The risks remain in the distributor channel with inventory trends at cycle peaks - electrical, chemical, MRO and Big Box stand out to us. Manufacturers remain in better shape, although A&D, Auto, Chemicals and Semi sectors are carrying excess inventory. Generally, we see channel burn as a risk to short cycle demand into 1Q20, compounded by increasing sell-out weakness. EE/MI stocks with greatest leverage to external channels are 3M, SWK, ROK, RBC, HUBB and ITW; GE and UTX are least exposed.

Electrical Equipment & Multi-Industry - Global Capex Cycle: Significant Damage from Hurricane Donald
Posted on August 13, 2019
Filed under: Nigel Coe, Electrical Equipment & Multi-Industry, Distributors, FAST, GWW, HDS, WCC, Multi-Industry, AME, DOV, EMR, ETN, FLOW, FTV, GE, HON, HUBB, IR, ITW, JCI, LII, MMM, PH, RBC, ROK, SWK, UTX
We are in the middle of the Atlantic hurricane season, and we can't help but draw a parallel with the economic slowdown and associated China trade conflict that is buffeting industrial demand. Capital spending has flattened out for FY19, and the outlook for the US over the next 6-12 months has significantly deteriorated. Global capex spending remains relatively depressed vs. history, which likely limits 2020 downside risk, and offers continued hope of recovery in a more stable macro backdrop.

Electrical Equipment & Multi-Industry - The Corrections: What Have We Learned and What Does it Mean?

We are turning more bearish and so look at the quantitative attributes that tend to drive relative performance during EE/MI corrections. The good news is that we think we are well positioned to outperform through a choppy macro. We note that JCI, ITW and PH are outperforming relative to our expectations, while FTV, DOV and UTX are lagging – these are the three stocks where we see best potential for new money flows post-earnings.

2Q19 played out pretty perfectly on the fundamentals, but positioning was so important this quarter. We believe it is too early for a pro-cyclical trade and we remain significantly below FY20 consensus for ROK, MMM, PH, FAST, GWW and WCC. We see fresh money for DOV, UTX and HUBB out of EPS season.

This feels like a very different environment. Global PMIs are sub-50 – a bullish indicator for Cap Goods stocks – yet trade tensions are ratcheting substantially higher, valuations are too rich and we have yet to see a negative EPS revision cycle in the US. This all argues for a more defensive profile.

WR CGMI declined 2.7ppts M/M to 44.9 in July, on weakness in China and ROW regions. This confirms the negative trend that has been in place since May, immediately after trade talks first broke down. Since cap goods momentum has been so sensitive to trade, the announcement of List 4 tariffs is a troubling development. Further negative momentum would be bearish for the EE/MI group and this endorses a more defensive and less pro-cyclical bias to portfolio positioning.

WIW 605: This week we highlight that inventory levels continued to grind higher during 2Q19. This, along with the imposition of List 4 tariffs, places significant risk to the 2H set-up. The market has been re-rating short cycle laggards, but we think this trade could reverse in a risk-off market.

This week, we take another pulse check on 2Q19 earnings season, and publish updated thoughts on the last four of our coverage through the gate, namely GWW, ROK, MMM and FTV. Ironically, these names with the exception of FTV, have been the best performers since our earnings preview on 9 July and it is no coincidence that these were popular HF shorts. Yes, positioning has been a much greater factor this quarter.
