Fox Business: Michael Landsberg Discusses the Stock Market on Fox Business’ ‘Making Money with Charles Payne’
November 13, 2024
</div> <p><a href="https://landsbergbennett.com/michael-landsberg.html">Michael Landsberg</a>, Chief Investment Officer of <a href="https://landsbergbennett.com/">Landsberg Bennett Private Wealth Management</a>, appeared on Fox Business’s <em>Making Money with Charles Payne</em> to discuss his perspective on current market conditions, investor sentiment post-election, and opportunities in overlooked stocks.</p> <p>Landsberg highlighted the influence of anticipated regulation shifts and maintained an optimistic outlook on select stocks that, while not currently “hot,” are well-positioned for future growth.</p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p> <ol class="wp-block-list" type="1" start="1"> <li><strong>Post-Election Market Sentiment: </strong>Landsberg pointed out that the election results have stirred optimism due to the reduced likelihood of new taxes and regulatory burdens. “People hedged their bets going into the election, and now many find they’re behind the curve,” he said, suggesting that an environment with fewer tax hikes and lighter regulation bodes well for business.</li> <li><strong>Investor Caution vs. Market Optimism: </strong>When asked about potentially being overly optimistic, Landsberg cautioned that while fundamentals are strong, there remain specific sectors investors should approach cautiously. “There’s a lot of good tailwinds on S&P and NASDAQ names that I think investors want to continue to ride,” he stated, signaling a preference for larger-cap names with stable growth.</li> <li><strong>Small-Cap Stocks and Market Headwinds: </strong>Landsberg expressed skepticism toward small caps, particularly the Russell 2000 Index. He remarked, “The index has been a bad place to be,” noting its slow recovery from previous highs. While he supports select small-cap names, he emphasized that investors can find “easier gains” in larger-cap indices that currently show more momentum.</li> <li><strong>Energy Sector Opportunity: </strong>Turning to the energy sector, Landsberg highlighted the overlooked potential in energy-related companies, particularly those balancing traditional operations with new energy technologies. “This is a company with 60% oilfield business and 40% in energy tech, aiming to make drilling more efficient and profitable,” he explained, adding that growth in earnings per share (EPS) is projected to be over 25% in the coming years.</li> <li><strong>AI and Software Potential: </strong>Landsberg also emphasized opportunities in the software sector, with a focus on AI-integrated platforms. Speaking about a well-known software company, he stated, “This is an AI play that gets no love,” referring to its undervaluation compared to more hyped AI companies. He pointed out the strength of its products, like a new AI-driven video tool, adding that its foundational business and strong product lineup make it “a compelling choice in a crowded AI landscape.”</li> </ol> <p>Landsberg’s insights highlighted his approach of seeking growth in sectors benefiting from steady market forces and focusing on companies with strong fundamentals that are yet to gain widespread attention. His perspective suggests a balanced, strategic emphasis on both established and developing industries.</p> </p></div> </element></div> </div> </section><section class="outer-container element-container default padding-top-30 pb-5 nested container-fluid" id="ID6B2f5qBHINmfEpbhjgnoaL" > <div class="row outer-row"> <section class="inner-container container"> <div class="row inner-row"> <element id="ID3RHelh1oSKpej4CATUAY4u" class="a-text-color-6 col-lg-10 col-sm-12 disclaimer mx-auto padding-left-25 padding-right-25 default" type="default"> <a name="landsberg-disclaimer-blog"></a> <div class="body-text"><hr/><p>Landsberg Bennett is a group comprised of investment professionals registered with Hightower Advisors, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.
