Markets dipped to start out the week, with the Nasdaq leading the charge by slipping just over 1%. The Dow Jones industrials and S&P 500 were each down about 0.6%. This comes after Friday’s devastating session, which saw broad markets lose roughly 3% on the heels of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium.

Many analysts are speculating that with the Fed’s current stance and narrative equities will be on the downturn in the near term. This could spell problems for earnings in the third and fourth quarters as the metrics are evening out the equation.

All this makes for a stockpickers’ market, and finding winners will be tricky this fall. Luckily, analysts have some ideas about what might win out despite this market climate.
