2024 Outlooks: US Equities; Banking; Internet

 In this week’s edition of the Bloomberg podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts discuss their outlooks for 2024:

European Banks -- Lento Tang says profitability and capital strength at decade-plus highs and below-normal cost of risk aren't reflected in sentiment.

US Regional Banks -- Herman Chan lays out the headwinds in higher funding costs, muted lending, tougher regulation and weakening credit quality.

North America Packaged Food -- Jennifer Bartashus says top-line and earnings growth could be more modest as the industry rebalances price and volume.

Global Internet -- Mandeep Singh says pressure will come from lower brand-ad spending, with any contribution from generative AI likely small anytime soon.

US Equities -- Gina Martin Adams says a second dip in the US economy is likely underway and could complicate parts of the S&P; 500 that largely avoided the 2022 slump.
