Everything is getting worse, but the country hasn’t collapsed. This is all by design. Donald Trump is a useful idiot for the people behind the scenes and Project 2025, most notably Russell Vought. The Trump administration is using the nation’s finances like a personal piggy bank for themselves and large corporations while gutting agencies that provide critical services. The misconception is that Trump is driving things into the ground. He’s not. He’s just making things so shitty that the corporate state looks good in comparison.

Eric Criscuolo, Market Strategist at the NYSE, reviews a market increasingly defined by sharp sector rotations as AI-related semiconductor and memory stocks pulled back after massive gains earlier this year. Weakness in semis contrasted with renewed strength in hyperscalers, improving performance from software, and catch-up rallies across Healthcare and Financials. Meanwhile, escalating tensions involving Iran pushed oil prices higher and helped keep longer-term Treasury yields elevated despite cooler inflation data.

Markets continue to ride the rising 20-day moving average as a tightening price wedge keeps the bullish trend intact. A breakout above resistance could fuel another leg higher, but investors should also be watching the calendar as August and September have historically brought weaker seasonal performance and lighter trading volumes. Lance Roberts discusses why sector rotation may become the next big market story. Financials and Healthcare have lagged while Technology and Semiconductor stocks have led the rally. If leadership begins to shift, it could signal a more defensive, risk-off environment rather than the start of a broader market decline. We also examine what technical levels matter most and what could determine whether markets continue higher or finally take a breather.

Canadian equities gained in the second quarter of 2026 even as the economy tripped the technical definition of a recession and an oil shock sent crude toward $120 before it fell back. Institutional portfolio manager Kevin Minas and investment counsellor Stu Morrow review the quarter, from the gap between the Canadian market and the Canadian economy to the case for holding commodity exposure as geopolitical risk becomes a recurring feature rather than a one-off. They also discuss what a narrow, AI-led rally means for a diversified portfolio, record hyperscaler bond issuance in Canada, and how the Bank of Canada and the Fed held rates through a volatile stretch. The conversation closes on the quarter's asset allocation: trimming equities back toward a neutral mix. Key Takeaways Canada met the technical definition of a recession, but the picture underneath was nuanced. GDP rebounded about 0.5% in April with most industries expanding, and per-capita output grew, closer to a stall-speed economy than a true contraction. The market and the economy can tell different stories. Financials and energy dominate the TSX while real estate and healthcare drive more of the real economy, which helps explain a roughly 7% TSX return alongside soft growth. Geopolitical risk increasingly looks like a recurring condition rather than a rare tail event. With oil spiking near $120 before falling back toward $70, the episode makes the case that commodity exposure can play a portfolio-construction role, chosen selectively where valuation and business quality support it, rather than serving as a call on prices. The Fed stood pat under new chair Kevin Warsh, and the Bank of Canada held across its April and June meetings after cutting substantially. In Canadian bonds, the team added duration as yields rose on inflation fears and removed it as they fell. On AI, the aim is not to guess whether the buildout keeps running, but to choose which risk to live with: too much concentration in the theme on one side, or falling behind by stepping away from it on the other. The team keeps the portfolio from leaning too far in either direction by weighing the companies spending on the buildout against the hyperscalers earning from it, since one company's capital spending is another's revenue. With memory stocks, the risk lies less in the multiple paid than in the cyclicality of the earnings. Credit was constructive, with record hyperscaler issuance in Canada including a $14 billion Amazon deal that Mawer participated in. With spreads tight, positioning stayed higher-quality and shorter-dated, and the balanced strategy trimmed equities back toward a neutral asset mix.

This week we read the federal budget the way it’s meant to be read: as a moral document. What it shows is individuals paying more, corporations getting refunds, classrooms getting gutted, and the pentagon getting fed, all while the deficit stays exactly where it always was. The “fiscally responsible” costume is just that. Then we looked at the strategic petroleum reserve, which is sitting at 1983 levels after nearly 100 million barrels drawn down since the Iran war began—and with China about to reenter the market and the strait still choked off, the traders who’ve been keeping oil prices contained are running out of room.

Markets are feeling the pressure this Monday morning as rising US-Iran tensions fuel higher oil prices, bond yields and the dollar, while equities drift lower. But with earnings season now taking centre stage, investors are asking a bigger question: can AI leaders and chipmakers justify their stellar gains from the first half of the year?

Markets are pulling back after Monday's momentum buy signal as investors digest news that China's DeepSeek has reportedly developed its own AI chip. Is this the beginning of a larger rotation away from the semiconductor leaders that have powered this bull market? Lance Roberts examines why semiconductor stocks have become increasingly vulnerable after a parabolic advance, how new competition can quickly change supply-and-demand expectations, and why profit-taking in one sector can ripple through the entire market. We also discuss why defensive sectors, including Healthcare, Financials, Utilities, Real Estate, and Consumer Staples, could begin attracting capital if technology leadership continues to weaken. We'll review the technical backdrop, explain why momentum remains positive despite today's softer opening, and discuss practical risk-management strategies investors should consider as market leadership begins to broaden.

