/7/365 access to loaner devices. Given the importance of technology to learning, streamlining this process reduces device downtime to minutes ensuring students don’t fall behind in class.”

The LocknCharge integration for Incident IQ is available for districts using LocknCharge Smart Locker Solutions.

Incident IQ Releases New Integration for Lexicon Tech Solutions

[ad_1]

API-driven integration streamlines hardware repair processes and improves asset visibility for K-12 support teams

Press Release

Nov 3, 2022

ATLANTA, November 3, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
Incident IQ, the workflow management platform built for K-12 school districts, released an integration with Lexicon Tech Solutions to better facilitate hardware repairs and spare device management. Incident IQ features help ticketing and asset management solutions for K-12 schools, and with this new integration, K-12 IT teams can quickly manage break-fix workflows and spare device assignment directly from an Incident IQ help ticket.

With Incident IQ’s AlwaysLearning integration, technicians can initiate a repair request straight from an Incident IQ help ticket, which initiates Lexicon’s end-to-end repair process. IT technicians begin the repair process with a click, hand a spare device to a student, and Lexicon’s AlwaysLearning™ technicians handle the rest—from picking up damaged devices, replenishing spare device inventories at schools, and completing component-level device repairs at a Lexicon repair facility.

The API-driven integration automatically updates the status of the device during each step of the repair and return process, so district IT support teams can readily view the status of every device under a Lexicon AlwaysLearning service contract directly from Incident IQ.

“Incident IQ is focused on streamlining workflows for support teams so that teaching and learning can flourish, and Lexicon Tech Solutions is a partner in that mission,” said Jorgen von Tangen, VP of Apps & Integrations at Incident IQ. “This integration lets technicians immediately initiate a device repair and assign a spare device right from an iiQ help ticket, minimizing downtime and keeping working devices in student hands. Having our two platforms working together in such close coordination saves districts enormous amounts of technician time, while also helping districts get the most out of their K-12 technology budget.”

“Districts reduce costs by learning how things go wrong,” said Josh King, Lexicon CEO. “Having Lexicon’s deep-dive analytics immediately available to look at failure rates and what’s breaking by component, school, or even grade-level is a huge win with the iiQ integration.”

The AlwaysLearning integration is available from Incident IQ for iiQ user districts with a Lexicon Tech AlwaysLearning™ service contract.

About Incident IQ

Incident IQ is the workflow management platform built exclusively for K-12 schools, featuring asset management, help ticketing, facilities maintenance solutions, and more. Millions of students and teachers in more than 1,100 districts across 49 states rely on the Incident IQ platform to manage and deliver mission-critical services.

As school districts continue to rely on more technology in today’s classrooms, Incident IQ offers advanced integrations that provide data-rich help requests to K-12 IT teams, while being easy to use for end-users. ClassLink’s single sign-on platform gives teachers and students access to classroom resources with a single login. Using this integration, tech support is only a click away, providing users with immediate access to support workflows.

“Keeping classroom time dedicated to teaching and learning is essential for Incident IQ and ClassLink,” said Matthew Krivanek, Vice President of Marketing. “Incident IQ and ClassLink work together to eliminate the unnecessary back-and-forth that can come with classroom technology support. This integration allows teachers and students instant access to the Incident IQ platform and relevant support workflows using their ClassLink credentials, returning more time to teaching and learning, instead of troubleshooting tech issues. We are dedicated to providing a supportive, streamlined support environment for K-12 districts through our continued partnership with ClassLink.”

“As schools increase and depend on their edtech investments, this partnership ensures teachers and students spend their time on learning, not struggling to access or use these amazing apps and tools,” explains Patrick Devanney, ClassLink’s Senior VP of Strategy and Partnerships. “We are proud to work with Incident IQ to further our goal of simplifying tech use, improving access, and reducing interruptions in learning.”
