As of late December, a market rotation out of info tech brought the AI trade to a screeching halt. Whether that persists in 2026 will be a major area of focus, especially as analysts predict muted growth in technology earnings in 2026 versus 2025 (from 27% vs. 25%) and a decline of earnings growth in communication services (from 20% to 10%).

2 weeks ago - When stages one to four are flashing red, the trigger typically arrives within a one to two year window. That means the probability of a Stock Market Crash in 2025 or 2026 is materially elevated relative to normal times.

This argument, however, is unlikely to be decided in 2026. I think cycles will more likely play a bigger role in stock prices next year than valuations.
