JPMorgan Warns of Stocks Complacency as Earnings Outlook Dims
(Bloomberg) -- Signs of stock-market complacency are emerging as the searing equities rally coincides with an acceleration in earnings downgrades, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. quantitative strategists. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Milan Corruption Probe Casts Shadow Over Property Boom How San Jose's Mayor Is Working to Build an AI Capital Stocks have bounced back from April's slump at an even faster pace than after the Covid pandemic, sending the MSCI World Index and many regional benchmarks to record highs. At the same time, consensus data shows downgrades outpacing upgrades sharply in global earnings revisions, the JPMorgan team led by Khuram Chaudhry said. 'There appears to be an environment of bullish sentiment, speculation, and a growing air of complacency,' they wrote. 'Either sell-side analysts are about to start a new round of upward revisions or the market is at risk of suffering a period of increased volatility and draw-downs. Something has to give!' Net revisions for global earnings have slid 14.3% on a one-month basis and 18.7% over three months. For now, the US shows fewer cuts, thanks to strength in sectors like technology, they said, while regions like Asia and Europe face accelerating earnings-per share downgrades. Guidance in Europe has been weak, given the uncertainty around tariffs, with a slew of profit warnings, especially in the chemical sector. In the US, expectations are high for the Big Tech names after a 35% surge in the Nasdaq 100 since its April low. Cracks could still emerge in the second half, the analysts said. 'The US market is thriving on sectors like Technology and the 'Magnificent 7' stocks, fueled by the Generative AI trend,' they wrote. 'Yet cracks and volatility are increasingly likely in the second half. Investors should be on the lookout for a potential market rotation!' UK Profit Warnings Citing Geopolitics Hit a Record High, EY Says For those expecting looser monetary policy to boost the market, the three to four cuts priced in over the coming 12 months shouldn't be taken as a positive, Chaudhry and his team said.

As merger talk heats up, deep bench will advise rail regulator
While investors and railroads are reportedly exploring what would likely touch off the final round of Class I mergers, the regulatory chief who will help decide the issue has put together a deep bench of rail, shipper, and policy executives to help evaluate prospective deals as well as manage reforms at the agency. Also, a source familiar with the board's plans said, in recent months, the agency has prioritized strengthening its data and economic expertise, including through contracts and staffing. The temporary expert hires as of May include Sharon Clark, who most recently retired as senior vice president regulatory affairs & compliance for Perdue AgriBusiness (. Clark worked at Perdue for 25 years, and has four decades of expertise in agricultural rail shipping, including with The Andersons (NASDAQ: ANDE) and Cargill . Clark also worked for trade groups in various capacities for the National Grain and Feed Association, National Grain Car Council, National Oilseed Processors Association Transportation Committee, North America Freight Car Association, and the National Freight Transportation Association. Former BNSF and CN (NYSE: CN) executive Rob Reilly also joined the STB in May. Reilly has more than 30 years in rail operations, most recently as executive vice president-president and chief operating officer at Canadian National, where he improved safety records along with multiple service and efficiency marks. First at the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Co. and then BNSF, Reilly ascended to vice president of operations for the southern transcon route reporting to longtime CEO Matt Rose. Consultant Chris Bertram held senior positions in the U.S. House of Representatives, Senate, and the Executive Branch in transportation policy and finance. The FAST Act, the longest surface transportation bill in 17 years, was enacted during his term as House Transportation & Infrastructure staff director, along with reauthorization of the STB and Amtrak, and he also served as chief financial officer for the Department of Transportation. Looking ahead, the board, which issues approximately 400 decisions each year, will have complex tasks ahead. The STB's tougher merger rules established in 2001 have never been tested; the Canadian Pacific (NYSE: CP)-Kansas City Southern tie-up was granted a waiver because of the latter's extensive operations in Mexico. As it is currently constituted, the board counts four members evenly split along party lines. Expectations are that a fifth member could be recommended in 2026 but no candidates have been publicly identified, and any approval timeline is uncertain. There has been no official confirmation of reports of merger discussions between Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) , or BNSF and CSX (NASDAQ: CSX); BNSF owner Warren Buffet on Tuesday denied his company had engaged Goldman Sachs to explore opportunities. But there is already speculation that eventually two mergers, each with extensive evaluations with lengthy timelines — may move along the adjudication process on concurrent tracks.
