LPL Research presents a resilient outlook for the U.S. economy and equity markets, underpinned by robust corporate adaptability.
Despite potential headwinds from tariffs, companies have successfully protected margins, and GDP growth could reach an annualized 3%. The report notes that “expectations keep rising, the bar keeps going higher, and corporate America continues to clear it handily.
Looking forward, AI-driven productivity is expected to be a primary tailwind, with S&P 500 operating margins forecast to exceed 17.5% within a year.
However, the report warns that current valuations reflect significant optimism, leading to muted price reactions even for earnings beats. Consequently, LPL maintains a “tactical neutral stance on equities”.
While acknowledging near-term risks, they believe the broader market’s long-term uptrend remains intact, potentially creating a “dip buying opportunity between now and year-end”.
Strategically, the committee continues to favor large-cap growth stocks and the communication services sector, highlighting that the “earnings growth gap between mega cap tech and the rest of the market is still huge”.
