Sector Dispersion in Q3 2024

At AKAnomics Inc., we harness the power of real-time, high-frequency Nowcasting by systematically analyzing over 8,000 global data points. AKAnomics Nowcasting data is showing that Paper Packaging and Building/Construction are exhibiting the highest levels of dispersion, highlighting valuable stock-picking opportunities. Our approach yields macroeconomic industry aggregates that are mapped back to individual companies, allowing us to gain valuable insights into the trajectory of a company’s revenue throughout the quarter. We have shown that our Nowcasting approach can identify periods good for active stock picking.


During the Q3 2024 earnings season, our analysis highlights sectors where data indicates high levels of dispersion, signifying valuable stock-picking opportunities. The chart below illustrates sectors such as Paper Packaging and Building/Construction, where the standard deviation of revenue surprises is notably high. This variability suggests that savvy investors can capitalize on relative value opportunities within these sectors.



Interestingly, even sectors with an average revenue surprise near 0%, like Specialty Retail, can exhibit high dispersion levels. This means that while the sector may align closely with consensus, the variability between individual companies offers ample opportunities for informed and strategic stock picking. By focusing on these nuanced differences, investors can uncover hidden value in today's complex market environment.


Our Nowcasting insights continue to support our mission of enabling smarter, data-driven investment decisions, adapting in real time to evolving market conditions.
