News that moved our outlook

  • September 24, 2026 · the consumer staples sector

    the extended US-China trade truce

    The US and China extended their trade truce into January, and farm trade is where tariffs are most likely to ease. That favours grain traders such as ADM and Bunge over other consumer staples companies.

    What we changedWe raised our expected return for Archer-Daniels-Midland and Bunge Global SA against the rest of the consumer staples sector.

  • September 23, 2026 · the real estate sector

    Treasury yields at their highest since 2007

    With Treasury yields at their highest since 2007, landlords whose long, fixed-rent leases behave like bonds, such as Realty Income, lose ground to landlords whose rents reset more quickly, such as Prologis.

    What we changedWe raised our expected return for Prologis, and lowered it for Realty Income.

    US tariffs on Chinese solar products

    The US will put new tariffs and price floors on imported polysilicon and solar panels from December, aimed mainly at Chinese supply, and has moved to stop importers stockpiling ahead of them. Hanwha Solutions and OCI Holdings make solar products inside the US, so the protection favours them over other Korean companies.

    What we changedWe raised our expected return for Hanwha Solutions and OCI Holdings against the rest of large Korean companies.

  • September 23, 2026 · the financial sector

    rising private-credit risk

    JPMorgan's chief warned that losses in private credit will be worse than expected, and the bank has cut back its lending to private-credit funds. Asset managers with large private-credit businesses bear that risk more directly than the big banks.

    What we changedWe raised our expected return for JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, and lowered it for Apollo Global Management, Ares Management, KKR and Blackstone.

  • September 23, 2026 · the consumer discretionary sector

    Treasury yields at their highest since 2007

    The Fed raised rates for the first time since 2023 and signalled more, and Treasury yields reached their highest since 2007. Higher mortgage rates make homes harder to afford, which weighs on homebuilders more than on other consumer companies.

    What we changedWe lowered our expected return for D.R. Horton, Lennar, PulteGroup and NVR against the rest of the consumer discretionary sector.
