Why investors should buy into logistics, skip utilities

Today on Yahoo Finance's Good Buy or Goodbye, host Julie Hyman is joined by Great Hill Capital Chairman and Managing Member Tom Hayes to discuss his top stock picks and avoidances in the logistics and utilities sectors. Hayes recommends GXO Logistics (GXO) as a buy, highlighting chairman Brad Jacobs' "Midas touch" and track record of creating shareholder value. He notes the company's transition from a destocking to a restocking cycle, forecasting EBITDA growth to nearly double by 2027. Hayes predicts this will drive multiple expansion and boost the stock price in coming years. On the flip side, Hayes advises investors to avoid the entire utilities sector (XLU). He argues that the sector's recent rally, driven by AI narratives and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, is a classic "buy the rumor, maybe sell the news" situation. Hayes emphasizes that utilities are a defensive sector, stating, "I don't think you want to be overly defensive right now" given current market conditions.

Expect more choppy action from Big Tech stocks: Analyst

Equity markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) are rebounding, with the technology sector (XLK) at the forefront. CFRA Research Senior Equity Analyst Angelo Zino joins Catalysts to share his outlook on the tech market. Zino notes that while tech has "led the way" in the market recovery, it remains "the worst performing sector" since July's market peak. Semiconductors experienced the most severe sell-off but have since shown the strongest gains and recovery. Looking ahead, Zino predicts "more choppy action" following this surge, expecting market volatility to persist for the next 2-3 months and through the election period. He notes that earnings drive tech stocks and highlights two potential catalysts: Nvidia's (NVDA) upcoming Blackwell launch and the likely Apple (AAPL) iPhone 16 release. "Those are the two product launches that we think could potentially see more upside to consensus estimates," Zino states. However, he cautions investors not to "expect anything too extreme here, at least in the immediate near term" from the tech sector.
