ClearBridge Investments made the following comment about Trane Technologies plc (NYSE:TT) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Industrials holdings such as process and motion control company Regal Rexnord (RRX) and HVAC and transport refrigeration company Trane Technologies plc (NYSE:TT) also performed well, lifted by strong execution as both beat earnings and revenue expectations. Both companies should also benefit from the IRA as they enable greater energy efficiency in a variety of settings: Regal Rexnord innovates through best-in-class engineering capabilities to help customers achieve their energy efficiency objectives; Trane’s products enable lower energy demand and emissions in HVAC systems and buildings, where it estimates ~15%–25% of all GHG emissions are emitted.
According to ClearBridge holding Trane Technologies, under ideal conditions, a heat pump can transfer 300% more energy than it consumes. In contrast, a high efficiency gas furnace is only about 95% efficient. Further, heat pumps are powered by electricity, creating substantial potential fuel savings. Assuming the electricity comes from clean energy sources, heat pumps are also much more “green.”
Heat pumps gained prominence in June when President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act of 1950 to call for more domestic production of heat pumps to reduce American energy bills, fight climate change and free up U.S. natural gas to support allies in Europe. The IRA, which provides $500 million in funding for expanding production of heat pumps as well as processing critical minerals, should be a plus for manufacturers and ClearBridge holdings like Trane and Johnson Controls (JCI).”

BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian Senator Marcelo Castro said on Wednesday that a constitutional amendment backed by President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva must exempt at least 100 billion reais ($19 billion) from a constitutional spending cap next year. In an interview with Reuters, Castro, the key lawmaker handling 2023 budget talks, said the initial idea of permanently excluding the "Bolsa Familia" welfare program from the spending ceiling had "lost a lot of strength." Lula's transition team first proposed to remove the Bolsa Familia program from the spending cap indefinitely, opening space for 175 billion reais in new spending.
Market conditions these days are best described as ‘unsettled.’ Inflation was lower in the October print, but remains stubbornly high, while the Fed’s reactive interest rate policy is pushing up the price of capital, but has not yet constricted retail or other purchasing activity – or inflation.

So, should investors stick to a de

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is one of the best-performing stocks of the past generation, but 2022 has mostly been a disaster for the tech giant. The stock is down 47% year to date, revenue growth has slowed to all-time lows, it's closed dozens of warehouses after overestimating demand, shuttered once-promising projects like Amazon Care, and just reported that it's laying off 10,000 corporate employees. While it's clear Amazon has struggled this year, those challenges seem well-reflected in Amazon's stock price.
Among the telecoms is Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), the second-largest provider behind AT&T. The stock sports an attractive 6.89% dividend yield, which also places it in red-flag territory.
