Exane BNP Paribas Initiates Coverage On Constellation Brands with Neutral Rating, Announces Price Target of $261

Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/41968003/gold-drops-to-a-two-month-low-as-investors-turn-to-bitcoin-after-trumps-victory-but-this-economist-remains-confident-that-gold-will-surge">win is positive for the financial and energy sectors</a> as the &#8220;pro-growth effects of fiscal stimulus currently outweigh the inflationary risks in the near term​​​&#8221; according to an analyst. 
What Happened: Mario Georgiou, CFA and executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K., in an exclusive conversation with <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, described tax cuts and deregulation as tailwinds to the markets. He considers inflationary policies such as tariffs and immigration impacts as headwinds, leading to a steepening yield curve, and higher term premiums.
&#8220;Financials offer an attractive risk-reward and that this recent post-election rally has room to run,&#8221; added Georgiou. According to him &#8220;financials are not only well positioned to capture the benefits of the above-mentioned Trump tailwinds, but are also less impacted / would even benefit from the Trump headwinds.&#8221;
Despite a few dips, the equity markets have been trading higher than the pre-election levels after President-elect Trump&#8217;s victory. The S&amp;P 500 has increased by 3.22%, rising from $5,782.76 on Nov. 5 to $5,969.34 as of Friday&#8217;s close. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index has had a similar momentum, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Meanwhile, Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (ACRA: XLF), Vanguard Financials ETF (ACRA: VFH), iShares U.S. Financials ETF (ACRA: IYF), and SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (ACRA: KBE), have returned over 30% year-to-date in 2024 outperforming the S&amp;P 500 Index&#8217;s 26% run.

Other sectors that Georgiou prefers, include energy. According to him &#8220;deregulation supporting oil production and geopolitical risks could sustain elevated oil prices and relative valuations are attractive.&#8221;
Even though the energy sector has underperformed the broader markets in 2024, &#8220;fundamentally, companies are shareholder friendly with 8-12% shareholder yields, have strong balance sheets with low net debt to EBITDA ratios and high free cash flow yields of 6.50% and above,&#8221; he adds.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (ACRA: RSP), iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ACRA: IWD), Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF (ACRA: VYM) and ProShares S&amp;P 500 Ex-Energy ETF (ACRA: SPXE) have all underperformed the S&amp;P 500 on a year-to-date basis.
Why It Matters: As markets hit their 51st record high of 2024 and the S&amp;P 500 Index crossed 6,000 points, some analysts caution that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42134031/markets-got-it-wrong-after-elections-prospects-of-tariffs-not-good-for-equities-vs-dollar-says-ex-goldman-sachs-analyst"> tariffs could pose risks </a>to equities and suggest that the market may be overvalued.
&#8220;The prospect of tariffs isn't obviously good for equities, while it's clearly good for the Dollar," former Goldman Sachs FX strategist and senior fellow at Brookings Institution, Robin Brooks said in an X post. "Markets initially got this wrong, driving stocks up sharply right after Nov. 5,&#8221; he added.
However, Georgiou is &#8220;cautiously optimistic&#8221; about the markets, he said &#8220;a neutral to fully invested equity allocation is warranted, with a focus on sectors benefiting from Trump's policies, whilst always maintaining our core investment principles, which is a focus on fundamentals, quality, and risk management.&#8221;

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook's approach to building a relationship with Donald Trump during his presidency reportedly gave Cupertino unique advantages over competitors. Other tech leaders may now be taking notes.
What Happened: A <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/tim-cook-ceo-trump-relationship-ad106f36">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal highlights how Cook navigated Trump's administration with a direct, focused strategy.
Cook often bypassed lobbyists and government relations executives, opting instead for one-on-one meetings and phone calls with Trump.
He would focus on singular, data-driven points in discussions to influence policy in Apple's favor.
This approach reportedly helped Apple avoid some of the harsher impacts of Trump's trade tariffs in 2019 and positioned the company to benefit from the administration's 2017 tax reforms.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/42157400/economist-peter-schiff-criticizes-trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-says-he-will-have-to-find-buyers-for-trillions-in-new-debt-each-year-his-job-is-to-continue-the-ponzi">Economist Peter Schiff Criticizes Trump&#8217;s Treasury Pick, Scott Bessent, Says He Will Have To Find Buyers For Trillions In New Debt Each Year</a>
Cook also strategically aligned Apple's interests with Trump's agenda, ensuring mutual benefits. For instance, he didn't refute Trump's claim of credit for an Austin manufacturing plant that was neither new nor owned by Apple.
The report noted that doing so allowed Trump to appear successful while maintaining Apple's goodwill.
Leaders of other major companies, including Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai and Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Mark Zuckerberg are reportedly employing similar strategies.
According to the report, executives from Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) have also attempted direct communication with Trump.
Meanwhile, some have reportedly explored leveraging connections through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a role Trump assigned to Elon Musk after the Tesla Inc. CEO&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42157649/trumps-doge-co-lead-elon-musk-slams-lockheed-martins-f-35-fighter-jets-advocates-drone-warfare-as-pentagon-defends-1-8-trillion-program">vocal support for his campaign</a>.
Why It Matters: Trump previously said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41351251/trump-says-google-has-a-lot-of-power-but-stops-short-of-endorsing-a-break-up">Pichai updated him</a> on trending Google searches and Zuckerberg praised his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785288/did-mark-zuckerberg-really-say-no-way-i-can-vote-for-a-democrat-in-this-election-to-trump">response to an assassination attempt</a>, showing their efforts to establish rapport.
Since Trump&#8217;s victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, both the stock market and the cryptocurrency sector have experienced significant growth.
The S&amp;P 500 has increased by 3.22%, rising from 5,782 on Nov. 5 to 5,969 as of Friday&#8217;s close. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index has had a similar momentum since Trump&#8217;s victory, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
During the same period, NASDAQ has risen 2.71% to reach 20,776.23. The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) which tracks the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index gained 2.75%.
On the other hand, the overall market cap of the cryptocurrency sector has risen to $3.37 trillion, up 44.63% from $2.33 trillion on Nov. 5.

