"We think those hopes will be dashed again as the Fed pushes ahead with policy overtightening. With the S&P 500 jumping 13% from its October low, stocks are even further from pricing in the recession — and earnings downgrades — we see ahead."
Central to the downward surprises expected by BlackRock are earnings downgrades. While consensus expects earnings growth to fall from 10% at the start of 2022 to just over 4% in 2023, the world's largest investment manager expects zero growth, noting that third-quarter annual earnings growth would already be in negative territory without the huge windfalls seen in the energy sector.
"We need to see stocks fall more, or more good news of easing inflation, to turn positive on stocks," Boivin's team said.
