美國股市因人工智能熱潮及大選再度成為市場焦點。美國總統大選前夕,外界關注民主共和兩黨總統候選人的政綱對經濟以至金融市場的影響,特別是關稅及移民措施。威靈頓投資管理認為,不論總統寳座誰屬,預期美國的高通脹水平將會因為勞動人口日益短缺而維持一段時間。

疫情後額外儲蓄回落至正常水平,預料消費者入息將為增長的主要推動力。而從整體前景來看,消費者資產負債狀況良好,對利率敏感度較低,綜觀種種因素,預期出現消費主導的經濟放緩可能性較低。不過,聯儲局貨幣政策立場強硬,支持美國國庫券孳息率及其他資產價格高企,亦為即將踏入65歲的群眾創造更佳條件可提早退休,銀髮族群消費相關產業的企業也可望受惠。人工智能熱潮方面,除了科技業受惠,其他行業亦可利用相關技術降低成本或開拓新領域,支持企業發展。

該行認為,只要慎選發展潛力高的產業或優質企業,美國股市依然機會處處。

美股表現還看3D市場動力

就股市前景而言,威靈頓投資管理相信,美股未來將由「3D」市場動力主導;在此環境下,可留意聚焦優質企業的主動型投資策略,或有助捕捉市場升勢,並緩和下行風險。

  • Dispersion(利好因素擴散):自去年開始,美國投資者積極追捧人工智能,資金大幅流入半導體、科技等與應用人工智能有密切關係的產業,其後「美股七雄」不負英名,領漲股市。放眼未來12個月,從圖一威靈頓投資管理及彭博的數據所見,標準普爾500指數內非科技及媒體企業的每股盈利,預計於今年下半年至明年初與科技及媒體範疇企業差距逐漸收窄,市場共識預測亦顯示明年初該指數年度盈利增長將為15%,可望支持現時增長「風眼」以外範疇的回報。
  • Divergence(營商環境走向歧異):無論聯儲局何時減息,短時間內預期資金成本維持較高水平,將為鑑辨企業優勝劣敗的重要試金石。威靈頓投資管理認為,善於配置資本的優質企業一般較能駕馭市場挑戰,為股東創造長期回報。

  • Disruption(顛覆未來趨勢):數碼轉型加速發展,不同基建、平台及服務供應商均採用人工智能以減低成本、提升效率,為相關範疇締造廣闊投資機會。然而,投資者亦須留意,身處不同成長階段的企業投資前景各異,切忌盲目跟風。

威靈頓投資認為,受惠3D新常態的有3大主要範疇:

  • 資訊科技:數碼轉型加速發展,為應用人工智能及實現新科技的相關企業(如數據中心)提供增長機遇。
  • 金融:支付方式的數碼轉型惠及金融服務與支付公司,而投資者偏好帶動另類投資崛起,加上市場份額擴大的前景,均利好私募資產管理公司。
  • 健康護理:受惠於醫療創新,在規模及創新方面具備競爭優勢、並能捕捉市場新興需求的健康護理服務供應商及製藥公司可看高一線。

宏觀布局與專注質素的選股方針有助捕捉贏家

面對市場愈趨波動的新常態,靈活應變、以質素駕馭不同經濟環境變化更形重要。在市場不明朗的時期,優質企業的資產負債狀況一般較為健康,並有望繼續透過派發股息或回購股份,向股東回饋資本,或更具潛力可蓬勃發展。從下圖可見,在質素、增長、估值及資本回報方面表現較強的企業,相對回報優於上述特質遜色的企業。

以聚焦優質增長的美股策略為例,投資團隊依據宏觀指標調整投資組合,避免投資風格偏見,因時制宜。此外,投資範圍涵蓋美國所有市值及類別股票,按質素、增長、估值上升空間及資本回報特質精挑細選,則更具靈活優勢,可從多元未來趨勢中發掘具備較佳超額回報潛力的優質機遇。
