    See page 21 for analyst certification and important disclosures.J.P. Morgan does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that tfirm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this report as only a single factormaking their investment decision.

    There are really two storylines supporting a constructive thesis on equity markets: (i)

    falling equity risk premia (ERP) driving a re-rate and/or (ii) reflation/cyclical lift

    driving earnings. On the former, investors are primarily leveraging this by seeking

    spread compression equities, or bond-like equities, and re-rating those higher

    hence, dividend stocks (although ironically, in past regimes of falling ERP, Cyclicals

    usually have led). And naturally, in a reflationary world, capital spending rises

    (incentives created), driving top-line/EPS acceleration and, thus, Cyclicals lead.

    Neither is mutually exclusive, but the falling ERP remains the more credible base case

    in investors consensus.

    Balance of 2Q: what storyline leads? Referring to some axioms relied upon as

    former sector analyst. In 2013, the cadence of the economic data, alternating

    between cyclical lift and softness, has tilted towards soft-side readings recently

    resulting in falling inflation expectations (TIPS, commodities, etc.) and, thus,

    providing more support for an ERP thesis than cyclical lift/reflation. In any case, the

    key question for the investor is what storyline gains credibility over the balance of

    the 2Q (8 weeks). To answer this, we refer to axioms relied on during 15 years

    (1993-2007) as former equity sector analyst covering Wireless Services (prior to

    taking the mantle as Equity Strategist at J.P. Morgan).

    Rule #1: The credit market (high-yield) is right (usually)High-Yield spreads

    at new lows point to continued new highs for equities, or no sell in May.

    Foremost, we learned in the early 1990s (and heard repeated many times from HY

    counterparts), high-yield markets lead equities. This was particularly true covering

    the capital-consuming wireless sector which relied on access to debt markets for

    viability. What is it telling us at the moment? Take a look atFigure 3; HY spreads

    recently fell to new tights (lows) for this cycle, at 484bp STW (below previous tights

    of 503bp on 3/13). As we have noted many times in the past 4 years, new HY tights

    point to new highs in equity levels, providing a supportive backdrop for stocks to

    continue to build upon recent highs. The flip-side of this is the positive backdrop

    for HY is negated if spreads widen by 25bp, or rise above 514bp STW.

    Rule #2: Crowd is usually wrongthus, no sell in May. In The Wisdom of

    Crowds, James Surowiecki argued that the judgment of the crowd is usually right

    unless judgments are not derived independently (contrasting how many gumballs in

    a jar vs. stock markets). We found this particularly pertinent when consensus is

    grounded on intuitive arguments. Take the current consensus of sell in May

    many guideposts argue for this: (i) treasury yields and commodities have plunged;

    (ii) downside reads in economic data; and (iii) this has held up in 2010, 2011 and

    2012, so why should 2013 be any different.

    We want to take the other side of this trade for multiple reasons, but the three most

    notable: (i) client positioning is diametrically opposite of that in the last 3 yearsHF

    beta, for instance, rather than registering the highs of the year in April (as was the casein 2010, 2011 and 2012) today is at the lowest levels since 8/12 (seeFigure 6); (ii) we

    believe the early downturn in gasoline (and other commodities) will act as stimulus in

    coming weeks by as much as 50bp lift to GDP (q/q)in past 3 years, gasoline surged in

    2Q and thus was a headwind; (iii) the message from continued improvement in jobless

    claims (new cycle lows this week at 324k) and the rally in HY market in the face of

    mixed economic data argues the seasonal weakness in the economy is not likely to play

    out in 2Q as in past years.

    Rule #3: Give ideas time to workCyclicals (make that High FCF Yield Cyclicals)

    should lead in 2Q. Being non-consensus also means feeling off-sides away from the

    safety of the crowd. Thus, it is tempting to consider cutting losses and moving to

    consensus. In our view, the continued outperformance of Defensives into 2Q is

    consensusafter all, if one were to position for a sell in May, why look to buy a

    Cyclical? And as noted above, the HF beta at new lows argues for investors expecting

    a sell-off. We continue to support OW Cyclicals through 2Q, albeit, high-FCF yielding.

    History supports this as we have noted in recent notes: (i) 1Q laggards have led in 2Q in

    11 of 13 years (exceptions 2002 and 2008,US Equity Strategy FLASH: 1Q Laggards

    to Outperform 2Q dated 4/4/13); (ii) the recent material underperformance of

    Cyclicals by 821bp is the 8th worst since 1973, and in the 10 worst Cyclical

    underperformance periods they outperformed in the following quarter 9 of 10 times (see

    US Equity Strategy FLASH: Europe Feedback Part II dated 4/26/13); and (iii)

    while valuations are not necessarily the reason to create turning points, Cyclicals trade

    at the largest discount to Defensives (30%) since 1990 (seeFigure 7).

    Obviously, improvements in economic data or policy backdrop will be key. Visibility

    in the US housing recovery remains impressive and this is still a multi-year story.

    There is also room for policy surprise in Europe whether from the ECB or potentiallyfrom an easing of austerity measures. And we continue to see the continued

    improvement in US jobless claims as pointing to an economy sustaining momentum

    despite concerns about seasonal weakness and sequester cuts.

    What could go wrong? Consensus continues to be right in avoiding Cyclicals. The

    risk to this view is that the consensus is right, more so on the favoring of Defensives.

