Goldman Sachs warns that US stocks may turn into a bear market, BlackRock downgrades US stock ratings
According to a report by Golden Finance, as Trump initiates a trade war, warnings from Wall Street strategists are increasing, indicating a bleak outlook for the stock market. On Monday, strategists Jean Boivin and Wei Li from BlackRock downgraded their three-month outlook for US stocks from overweight to neutral, stating that they expect "risk assets will face greater pressure in the short term due to significant escalation of global trade tensions."
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs' strategic team including strategists like Peter Oppenheimer said that with the increase in recession risk, stock market sell-offs are likely to evolve into a longer cyclical bear market. Cyclical bear markets typically last about two years and take five years to rebound back to their starting point. As it stands now, they believe that the U.S. stock sell-off is an event-driven bear market. They say that in both types of bear markets, stocks tend to fall on average 30%, but "the duration differs; event-driven downturns are shorter and recover faster."

Constellation Brands, the maker of Corona beer, exceeds market expectations in the second quarter thanks to strong demand
Reuters, October 6 - Constellation Brands (STZ.N) reported on Tuesday that its second-quarter profit and sales both exceeded market expectations, thanks to strong demand for its beer products such as Modelo Especial and Victoria, which effectively offset challenges facing the alcohol sector amid weak consumer sentiment. The company also announced that it had acquired SpikedAde, a ready-to-drink (RTD) company with vodka-based products, for at least $75 million, as part of its strategy to expand into new demand segments and strengthen its position in the fast-growing RTD category. Constellation Brands will pay $75 million upon the closing of the SpikedAde deal, and up to an additional $278 million over the next five years, depending on the brand’s performance and the company’s capital allocation priorities. The company’s beer business benefited this year from major sports events, as the FIFA World Cup and NBA Finals boosted viewing parties and social drinking occasions. According to data compiled by London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), net sales for the quarter ended August 31 rose 6% to $2.63 billion, surpassing analysts’ average estimate of $2.54 billion. Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter were $3.74, above the expected $3.56. The wine and spirits business reported quarterly net sales growth of 17%, while beer increased by 5%. Constellation Brands reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 performance outlook: adjusted earnings per share between $11.20 and $11.90, with organic net sales expected to range from a 1% decline to a 1% increase. The company lowered its annual operating margin forecast from the previous 32%-33% range to between 31% and 32%. Its stock fell 4.5% in after-hours trading, with a year-to-date drop of about 16%. In April, the company withdrew its fiscal 2028 performance outlook, citing a turbulent operating environment and uncertain near-term prospects.
