Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty confident about that outcome.

Bloomberg Talks

So let's talk about the risks for the bull market.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

We think the bull market started in April, new economic earnings cycle.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

Okay, there are two risks.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

One is that the Fed drags their feet, liquidity, funding market stresses kind of pop up.

The second one is what you just talked about, is that the market starts to push back on the fact that free cash flow growth is actually decelerating for some of these businesses, and the asset light story is being called into question.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

We haven't

seen it yet.

The last week was the first time we saw pretty divergent performance between some of these.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

And that's a risk because if all of a sudden the market starts to become a governing factor on those stocks, I can guarantee you that the management teams are going to say, well, maybe we aren't going to spend quite as much, just like we saw in the fall of 2024 as we talked about that deceleration in CapEx.

And also we saw that with other times when these companies spend much money.

Bloomberg Talks

The market is a governing factor.

Bloomberg Talks

The management changed their view, how they're guiding on the CapEx.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

Right now they're getting rewarded for more CapEx.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

Well, I think it's a natural evolution.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

And just to be clear, in all of these build-outs, whether it's railroads, electricity, the internet itself, we're now into the debt part.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

So now they just raised a ton of capital.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

Well, they're not going to sit.

Bloomberg Talks
Morgan Stanley Chief US Equity Strategist Mike Wilson Talks Fed Rate Cuts

They're going to spend it.

Bloomberg Talks

So that's another reason to be excited on one hand, because we know that money is going to get spent.
