In this article, we will look at the 10 Best Commodity Stocks to Buy for the Supercycle.
On May 20, Katherine Bordlemay, Co-Head of Equity Client Portfolio Management at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, appeared on CNBC’s ‘Closing Bell Overtime’ to discuss the day’s market action.
She stated that while she is concerned about the high rate, high oil environment, ultimately, the underpin is earnings growth. The recent earnings season showed us that US companies are growing at 28% year-over-year, and outside of Covid, this is actually the best earnings season we have seen in almost 20 years. She believes that something even more remarkable is that while the markets are very narrow, earnings are very broad. Ultimately, earnings are going to be the anchor that supports stocks on the path to success.

Bordlemay agreed that earnings growth has been broad, in the sense that most companies have shown growth, even though the proportion of that growth and the forward revision still seems to be dominated by the AI tech theme. The magnitude does get to be higher on the AI side, and we are also seeing a step up in profitability, ultimately, in particular for the companies linked to the AI trade, according to her.
