3 Deflation Enablers Stocks that Can Thrive in a Recession

3 Deflation Enablers Stocks that Can Thrive in a RecessionDeflation enablers are companies that help organizations cut costs, grow efficiencies, and optimize performance during uncertain macroeconomic environments like recessions and bear markets. As consumers pull back on spending in attempts to stretch their wallets, companies must adjust and adapt for shrinking sales and resources. People generally produce less, make less, and consume less in a recession, which is defined as two or more consecutive quarters of declining GDP. Companies that enable automation, declining costs, and process efficiency while maintaining a strong moat are the most attractive inflation enablers. According to Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) analyst Joshua Pokrzywinski, “A Deflation Enabler is a company producing tangible cost savings for customers where costs are rising from inflation or scarcity.” Here are some deflation enablers to pay attention to during a recession.

Here’s 3 Deflation Enablers Stocks that Can Thrive in a Recession

The Company provides an end-to-end automation platform enabling robotic process automation (RPA) solutions. RPA is a megatrend in the world of business and UI Path is the leader.

Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM)

These guys produce over 70% of the world’s semiconductors. Outsourcing chip production enables semiconductor companies to be asset light preserving precious capital, especially during times of economic uncertainty. Chip producing fabrication plants cost billions and takes years to construct with ongoing operating, maintenance and upgrade costs. This has caused semiconductor giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), who produce their own chips in their own fab plants, to fall behind rivals in areas like data center, artificial intelligence, mobile, automobile, and gaming. Recession fears have caused Intel stock to plunge to five-year lows, while its rivals still trade higher. The majority of Taiwan Semi revenues are generated in North America at over 60%. It derives 30% of its sales from 7 nanometer chips as 5-nanometer chips gain ground making up for 21% of chip sales. It’s revenues are derived mostly from high powered computing (HPC) at 43% and smartphones at 38%. Taiwan Semi is the world’s dominant chip maker enabling its clients to private label their chips. Their list of powerhouse brand name clients include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). Applied Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Marvel Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in addition to over 500 other chip companies. Despite the global supply chain disruption and chip shortage, Taiwan Semi is thriving on robust demand for its chips. The Company grew revenues by 43.5% YoY to $18.16 billion in Q2 2022 with EPS at $9.14. Gross margin was 59.1%, operating margin 49.1%, and net profit margin was 44.4%. The Company raised its guidance for Q3 2022 for revenues to come in between $19.8 billion to $20 billion versus $18.5 billion consensus analyst estimates with gross margins expected between $57.5% and 59.5%. Taiwan Semi expects excess inventory to rebalance through the first half of 2023. The biggest risk lies in the geopolitical tensions with China claiming Taiwan as its own.
