Carson Group Projects Solid Economic Expansion and Low Recession Risk for Remainder of 2024

Published

on

2024 Midyear Outlook estimates two rate cuts and a 17-20 percent total return for the S&P 500 

OMAHA, Neb., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Carson Group released its 2024 Midyear Outlook, “Eyes on the Prize.” The investments research team forecasts an economy that continues to see a solid rate of expansion as a result of strong jobs growth and robust consumer balance sheets. As the research shows, investors are still well-positioned to take advantage of a young bull market ripe with potential and buoyed by strong earnings growth and profit margins, a resilient consumer and easing inflation.

“The data simply does not support the doom-and-gloom forecasts and headlines we’ve seen.”

“The data simply does not support the doom-and-gloom forecasts and headlines we’ve seen. The resilience of the U.S. economy is not to be underestimated,” commented Ryan Detrick, CMT, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group. “We were one of the few places who expected no recession last year and advised investors that stocks would perform well. Now, 18 months later, we still have many positives, thanks to strong consumer balance sheets, healthy corporate profits and likely a more dovish Fed.”

The Carson Group Investment team believes inflation will continue to fall and the Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates by September, with a base case of two cuts in 2024.

“Earnings growth will continue to reinforce this young bull market while economic strength will support cyclical stocks. The combination of strong business growth and a resilient economy will create a wealth of opportunities for investors moving forward,” explained Sonu Varghese, Ph.D., Vice President, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group.

Additional takeaways from the midyear outlook include:

Carson remains overweight stocks relative to bonds, with a focus on the U.S.: A potential major driver for stocks during the second half of this year will be an improvement in inflation, which likely will lead to two cuts from the Federal Reserve this year. This should be a boost to both small and midcaps, areas where Carson remains overweight.Globally, Carson Group is more neutral on developed markets outside the U.S. and remains underweight in emerging markets (mainly due to China).Industrials and financials are ripe for continued strength after a nice start to 2024. These cyclical areas will benefit from broadening sector leadership.Separate political beliefs from investments. So far, 2024 is playing out like other election years under a first-term President, with nice gains. The S&P 500 was higher the past 10 times a president was up for re-election, and this year is following the trend.

Carson Group Investment Research believes in strategic long-term decision making. It’s important when making tactical investing decisions to first, do no harm. The midyear outlook is a general guide for investors to help them achieve their long-term financial goals and focus on the real prize—living a life of freedom and purpose.

Innoscience’s current products are not affected by both rulings of the Munich Regional Court

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innoscience today announced that the Munich Regional Court has just issued a pair of rulings, from which it could be confirmed that Innoscience’s currently marketed gallium nitride (“GaN”) power device products fall outside the scope of Infineon’s asserted German patents and may be commercialized in Germany without restriction.

These rulings are fully consistent with the final determination issued last month by the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”), which found that Innoscience’s current products do not infringe Infineon’s asserted U.S. patent relating to packaging design (U.S. Patent No. 9,899,481). The Munich case concerns the German counterparts of that same patent family. In line with the ITC’s findings, the Munich Court found infringement only with respect to a limited set of legacy products—certain packaged 650–700V transistors—that had already been discontinued. Therefore, any injunction granted would not apply to Innoscience’s current product portfolio. As a result, there is no impact on Innoscience’s ongoing operations or its customers’ use of its products in Germany.

The decisions mark another significant milestone in Innoscience’s string of favorable outcomes across major jurisdictions. They follow the company’s recent success in China, where it secured an injunction and damages award against Infineon, as well as its decisive victory at the ITC in the United States last month. Together, these rulings reaffirm the legality of Innoscience’s current product portfolio and its ability to operate freely in key global markets.

While proceedings in Germany remain ongoing, including Innoscience’s invalidity challenges to the asserted German patent, the growing body of decisions across China, the United States, and Germany underscores that the global litigation campaign initiated by Infineon has not altered the competitive position of Innoscience’s core products. To the contrary, independent judicial findings across multiple jurisdictions have consistently validated the robustness of Innoscience’s technology and reinforced market confidence in the company’s product compliance and innovation capabilities.

Innoscience remains committed to advancing its technology leadership and expanding its global footprint, delivering cutting-edge GaN solutions to customers worldwide in a fair and competitive marketplace.

These environments require accurate asset management, reliable connectivity documentation, capacity planning, and operational visibility across IT and facilities.

Common infrastructure management challenges in higher education include:

Lack of a single source of truth for asset managementDistributed assets across the entire campusLimited space, power, cooling, and budget resources as digital learning, research computing, and campus IT services continue to expandMaintaining uptime and resiliency for critical academic, research, and administrative systems

HONG KONG, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NOVVA Group (“Novva”), a global AI-enabling energy infrastructure platform, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of San Jose Solar Power Plant (“SJSP”), a utility-scale solar PV project in Bukidnon, Mindanao, from Mabuhay Power Holdings Corporation. The acquisition marks Novva’s first investment in the Philippines and a critical milestone in its strategy to build a scalable, bankable power platform across Southeast Asia.

With SJSP, we are securing the strategic infrastructure needed to support the next wave of industrial and digital development. By combining disciplined execution with long-term partnerships, Novva is building a reliable clean energy foundation to power the future of Southeast Asia.”

SJSP will integrate directly into Novva’s regional platform, which combines renewable generation, flexible power solutions, energy storage, grid connectivity and infrastructure financing capabilities.
