What's Next: Banco De Chile's Earnings Preview

After a rocky start to the month that led to a global market rout, two major inflation data seemed to have steadied the ship as the broader equity markets inched closer to all-time highs reached in mid-July. While the producer price index (a measure of wholesale prices) was up 0.1% last month, the consumer price index (a broad-based measure of prices for goods and services) increased 0.2%. This put the 12-month inflation rate at 2.9% &mdash; the lowest since March 2021.
While the data gave an uncertain market some direction after the erratic movement last week, it also portrayed the resilience of the economy. This, in turn, led to optimism about a possible rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month, triggering an uptrend for the stocks. With a better-than-expected 2.8% annualized GDP growth in the second quarter and solid labor market conditions, it appeared that the economy was back on the growth track, cooling recessionary fears.
As investors employ a wait-and-see approach in a classic example of &quot;backing and filling&quot; in the market, they can benefit from &quot;cash cow&quot; stocks that garner higher returns. However, identifying cash-rich stocks alone does not make for a solid investment proposition unless it is backed by attractive efficiency ratios like return on equity (ROE). A high ROE ensures that the company is reinvesting cash at a high rate of return. Upbound Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/upbd#NASDAQ">UPBD</a>), The AES Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aes#NYSE">AES</a>), Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acgl#NASDAQ">ACGL</a>), PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/phm#NYSE">PHM</a>) and Banco de Chile (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bch#NYSE">BCH</a>) are some of the stocks with high ROE to profit from.
<h3>ROE: A Key Metric</h3>
ROE = Net Income/Shareholders&#39; Equity
ROE helps investors distinguish profit-generating companies from profit burners and is useful in determining the financial health of a company. In other words, this financial metric enables investors to identify companies that diligently deploy cash for higher returns.
Moreover, ROE is often used to compare the profitability of a company with other firms in the industry &mdash; the higher, the better. It measures how well a company is multiplying its profits without investing new equity capital and portrays management&#39;s efficiency in rewarding shareholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns.
<h3>Screening Parameters</h3>
In order to shortlist stocks that are cash-rich with high ROE, we have added Cash Flow greater than $1 billion and ROE greater than X-Industry as our primary screening parameters. In addition, we have taken a few other criteria into consideration to arrive at a winning strategy.
Price/Cash Flow lesser than X-Industry: This metric measures how much investors pay for $1 of free cash flow. A lower ratio indicates that investors need to pay less for a better cash flow-generating stock.
Return on Assets (ROA) greater than X-Industry: This metric determines how much profit a company earns for every dollar of asset, which includes cash, accounts receivable, property, equipment, inventory and furniture. The higher the ROA, the better it is for the company.
5-Year EPS Historical Growth greater than X-Industry: This criterion indicates that continued earnings momentum has translated into solid cash strength.
Zacks Rank less than or equal to 2: Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) stocks are known to outperform irrespective of the market environment.
Here are five of the 11 stocks that qualified the screening:

Buy 5 High ROE Stocks as Low Inflation Data Steadies Market

The broader U.S. equity markets witnessed a modest uptrend over the past few trading days, buoyed by optimism related to rate cuts driven by easing inflationary pressures and solid economic metrics that portrayed the resilience of the economy. In addition, a relatively healthy earnings performance from hitherto reported companies ignited hopes of a possible rate cut as early as September.
The markets now await the Federal Reserve&#39;s update on the monetary policy as it wraps up its policy meeting later today. Although the Fed is widely expected to keep the benchmark funds rate steady in the 5.25% to 5.5% range, investors are seeking cues for probable cuts in the near future. With a better-than-expected 2.8% annualized GDP growth in the second quarter and a robust labor market scenario, the conditions appear primed to heed the broader sentiments.
As investors employ a wait-and-see approach in a classic example of &quot;backing and filling&quot; in the market, they can benefit from &quot;cash cow&quot; stocks that garner higher returns. However, identifying cash-rich stocks alone does not make for a solid investment proposition unless it is backed by attractive efficiency ratios like return on equity (ROE).

What Happened: Bitcoin, which dropped to as low as $65,000 overnight, surged during much of the U.S. day, reaching a high point of over $69,000 at one stage.
&#8220;If we continue to see inflation moving sideways, then that would make me question whether we [need] to do those rate cuts at all,&#8221; said Kashkari during a virtual event on LinkedIn.
Given that Kashkari has been one of the more hawkish members of the Fed, his comments shouldn&#8217;t have come as a complete surprise, but they prompted a swift downturn in stocks. Furthermore, his remarks contradicted statements from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who expressed his ongoing anticipation of rate cuts at some point this year.

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst Michael Van de Poppe suggests that Bitcoin has been trading within a range for over three weeks.
"Breaking through $69K and we&#8217;ll get an ATH test, but ultimately the volatility is going down and we&#8217;re likely rotating towards altcoins."

Pseudonymous analyst TechDev said Bitcoin could be preparing for a significant breakout, citing a combination of aligning indicators.
TechDev believes that the Wyckoff accumulation schematic points to a bullish trend for digital assets. The Wyckoff accumulation schematic indicates potential trend reversals from bearish to bullish in cryptocurrency markets, suggesting a period of accumulation before an upward price movement.