    Therefore, we would see the following as undermining our views: (i) evidence emerges

    the price weakness in commodities is DUE TO DEMAND, thus, no 2Q lift; (ii) US

    sequester is more severe than anticipated leading to further misswe will have some

    sense looking at the April payrolls report; and (iii) the divergences last longer than

    expected and Cyclicals extend their underperformance another quarter.

    MARKET STRATEGY: 17 Ideas Our base case for the next two months, therefore, sees

    equities higher through end of 2Q and Cyclicals outperforming during that period. But as

    noted in past reports, we would rather buy high-FCF yield equities (over dividends),

    inclusive of Cyclicals and other areas of the market. We have identified 17 stocks using

    the following criteria: i) High FCF Yield (in the highest quartile of FCF yield, translating

    to FCF Yield 5.5%); ii) OW rated by J.P. Morgan analysts; iii) High Dividend Yield

    (above 2%); and iv) Positive upside to J.P. Morgan price targets. The tickers are: UFS,

    TEVA, CA, AAPL, CMTL, STJ, CG, PRU, BBY, WFC, TWC, BA, SPLS, KEY,

    CBL, CTL and GD (see Figure 8).

    Credit markets are right (usually) and HY sees equity marketscontinuing to rally...

    Equities, as the junior piece of the capital structure, will generally take their cues from corporate bonds, as long as valuations incorporate bonds are not extremely over-valued. For most of the last 30 years, equities were most closely linked to high-grade butsince 2009 the most correlated market has been high-yield.

    Take a look at Figure 3; HY spreads recently fell to new tights (lows) for this cycle, at 484 bp STW (below previous tights of503bp on 3/13).

    As we have noted many times in the past 4 years, new HY tights point to new highs in equity levels, providing a supportivebackdrop for stocks to continue to build upon recent highs.

    The flip-side of this is the positive backdrop for HY is negated if spreads widen by 25bp, or rise above 514bp STW.

    How much can equities ultimately re-rate? High-Yield indicates 18x P/E ratio, High-Gradesays 29.5xwell above todays 13.9x

    The question is, naturally, how high can the equity P/E re-rate?

    Take a look at Figure 5below. The divergence between the equity market P/E and those of credit continues to widen. To

    illustrate the differences in valuation, we inverted the yield of the HG and HY markets.

    For instance, in 2009, equities traded at only a 4.6x discount to HG bonds and were actually at PREMIUM to HY by 3.1x.

    Today, the difference has widened sharply. The discount to high-grade bonds is now 15.6x (HG trades at a 29.5x P/E) andequities are now at a discount to HY bonds (4.1x turn discount).

    The consensus of sell in May is built on multiple arguments but the most prominent seem to be: (i) treasury yields andcommodities have plunged; (ii) downside reads in economic data; and (iii) this has held up in 2010, 2011 and 2012, so why should2013 be any different.

    Cyclicals should lead in 2Qultimately

    We continue to support OW Cyclicals through 2Q, albeit, high-FCF yielding. History supports this as we noted in recent notes:

    (i) 1Q laggards have led in 2Q in 11 of 13 years (exceptions 2002 and 2008 seeUS Equity Strategy FLASH: 1Q Laggards to

    Outperform 2Q dated 4/4/13);

    (ii) The recent material underperformance of Cyclicals by 821bp is the 8th worst since 1973, and in the 10 worst Cyclicalunderperformance periods, they outperformed in the following quarter 9 of 10 times (seeUS Equity Strategy FLASH:Europe Feedback Part II dated 4/26/13); and

    (iii) While valuations are not necessarily the reason to create turning points, Cyclicals trade at the largest discount to Defensives(30%) since 1990 (see Figure 7).

    MARKET STRATEGY

    Our base case for the next two months, therefore, sees equities higher through end of 2Q and Cyclicals outperforming during thatperiod. But as we have noted in past reports, we would rather buy high-FCF yield equities (over dividends), inclusive of Cyclicalsand other areas of the market. We have identified 17 stocks, listed in Figure 8,based on the following criteria:

    High FCF Yield (in the highest quartile of FCF Yield, translating to FCF Yield 5.5%);

    OW rated by J.P. Morgan analysts;

    High Dividend Yield (above 2%); and

    Positive upside to J.P. Morgan price targets.

    These 17 names (see Figure 8) have an average upside potential to target prices of 15%, as well as an average 2013E P/E of 11.0xand a 1.42x P/B. On average, they have 18% FCF Yield and 3% Dividend Yield. The tickers are: UFS, TEVA, CA, AAPL,CMTL, STJ, CG, PRU, BBY, WFC, TWC, BA, SPLS, KEY, CBL, CTL and GD.

In February, the Case-Shiller 20-city composite indexincreased 1.2% samr (+9.3% oya). Geographically, the prices are up in all 20 metropolitan areas over the most recent 1, 3, 6 and12 months (SA). Despite the weakening of other economic indicators, recent housing dataprice rise above expectations forFebruary according to J.P. Morgan Economistshighlights the strength of the housing market. (SeeUS: Case-Shiller dated4/30/13.)

    Initial claims down 18k during the week ending April 27

    Initial claims for the week ending April 7 fell 18k to 324k, the lowest since Jan-08. As claims data is relatively timelycompared to most other economic indicators, the recent improvement is a positive for the economy, contrasting many of therecent signs of slowing economic growth of late. J.P. Morgan Economists believe that growth has slowed between 1Q and 2Q;however, it appears that growth is limited as labor market will be relatively modest. (SeeUS: Claims... dated 5/2/13.)
