THE MIDDAY TRADE

Preparing For a Red November

Following the debate, Wolfe Research has come out with some guidelines on how investors could approach a Republican sweep of the White House and Congress should it occur in November.

The investment firm has unveiled a list of long and short stock picks that could help investors if that scenario materializes. The stocks are spread among a wide-ranging group if industries including financials, healthcare and tech.

Stock Picks

Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) is one name that stands out and has been in the headlines recently. It is the parent company for Trump’s Truth Social social media app, and the ex-president himself holds a majority stake. Shares are up 89% YTD but have been very volatile since its IPO. 

The firm thinks healthcare stocks, specifically UnitedHealthcare (UNH), could benefit from an easing of regulation that would be expected under a Trump second term. Shares are down 6% YTD. 

On the short side, Wolfe likes Tesla (TSLA) and SolarEdge (SEDG) Technologies to see their share prices fall under a possible Trump presidency. The stocks are down 15.5% and 74.4% YTD, respectively. Both operate in the world of alternative energy, something that many think could struggle under Trump.

Putting It in Perspective

While specific stocks and sectors may be affected by a President’s policies, historically speaking, the overall market does not do better under one party or another. The stock market’s return over the course of a presidency has been negative only twice in history - during 1973’s stagflation and the 2008 financial crisis. 

What the Fed does in regards to interest rates and who is chosen as Jerome Powell’s successor in 2026 will have a much greater effect on markets over the next four years than who wins in November. The data shows that people, not markets, care about elections.

SURVEY THE STREET

Activist investment firm Elliott Management has set its sights on Southwest Airlines, looking to oust CEO Bob Jordan and Chairman Gary Kelly.

However, it won’t be easy. Southwest Airlines has adopted a shareholder rights plan, a “poison pill.” If Elliott acquires a 12.5% stake in the company, the poison pill will activate, allowing shareholders to purchase additional shares at a 50% discount.

Elliott currently has a $1.9 billion stake that amounts to 11% of Southwest.

Will Elliot Management Successfully Oust Southwest's CEO?
