MORGAN STANLEY RESEARCH March 2009 U.S. Equity Strategy Key Global Economic Themes Critical global issues: Global growth risks are now more balanced, but around a contracting baseline in 2009. A record global recession and weakness in commodity prices should persist, while the dollar should show renewed weakness later in 2009. How deep and how long? The answer will hinge on policy actions taken to break the ‘adverse feedback loop’ from credit to the economy and back and whether those policies get traction soon. Massive stimulus helps China recover first. But China is better positioned than most in the developing world. A severe global downturn and tepid recovery are still likely. Aggressive (in some cases quantitative) easing, new financing facilities, tools to fix financial systems, and fiscal stimulus are now weapons of choice to fight credit crunch, deep slump and deflation risks. What’s Next? Look for others to follow the US with more aggressive monetary ease, fiscal stimulus, and backstops for financial institutions and markets. Look for weaker exports and commodity prices to confirm weaker global growth, especially in EM. Falling inflation could fuel the deflation scare. Look for signs of thawing in funding and credit, and a less-intense rate of decline in output. Where we differ Growth: Below consensus in both the industrial and developing economies Inflation: Deflation scare may intensify, but reflation will ultimately prevail Rates: Curves rangebound for now, TIPS still attractive, given inflation and policy uncertainty Equities: More bearish than consensus on growth and margins. Lower inflation unlikely to help stocks; seen as lost pricing power. Overweight EM over developed markets. Credit: More bullish than consensus on investment grade globally Currencies: Modestly more bearish on the USD than consensus, and selectively more bearish on EM currencies Jason Todd +1 212 761 7991 (for enquiries or requests please email [email protected]) 2 MORGAN STANLEY RESEARCH March 2009 U.S. Equity Strategy Key US Equity Recommendations 2009 S&P 500 Outlook -825 target on $57 dollars of earnings and 14.5x P/E Key Recommendations - Buy Corporate Credit – IG (Financials/cash rich Tech over Industrial and Materials) - Buy Consumers over Producers (Retail, Healthcare, Food & Beverage, Personal Products over Cap Goods, Metals, Energy) - Buy Brand, Content and Franchise value (CSCO, NKE, MCD, PM, LO, MSFT) over Distribution Sector Weightings - Overweight Healthcare, Telecoms - Neutral Financials, Discretionary, Staples, Energy - Underweight Materials, Industrials, Tech Stock & Sector Recommendations: -Buy healthcare with earnings visibility, yield and strong cash flow - JNJ, ABT, AMGN, BAX -Buy domestic food and beverage - GIS, CL, K -Buy custodians (STT, BK) as money markets normalize; WFC and JPM as industry consolidation winners. -Buy Energy Equipment & Services for long term structural upside – SLB, HAL, BHI, WFT, SII -Sell - Metals into strength - FCX, X, AKS, CLF -Sell - Construction machinery, power gen, transportation equipment (FAST, ITW, GWW, EMR, CAT, ROK) Jason Todd +1 212 761 7991 (for enquiries or requests please email [email protected]) 3 MORGAN STANLEY RESEARCH March 2009 U.S. Equity Strategy A Slow Path to Global Recovery – Asia/EM’s to Lead Rebound Despite aggressive stimulus… … lingering headwinds imply a sub-par global recovery 4 Discretionary Measures in Percent of GDP, 2008-2010 Real GDP (Year-over-Year Percent Change) 3 G-20 US 3.4% 2 Turkey 0.0% 1 Italy Europe 0.3% Brazil 0 0.5% Mexico -1 1.0% France 1.3% Argentina 1.3% U.K. -2 -3 -4 1.5% Russia 1.7% India 1.7% Japan -6 2008E 2.2% Indonesia Japan -5 12 2.4% South Africa 2010E Real GDP (Year-over-Year Percent Change) 10 2.6% Korea 2.8% 8 Canada 2.8% 6 Germany 2009E 3.5% China China Asia ex-Japan and China 4 4.4% Australia 2 4.5% Spain 0 5.0% U.S. 5.9% -2 Saudi Arabia 9.2% 0 1 2 3 4 5 Source: IMF Staff Estimates, Morgan Stanley 6 7 8 9 10 -4 2008E Latin America 2009E 2010E E = Morgan Stanley Research estimates Source: Morgan Stanley Jason Todd +1 212 761 7991 (for enquiries or requests please email [email protected]) 4 MORGAN STANLEY RESEARCH March 2009 U.S. Equity Strategy Alternative strategies depending on timing / strength of recovery Policy strength and policy traction will dictate the outcome strong BUY RISK NOW STAY PATIENT: BUY RISK AT LOWER LEVELS Bear curve steepening, followed by flattening Curves range-bound for now Equities are a buy now; shift into cyclical sectors Add to equities at lower levels IG credit continues to rally; HY starts to participate IG returns attractive, but too early for HY USD: rally if US-led; weak if Asia-led USD: entering final leg of rally Commodities rise heading into 2010 Commodities: too early to buy strength of recovery weak ADD SELECTIVE, HIGH QUALITY RISK KEEP AVOIDING RISK Moderate curve steepening Bullish curve flattening Equities stabilise; early cyclicals firm Equities make new lows; cyclicals underperform IG credit rallies; HY lags Rally in credit stalls USD: modestly negative US dollar remains ‘best house in bad neighborhood’ Commodities stabilize Commodities to new lows 2H09 timing of recovery Jason Todd +1 212 761 7991 (for enquiries or requests please email [email protected]) 2010 and beyond 5 MORGAN STANLEY RESEARCH March 2009 U.S. Equity Strategy Sequencing the healing process The road to repair will be long and difficult.

Provisioning and markdowns - 60% through the cycle, with listed and unlisted financials globally writing down $1200bn. Final cumulative loss estimate of $1.8tn, split evenly between markdowns and provisioning. 2. Earnings – S&P Financials posted a loss of -$145bn in 2008 and will likely post a further loss of -$36bn in 2009 (peak pre-tax, preprovisioning earnings were $340bn). 3. Sustainable earnings – Sustainable ROE of 12% (versus 18% historically) on a book value of around $1.2tn. Alternatively, 1% ROA on 15x Tangible Assets/Tangible Equity (TA/TE) ratio ($12tn of assets). 4. Valuation – Using an implied ROE of 12%, S&P 500 Financial sector on a sustainable P/E of 3.9x. Using a 1% sustainable ROA we estimate that our selection of Financial stocks are trading on a P/E of 4.5x. 5. Deleveraging – Progress is slow due to difficult asset markets and poor pricing transparency. TA/TE down from 24x to 16x for the bulk of BKX members, already well below the long-term average of 19x.

For example, ModelWare EPS adjusts for one-time events, capitalizes operating leases (where their use is significant), and converts inventory from LIFO costing to a FIFO basis. ModelWare also emphasizes the separation of operating performance of a company from its financing for a more complete view of how a company generates earnings. Morgan Stanley does and seeks to do business with companies covered in Morgan Stanley Research. As a result, investors should be aware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of Morgan Stanley Research.