Why It Matters: Lutnick was also considered as a top pick for the Secretary of Treasury along with Scott Bessent. Tesla CEO and Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-lead Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/24/11/42044642/trump-appears-frustrated-as-elon-musk-chimes-in-on-treasury-secretary-adds-more-names-to-a-list-of-potential-picks">rallied for Lutnick</a> in a post on his social media platform, X, calling on others to weigh in on the appointment.

However, Bessent was appointed the Treasury Secretary.

Trump's Commerce Secretary Pick Howard Lutnick's Fund Owns $1.19B In Nvidia, $804M In Tesla: Here Is A Look At His Portfolio

Donald Trump&#8216;s Treasury Secretary pick Scott Bessent&nbsp;envisions a significant &#8220;global economic reordering&#8221; and aims to play a role in this transformation.
What Happened:&nbsp;In his first interview since Trump made the announcement, Bessent outlined his policy priorities, focusing on fulfilling tax-cut promises made by&nbsp;Trump. These include making first-term tax reductions permanent and removing&nbsp;taxes on tips, social security benefits, and overtime pay, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/scott-bessent-sees-a-coming-global-economic-reordering-he-wants-to-be-part-of-it-533d6e71">reported</a>&nbsp;on Monday.
Additionally, Bessent, who will be replacing Janet Yellen after Trump&#8217;s induction, plans to implement tariffs and reduce government spending. He emphasized the importance of &#8220;maintaining&nbsp;the status of the dollar&nbsp;as the world's reserve currency.&#8221;
Bessent told WSJ that he believes the president-elect&#8217;s strategy&nbsp;to extend tax cuts and&nbsp;deregulate parts of the U.S.&nbsp;economy could lead to an &#8220;economic lollapalooza.&#8221;
He expressed his desire to contribute to this anticipated economic shift, stating, &#8220;We&nbsp;are going to have to&nbsp;have some kind of a&nbsp;grand global economic reordering.&#8221; Bessent argues he has studied these dynamics and is eager to be involved in shaping the future economic landscape.

Why It Matters: The appointment of&nbsp;Bessent&nbsp;as U.S. Treasury Secretary by the President-elect&nbsp;is a strategic move that has drawn significant attention. Bessent, founder of Key Square Group, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42150805/trump-picks-hedge-fund-exec-scott-bessent-as-treasury-secretary-what-president-elects-choice-means-for-americas-economic-future">selected over other notable candidates l</a>ike former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and private equity executive Marc Rowan. Trump praised Bessent as a leading international investor and strategist.
However, not everyone is optimistic about this choice. Economist&nbsp;Peter Schiff&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/42157400/economist-peter-schiff-criticizes-trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-says-he-will-have-to-find-buyers-for-trillions-in-new-debt-each-year-his-job-is-to-continue-the-ponzi">criticized the decision,</a> suggesting that Bessent&#8217;s role would involve managing substantial national debt. Schiff humorously referred to him as the &#8220;Secretary of the Debt&#8221; on social media, highlighting concerns about the financial implications of Trump&#8217;s tax cut promises.

Trump's Treasury Secretary Pick Scott Bessent Says A 'Global Economic Reordering' Is On The Way, Argues President-Elect's Policies Will Lead To An 'Economic Lollapalooza'

A whale investor offloaded millions worth of Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) as the frog-themed cryptocurrency corrected sharply over the weekend.
What Happened: On-chain tracking platform&nbsp;Spot on Chain&nbsp;reported a massive sale of PEPE by a trader with huge cryptocurrency holdings. 
The trader, dubbed &#8220;super whale,&#8221; sold 74.07 billion PEPE, equivalent to $1.53 million, for 448.1 Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) on Sunday. In the last three days, they liquidated a total of 130.2 billion PEPE, amounting to $2.71 million, for 891 Ether.
Despite the massive sale, the whale still holds a staggering 3.241 trillion PEPE, valued at $64.1 million, with a profit of $68.3 million, marking a 12.6X return on investment.

Why It Matters: The sale comes amid a price drop in the third-largest meme coin by market capitalization. PEPE retraced as much as 7.7% since Saturday morning and 8.39% over the week. 
Large transactions by &#8216;whales&#8217; or wealthy traders can significantly impact the market, influencing retail to follow suit and causing price swings.
Interestingly, large transaction volume plunged by more than 50% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/?end_offset=20">according </a>to IntoTheBlock. Moreover, the balances of long-term PEPE holders increased marginally by 0.3%.
The observations from the aforementioned indicators suggested a probable shift in trading strategy from selling to HODLing.
Price Action: At the time of writing, PEPE was trading at $0.00002038, up marginally by 0.80% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;