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a volatile week as the S&P 500 declined amid weakness across mega-cap and AI-linked names. A growing divide within the AI trade emerged, with hyperscalers and software under pressure while memory and chip suppliers saw sharp swings. Despite index weakness, market internals held firm, with eight sectors higher and small caps outperforming. Rotation into Healthcare and Financials accelerated alongside falling oil prices, easing yields, and shifting Fed expectations. Focus now turns to quarter-end flows, key data including payrolls, and evolving AI spending trends.

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q1 operations and financials at the McCreedy West Mine located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Then we dive into an overall exploration and development update at the prior-producing Levack Mine, and a development update at Crean Hill to map out what the pathway to restarting production would entail at both mines. We start off noting the graduation from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The Common Shares just began trading on the TSX at market earlier this week on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, and will continue to trade under the current stock symbol, (“NICU”). Jason highlights the extra liquidity and potential for passive fund inclusion that this will present in the fullness of time. Q1 Operations and Financial Highlights: Positive cash margin of $6.0 million at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals-nickel Mine. In Q1 2026, 82,296 tons of ore was processed from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone at McCreedy West at a grade of 3.38% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) based on realized metal prices in the quarter. The Company produced 4.1 million CuEq payable pounds (“lbs”) in Q1 2026. With both tonnage and grades forecast to increase from Q1, the Company continues to expect to achieve full year production guidance of 16-18 million CuEq payable lbs. Quarterly cash costs of US$3.48 per CuEq lb, and All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of US$4.21 per CuEq lb, respectively. Production costs per ton processed in Q1 2026 declined by 5.3% quarter over quarter to $214 per ton. Ended Q1 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $35.8 million and a working capital balance of $53.7 million. Exploration and evaluation expenses in Q1 2026 of $2.8 million, including $2.3 million at Levack Mine as focus transitioned to infrastructure readiness to support early ore sources and new underground exploration platforms to test the R2 Footwall Zone, with completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) expected in Q3. During Q1 2026, the Company announced initial Mining Reserves for the 700/PM copper-precious metals Zones at McCreedy West which demonstrate an initial three-year production profile, assuming forecasted mining rates which are in line with the current operation and 2026 guidance. We reviewed the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine. Highlights from the new assay results include: MLV-26-14A W2 – intercepted 9.4% Cu, 2.3% Ni, 28.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 52.9 g/t Ag (29.7% CuEq) over 3.4 metres, Including 18.7% Cu, 0.7% Ni, 60.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 103.8 g/t Ag (57.0% CuEq) over 1.5 metres, And 21.4% Cu, 0.4% Ni, 40.8 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 152.0 g/t Ag (34.0% CuEq) over 0.4 metres, MLV-26-14A W3 - intercepted 22.5% Cu, 1.4% Ni, 49.9 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 135.0 g/t Ag (43.9% CuEq) over 1.1 metres; And 14.0% Cu, 1.9% Ni, 47.2 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 96.0 g/t Ag (36.2% CuEq) over 1.5 metres, The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during 2026. At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. Jason highlights that a development drift is being implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans. Next we review the ongoing workstreams for Crean Hill that will be feeding into the upcoming PFS later this year. He notes that the significantly higher precious metals today compared to back in 2022 will be a factor that plays into the updated economics, and maps out that the ramp-up into production could commence as early as H2 2027. We wrap up discussing that the prior-producing Poldosky Mine and the development-stage Shakespeare Project are still both permitted assets of merit and will feed the development cue as mines number 4 and 5 further down the road.

In this episode, CSI is cutting through the social media noise to bring you a vintage Chip Stock Investor breakdown of the semiconductor supply chain. Today, we are putting the spotlight on Oxford Instruments, a small-cap UK company that might be a critical bottleneck in the AI data center networking boom. We explore how the industry is scaling up production for compound semiconductors and specifically look at Coherent's breakthrough with six-inch indium phosphide (InP) wafers. From there, we map out the players making this transition possible and detail why Oxford Instruments' plasma deposition and etch systems are moving out of the R&D lab and onto the commercial manufacturing floor. Episode Chapters & Key Takeaways:The Indium Phosphide Breakthrough: The industry has long been stuck at two- to four-inch wafers due to manufacturing defects, but Coherent has successfully transitioned to six-inch InP wafers. Mapping the Supply Chain: A breakdown of the companies involved in this ecosystem, including Sumitomo Electric for substrates, KLA Corp and Onto Innovation for inspection, and Applied Materials for deposition. Oxford Instruments' Critical Role: Oxford Instruments supplies the plasma deposition and etch technology used by Coherent to create features like laser sources and waveguides. A Shift to Commercial Scale: Historically an R&D business spun out of Oxford University, the company is now seeing its advanced technologies group transition into early-stage commercial production. Strategic Divestitures: Oxford Instruments recently sold its quantum computing and cryogenics segment to Quantum Design to focus heavily on AI data centers and compound semiconductors. Financials & Valuation: Despite recent headwinds like tariffs and US R&D funding delays, the company holds a clean balance sheet and is expecting a return to growth in fiscal 2027.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, host Telis Demos and Heard on the Street columnist Jonathan Weil sit down with Kevin Koharki, principal at CAE Consulting and professor at Purdue University, to pull back the curtain on the opaque world of tech companies' financial statements. They dig into why the massive infrastructure spend on AI data centers might be obscuring other fundamental corporate costs, specifically stock-based compensation. Koharki explains why tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Google's parent company Alphabet need to provide clearer financial reporting. He breaks down the challenge investors face in distinguishing between necessary AI capital expenditure and other underlying costs, and why greater transparency is critical to accurately valuing these businesses in the current market. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, and Miriam Gottfried, WSJ's investing and wealth management reporter, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

