For nervous investors awaiting the next market slump, analysts at Goldman Sachs say renewed underperformance by corporate bonds versus stocks might offer an unwelcome reminder. “The magnitude of recent credit underperformance rivals the one we observed Jan. 18, 2018, which served as a useful signal to de-risk equity portfolios,” said John Marshall, managing director for Goldman’s options research team, in a Friday note. Although, the selloff was precipitated by fears over inflation and not so much the health of corporate balance sheets, one warning sign was the way equities outpaced corporate debt.

As phone companies and cable operators continue to be under pressure from Netflix (NFLX) and the other “over-the-top” services, the really bad news for the media and telcos is a slowing of capital returns, writes Jefferies & Co.’s John Janedis, who yesterday took over coverage of AT&T (T), Verizon Communications (VZ), Comcast (CMCSA), and Charter Communications (CHTR) from his colleague Scott Goldman. In a report, Janedis kicks off his coverage with a Hold rating on AT&T, Verizon and Charter, and a Buy rating on Comcast, though all four seem frankly at risk of slowing payouts to shareholders, in the form of dividends and buybacks that may not have much upside from current levels.
