analysts prefer holding value stocks over more expensive growth names, but see a handful of traps dotting the investing landscape.
Several gauges used by the bank identify the stock market as extraordinarily expensive. For one, the S&P 500 sits at record highs roughly five months after bottoming out on virus fears, despite the pandemic's economic damage still looming. Stretched valuations across the market's darlings leave the best opportunities in value picks, the team led by Savita Subramanian said in a Tuesday note. However, certain inexpensive stocks pose a major threat to investors and should be avoided at current levels, they added.
The bank screened for companies and sectors that are inexpensive because relative prices are declining faster than their earnings. Though such stocks may seem like appealing buys at first, the analysts warn that their earnings deterioration can continue and leave investors with a rapidly depreciating asset.GOLDMAN SACHS: The stocks most loved by hedge funds have smashed the market this year. Here are 15 that those investors flooded into last quarter.
Some sectors are fraught with traps specifically due to possible de-rating on pandemic-related risks, the team said, including real estate investment trusts. Others, such as telecom and multi-utilities stocks, have simply underperformed the broader market for too long, and generally need an external booster to drive shares out of their downward spiral.
