  • Morgan Stanley is telling clients to continue investing in high quality cyclical stocks, specifically those that have priced in bad news.

Morgan Stanley advises investors to focus on stocks that have already accounted for negative news, as the S&P 500 appears to be in a holding pattern. According to a note from Morgan Stanley's equity strategists led by Michael Wilson, the market is currently in a "bad news is bad news" environment, where negative developments are fully reflected in stock prices. They suggest that investors should look for stocks with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations that have already experienced significant price declines due to bad news. This strategy is based on the belief that these stocks are likely to rebound once the market sentiment improves. The note also highlights that the S&P 500's performance has been lackluster, with the index struggling to break out of its current range, further supporting their recommendation to seek out stocks that have already priced in negative news.
