Investment Rating - The report indicates a modest net change in the fiscal balance due to the reconciliation package, with an estimated $275 billion addition to the deficit next year, suggesting a cautious investment outlook [3][4]. Core Insights - The reconciliation bill, titled the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," is expected to create a fiscal expansion of roughly $4 trillion relative to current law, but the net impact on corporate earnings is estimated to be about 5% for S&P 500 in 2026, diminishing in subsequent years [3][4]. - The corporate provisions in the bill will primarily shift the timing of tax payments rather than permanently lower tax rates, impacting cash flows more than GAAP net income [4][9]. - The potential changes to business expensing will significantly affect capex-intensive companies and those with high interest expenses, particularly in the small-cap sector [9][32]. Summary by Sections Fiscal Policy Impact - The reconciliation package is expected to have a modest direct impact on S&P 500 earnings and cash flows, with a collective effect of approximately 5% on earnings in 2026 [4][5]. - The bill's provisions, including capex and R&D expensing, interest deductibility, and foreign income treatment, will contribute to GDP growth, further lifting S&P 500 earnings by about 1% [4][31]. Market Reactions - Few sectors have shown a strong correlation with fiscal policy expectations, although renewable energy stocks have reacted to legislative developments [2][20]. - The report highlights that stocks with elevated interest expenses and low effective tax rates may face scrutiny as Congress negotiates the legislative package [30][43]. Sector-Specific Insights - The legislation's impact on interest deductibility will have a larger effect on small-cap stocks compared to large-cap stocks, with 34% of Russell 2000 companies having interest expenses exceeding 30% of EBIT [9][14]. - Consumer-facing stocks may benefit from the fiscal package, with expected boosts to consumer spending adding about 0.3 percentage points to GDP growth in 2026 [31][32]. Valuation Considerations - The reconciliation bill could influence equity valuations if it leads to upward pressure on interest rates, with historical data indicating stocks typically react poorly to rapid increases in yields [34][42]. - A potential increase in the 10-year Treasury yield toward 5% could catalyze additional equity volatility, impacting investor sentiment [34][38].
