1. @NAI500: Earnings and data-intensive releases, 2 homebuilder stocks opportunities coming?

Key Points:

  • Overall, total building permits fell 8.8% to an annualized 1.413 million units in March. Clearly, the weak rental market has impacted multi-family housing starts and building permits.

  • Donald R. Horton, chairman of $D.R. Horton(DHI)$, said that despite rising mortgage rates and inflationary pressures, demand picked up this quarter thanks to seasonal factors as well as stimulus measures and pricing adjustments. In addition, while high interest rates and economic uncertainty will persist for some time, the supply of affordable new and existing homes remains limited, while demographics remain supportive of housing demand.

  • $PulteGroup(PHM)$ announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a $1.0 billion increase to the Company’s share repurchase authorization. This increase brings the Company’s total share repurchase authorization to $1.2 billion. Over the past decade, PulteGroup has returned over $6 billion to its shareholders through the payment of dividends and share repurchases.

2. @TechnicalHunter: Technology Stocks Going to Fall? Are These 5 Reasons Enough?

Key Points:

  • $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ rose 11% on Tuesday, and the CNN Fear and Greed Index shows bullish sentiment is on the rise. Generally speaking, bulls want to see negative or neutral sentiment so that the market can climb over the so-called "wall of worry."

  • Medical stocks outperformed the market: When the medical sector performs strongly, it often reflects the market's "risk aversion" tendency. While tech stocks have lagged recently, healthcare-related stocks like $DexCom(DXCM)$ , $Merck(MRK)$ , and $Intuitive Surgical(ISRG)$ have outperformed the market by a wide margin.

  • Although the medium-term trend of technology stocks is still upward, there are some subtle signs under the surface that this sector may have a short-term pullback demand. Investors should make certain adjustments to their portfolios accordingly, and once the technology stocks collectively decline after the large-cap technology stock earnings report this week, you can have enough funds to cover positions.

3. @ShenGuang: Banks Down, Big Tech Up?

Key Points:

  • Broadly, while the banking sector's prospects were imputed with bearish expectations by analysts, big banks did marginally better while smaller banks generally didn't. Now, classical market empiricism suggests that while the consumer discretionary sector is supposed to be attractive in a recessionary period, financials tend to hold firm. Classical market empirics no longer hold true.

  • The preponderance of Big Tech in the Top 25 - and its relative impact on the economic bellwether - has been increasing over the past years. "Technology" had gone from comprising a little under 15% of the S&P 500 to nearly a third.

  • This lends strength to the notion that flows into large-cap stocks are informing market trajectories more than the rest of the market itself. Also, given that government debt exposure remains a niche interest, this flow is also driven by limited access to viable alternatives. In other words, a significant portion of these flows follow a form of self-preservation which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: as their valuations fall, smaller companies will find it increasingly harder to secure financing and challenge the status quo. One means of growth would be to collaborate/enjoin with the top-of-the-line which further biases survivability.

    the drop of the banks is really worrying due to the fact that banking sector is the backbone of one country's economy. the tech sector would need a slow down to refuel its momentum to raise more is a something bound to happen. however, I've just realized that pharmaeutical sector is a risk avoidance sector. that's something new to me.

    I have posted an article on rotation, though we are seeing good positive earnings from Big Tech, on the other hand, health care and therapeutic stocks can be look into as defensive stocks. Do be cautious on regional bank stocks, deposits and cost of maintaining deposits will always be a challenge to smaller banks.
