TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Playing the Labour Party Victory

A Strong Post-Election Market

The results are in for the UK election, and the Labour Party won in a landslide. 

According to RBC Capital, today’s market and the market in 1997 show some similarities. 1997 was the last time the UK transitioned from a Conservative to a Labour government. 

Market performance was strong in 1997, as it is today, but analysts believe today’s strong performance is even broader. If history is any indicator, RBC analyst Mark Fielding says the market could rise around 2.3% over the next month.

Homebuilding

The investment bank highlighted some stocks and sectors it thinks could thrive under the new government. 

The homebuilding industry is expected to get some assistance from the Labour Party. According to Citi (C) analyst Ami Galla, some of the party’s promised reforms could boost homebuilders’ land banks in the near term.

Citi is bullish on Barratt (BDEV-BG), Persimmon (PSN-GB), and Taylor Wimpey (TW-GB) as a result.

Building Materials

In the same vein, RBC analysts expect some companies in the building materials sector to benefit from the election results. 

Among the stocks highlighted in the building materials space were Genuit (GEN-GB), Howden (HWDN-GB), and Travis Perkins (TWZ-GB). 

A new government means new policies and a new outlook. These factors could significantly impact certain stocks, and RBC is keeping an eye on a few.
