4 Discretionary Stocks to Buy on Rises in Personal Income
Inflation has been slowing lately, raising hopes that the economy will rebound faster than it was expected. This has also seen consumer sentiment rise to an eight-month high. Also, personal income has been on the rise, allowing people to spend more freely despite inflationary pressures.
A rise in personal income means people can spend more freely on consumer discretionary items and services. Given this situation, investing in consumer discretionary stocks like Wyndham Hotels & Resorts,Sportradar Group AG, OneSpaWorld Holdings Ltd. and Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. would be ideal.
Personal Income Rises
The Commerce Department said on Jan 27 that personal income in the United States increased 0.2% in December. Although the rise is marginal, the figure is quite attractive given the sky-high prices of commodities.
December’s jump follows a revised 0.3% rise in personal income in November. Disposable personal income, which excludes personal current taxes, increased 0.3% in December, which matched the increase witnessed in November.
This came as the latest data showed inflation slowing in the last month. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index decreased to 5% year over year in December from 5.5% in November, according to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis on Jan 27.
Core PCE, the Fed's favored inflation indicator, fell from 4.7% in November to 4.4% in December. Inflation has slowed considerably in the last quarter of 2022, raising hopes among millions that the economy may have a softer landing in 2023 and recession fears have also been somewhat alleviated.
Also, the U.S. GDP grew 2.9% in the fourth quarter for the second straight quarter after declining in the prior two quarters.
Growth in GDP coupled with slowing inflation has seen a jump in consumer sentiment. According to the University of Michigan's survey, consumer sentiment improved 5.2 points to 64.9 in January after rising to 59.7 in December. January’s reading is the highest since April 2022, which once again proves that people are more confident of an economic rebound.
A rise in personal income, will thus, help people spend more confidently now.