According to Rekt Capital, Bitcoin is currently going through a correction phase in anticipation of the upcoming halving, set to take place in a little over two weeks.
Rekt Capital <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szyf8LsmFwM">said </a>"So this pre-halving retrace began around 30 days before the halving and so we are in the thick of the danger zone…Because we're still in the danger zone anything can still go. This is still volatility that's supposed to get us closer to establishing a re-accumulation range at these highs. So any volatility around this danger zone [between $73,800 and mid $60,000s] is still all within historical norms."
The analyst also mentioned that it&#8217;s &#8220;very unlikely that we&#8217;re going to see a 40% pullback in this cycle for Bitcoin."

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst Michael Van de Poppe suggests that from a technical perspective, keeping an eye on Bitcoin at the $67,000 mark is crucial.
"If that holds, we&#8217;ll likely see another ATH test pre-halving."

Van de Poppe believes that Bitcoin is about to see a significant increase, targeting a range of $75,000 to $80,000 leading up to the halving event. This forecast is based on Bitcoin&#8217;s current consolidation phase, suggesting a buildup towards testing its all-time high, with the potential for a subsequent correction.&nbsp;
"I think that we&#8217;re close to the peak of this run, but I think we&#8217;ll have another ATH test, perhaps even $75-80K pre-halving and then we&#8217;re correcting. During that consolidation/correction phase, I expect altcoins to outperform."
Ali Martinez, an on-chain analyst stated that the most significant resistance barrier ahead of Bitcoin is between $70,180 and $70,600, where 292,000 addresses 397,000 BTC. &#8220;If BTC can break past this barrier, it will likely march toward new all-time highs."

Why Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic And Litecoin Are Rising

Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>) and Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) are trading lower by 4.9% to $397.52 and 5% to $28.89 Friday afternoon. Shares of several altcoins are falling, pulling back following Thursday&#8217;s strength in Bitcoin as the apex crypto pulls back for the session.
Bitcoin is the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency. As such, its price movements often influence the overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
When Bitcoin experiences a significant drop or rise, it can trigger similar movements in other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum due to investors&#8217; reactions to the broader market sentiment.

Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum also share some technical similarities as cryptocurrencies, including blockchain technology and consensus mechanisms.
Changes in the technical aspects of one cryptocurrency, such as upgrades or scalability issues, can impact market perceptions of other cryptocurrencies with similar technical features.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Going On With Crypto?</h2>
Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were observing a consistent pattern of net outflows spanning four consecutive days, totaling $93.85 million according to data from SoSoValue as of March 21. This indicates a cautious sentiment among investors. 
Specifically, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) reported a significant single-day net outflow of $358 million, contributing to its historical net outflow surpassing $13.63 billion. This highlights an ongoing trend of capital withdrawal from the GBTC fund&#8230;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37888031/should-you-stay-or-should-you-go-bitcoin-spot-etfs-hemorrhaging-cash-on-4-consecutive-days">Read More</a>

What's Going On With Bitcoin Cash And Ethereum Classic?

A pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst DonAlt said that Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) might see a substantial price increase, and potentially reaching $1.
What Happened: According to DonAlt, Dogecoin could potentially rise by 554% by a value of $1—a significant jump from its current trading price of $0.153.
&#8220;The reason why I found DOGE interesting is because it kind of dipped back into support on the BTC chart,&#8221; DonAlt explained in a YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ue5HOIWmP8">video</a>. 
He also said the circumstances under which his prediction for Dogecoin&#8217;s growth could be proven incorrect. Should the value fall to a certain point above $0.05, it would contradict his bullish prediction, while a climb to $1 remains his goal. Talking about price points, the analyst said, &#8220;Invalidation down here somewhere [above $0.05], target up there [$1]&#8230; I think that&#8217;s not the worst&#8230; especially when it was trading at $0.12 or $0.13.&#8221;
Another pseudonymous analyst Ali Martinez shed light on the heavy purchasing of Dogecoin by large-scale holders known as &#8216;whales.&#8217; Over a 72-hour window, these big investors have snapped up 25 million coins of Dogecoin, worth approximately $3.75 million.

Dogecoin To $1? Crypto Analyst Predicts 550% Rally For DOGE 'Because It Kind Of Dipped Back...'

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) is catching the eye of cryptocurrency analysts who suggest the meme coin may be gearing up for a price surge. 
What Happened: Bluntz Capital, a pseudonymous crypto analyst, in a tweet on X said, &#8220;$doge finally looks ready to rip higher again,&#8221; referencing a price pattern on both the USD and Bitcoin trading pairs that indicate a potential upswing following a steady decline since February.
Bluntz Capital&#8217;s analysis is based on observed price patterns when Dogecoin is traded against the United States dollar and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). According to these patterns, after a period of downward movement or decline in value since February, there are indications that the coin is set to reverse its trend and begin an upward trajectory.

