These lessons learned from 2022 are particularly important for 2023 since FOMC members expect rates in 12 months to be higher than what investors are currently expecting. And on the asset allocation side, the team’s preference for value stocks throughout the year turned out to be a win. Caveat emptor.

However, the debate is heating up as investors begin to consider whether the pendulum will swing back to growth if inflation and interest rates decline in 2023. Shareholder yield is compelling amid rising rates when low risk alternatives further up the capital structure (such as investment grade corporate bonds) are paying higher yields.

The economy needs a stable and productive workforce to handle tighter financial conditions and growing uncertainty about 2023. We won’t predict a soft landing, but there is a plausible scenario where a mild recession comes in 2023, the S&P 500 does not retest its June 2022 lows, and stocks are nicely higher in a year. Conclusion.

Interest rates have only come down because of recession fears, while inflation will still be elevated—even if somewhat lower—when the calendar turns to 2023 (unfortunately). As a result, we believe a price-to-earnings ratio of 18-19 on 2023 S&P 500 earnings estimates is reasonable. So a P/E over 20 is probably too rich.
