Citi says equity weakness is not a collapse, but a sharp rotation into broader sectors

Citi’s head of European equity strategy, Beata Manthey, said the recent weakness in stock markets should not be read as a sign of collapse. Instead, she described it as a "violent rotation" as money moves into a wider set of sectors and the long-awaited broadening rally begins. Manthey said this kind of market advance requires sharp sector swings, even if the near-term moves feel intense. She pointed to European financials, especially banks, as a favored area and called the trade an "anti-AI" position. In her view, European bank stocks have their own upside drivers and do not depend on technology themes. Manthey also said earnings revisions for European companies are near historical highs, while 80% of industries are seeing analyst upgrades to valuations. Her conclusion was that investors who can look past short-term volatility may still find the outlook for holding stocks constructive over the next 6 to 12 months.