'DOGE Finally Looks Ready To Rip Higher,' Says Crypto Analyst Following Period Of Consolidation

Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, has disclosed an initiative to venture into futures trading with Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>), and Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>).&nbsp;
What Happened: In a series of communications to the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on March 7, Coinbase Derivatives revealed its intention to introduce cash-settled futures contracts for Dogecoin, with prices marked at $0.15, Litecoin at $85.20, and Bitcoin Cash at $413, aiming for an April 1 rollout.
The company cited Dogecoin&#8217;s appeal and strong community backing as evidence of its status within the cryptocurrency landscape. "Dogecoin&#8217;s enduring popularity and the active community support suggest that it has transcended its origins as a meme to become a staple of the cryptocurrency world."
One of the letters specifically emphasized the approach for Dogecoin futures, indicating a launch on or after April 1, 2024.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: After the announcement, Dogecoin was up 17% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.12 as per data from CoinMarketCap.
On Wednesday, DOGE co-founder Billy Markus said these new meme coins are nothing more than random creations.
Markus, also known by the pseudonym Shibetoshi Nakamoto on X,  said that creating meme coins takes only a few cents and a couple of seconds. He underscored there are no developers or teams behind these coins, so he has no plans to invest in any of them.

Dogecoin's 'Enduring Popularity' Spurs Coinbase To Introduce DOGE Futures Trading

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) offshoot, Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>), surged 6.78% to $86.03 on Wednesday at the time of writing. On the same day, Litecoin said that Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) had filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to kick off futures trading for the cryptocurrency.
What Happened: It should be noted that the cryptocurrency trading platform also moved to launch monthly cash-settled futures contracts for Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Bloomberg Intelligence ETF research analyst, James Seyffart, said on X that Coinbase&#8217;s move raises interesting regulatory questions with respect to the classification the three Bitcoin forked cryptocurrencies. He said, &#8220;Might be why Coinbase chose them.&#8221; He also shared the certifications, filed &#8220;quietly&#8221; with the CFTC, in the same post.
&#8220;These all forked from Bitcoin so &#8216;these are securities&#8217; claims would be hard to make after spot #Bitcoin ETF approvals,&#8221; said Seyffart.

Why It Matters: Litecoin emerged in October 2011. It was created by Charles &#8220;Charlie&#8221; Lee, a former Google engineer. Derived from Bitcoin&#8217;s open-source code, Litecoin is mined on ASICs as well as GPUs. Similarly, Dogecoin and Bitcoin Cash were also forked from Bitcoin in 2013 and 2017 respectively.
This announcement comes at a time of significant market volatility. Coinbase has been facing its own challenges, with some users experiencing issues with their crypto sends and receives being displayed as pending. The exchange <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37830155/coinbase-global-inc-says-aware-that-some-users-may-see-their-crypto-sends-and-receives-as-pending">acknowledged this problem</a> and assured users that their funds were safe.
The following day, the market experienced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37838471/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-plunge-as-650m-worth-of-crypto-liquidated-in-a-single-day-analys">a significant downturn</a>, with over $650 million worth of crypto being liquidated in a single day. 
This was followed by a 13% drop in Bitcoin&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) value, on Mar. 20, prompting the question of whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37847337/bitcoin-dumps-13-from-its-all-time-high-what-caused-the-crypto-crash-will-it-recover">the crypto market</a> would recover.
Despite this, the demand for cryptocurrencies remains high, with Coinbase&#8217;s decision to offer futures trading for these assets reflecting a growing interest in the market. The move also highlights the increasing importance of altcoins like Dogecoin and Litecoin, which were initially created as a joke but have since gained significant traction in the crypto space.

Dogecoin, Litecoin, And Bitcoin Cash Futures Trading Set To Be Unveiled By Coinbase On April Fool's Day

Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>) and Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/etc/usd">ETC</a>) are trading lower by 1.3% to $374.02 and 3.7% to $28.92 Tuesday, though off their session lows. Shares of several crypto-related stocks and altcoins are falling, pulling back following recent, marked strength in Bitcoin as the apex crypto pulls back from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37818268/bitcoin-plunges-below-63-000-triggers-market-wide-crypto-selloff">all-time high levels</a>.
Bitcoin is the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency. As such, its price movements often influence the overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
When Bitcoin experiences a significant drop or rise, it can trigger similar movements in other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum due to investors' reactions to the broader market sentiment.

Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum also share some technical similarities as cryptocurrencies, including blockchain technology and consensus mechanisms.
Changes in the technical aspects of one cryptocurrency, such as upgrades or scalability issues, can impact market perceptions of other cryptocurrencies with similar technical features.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Going On With Crypto?</h2>
Bitcoin prices experienced a significant decline, dropping below $63,000 on Tuesday morning, leading to a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market. The total market capitalization decreased by 8% within 24 hours. Analysts attribute this drop to a shift in investor sentiment. 
Data indicates a notable outflow from the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF on Monday, a significant investment avenue for institutional investors&#8230;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37818268/bitcoin-plunges-below-63-000-triggers-market-wide-crypto-selloff">Read More</a>