David Bahnsen recaps Tuesday, June 16 market action with the Dow up 329 points (+0.64%) while the S&P fell over 0.5% and the Nasdaq dropped 1.15% as big tech/AI names sold off. Oil fell another 4.5% with WTI around $77, and the 10-year yield declined three basis points to 4.437%. Financials rallied about 1.5% (helping the Dow), with strength also in some healthcare names, while energy mostly continued lower. Bahnsen argues Monday's rally was less about Iran/Strait of Hormuz headlines and more a return to AI-tech momentum, which reversed Tuesday, framing the key market tension as AI momentum and valuations versus more fundamental sectors like REITs, healthcare, industrials, and staples. He also defines “first-year maximum drawdown” as the largest peak-to-trough decline in a stock's first year post-IPO. 00:00 Market Recap Overview 00:38 Sector Rotation Snapshot 01:31 Bonds and Tech Divergence 02:11 Debunking the Iran Rally 03:04 AI Momentum vs Fundamentals 04:07 What Drawdown Means 05:02 Wrap Up and Contact Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
If you are within three feet of Ed Mathews, you are probably talking about real estate. This week the conversation is with Tom Dunkel, managing principal at Eagle Capital Investments, and it is a clinic in how to vet a deal before a dollar leaves your account. Tom has been a full-time investor for two decades. Over that span he has raised more than $50 million in private capital from a network of investors who lean on his experience to place money into alternatives most people never see: multifamily, self-storage, mobile home parks, medical office, and private lending. His pitch is simple. Real diversification is not large cap versus small cap or value versus growth. It is owning assets that do not move when a headline does. As Tom puts it, a tsunami hitting Japan can knock the stock market down 15 percent overnight, but it does nothing to an apartment building in Phoenix or a storage facility in North Carolina. The backbone of the episode is Tom's SAFE Investing Method, the same screen he uses every day. S is for sponsor: who are you writing the check to, what is their track record, and have you earned the right to ask the hard questions. A is for asset: if you cannot explain the investment to your kid or your elderly parent, you do not understand it well enough to fund it. F is for financials: do the projections hold up, and has this sponsor actually hit numbers like these before. E is for exit: you cannot click your way out of a syndication on a Tuesday afternoon, so you need to know exactly what has to happen, and over what time horizon, before your money comes back. Then Tom goes off the mainstream script on taxes. The standard advice is to 1031 exchange again and again until you die and hand your heirs a stepped-up basis. Tom's question is blunt: do you really want to be managing properties at 90 the way his mother could be. He prefers the lazy man's 1031, taking the gain, then using fresh depreciation from the next deal to shelter income, all without the rigid timelines and same-title rules that make a true 1031 nearly impossible across a group of 20 or 30 investors. Pay the freedom tax, he argues, and buy yourself passive income and time. The buy box conversation is just as practical. Tom likes private lending for first-position security and monthly checks. He likes mobile home parks and co-living because they answer the housing affordability crisis with real, unsubsidized supply, and he breaks down how a Philadelphia operator turns a $1,000 row home into $3,000 a month by renting furnished rooms to tenants on fixed income. He covers where self-storage sits after its boom and consolidation, and why he treats it like multifamily underwriting now. On technology, Tom is candid that he is still early but already getting leverage from AI. His current workflow is to go back and forth with Claude to build a long, specific prompt, then hand it to Manus for deep research on a market like Phoenix multifamily. He even has an AI clone at tomdunkel.ai that will answer your investing questions, as long as you do not bring up the Eagles. The lightning round digs into purpose beyond family, the best advice he ever got from a nine-figure investor, a job he probably should have turned down, and how he defines success now as an empty nester: geographic and time freedom, plus the room to give back through Tunnel to Towers and a scholarship he started for a friend lost to ALS.

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, breaks down a choppy week as the S&P 500 slips modestly while underlying market breadth remains firm. Ongoing Iran headlines continued to drive intraday volatility, though reactions appeared more muted as investors priced in a path toward de-escalation. Tech came under pressure, with notable weakness across semis, software, and mega-caps fueling a broader rotation into Financials, Healthcare, and small caps. Economic data, including a closely watched CPI report, kept yields elevated and added to the shifting sector dynamics. Focus now shifts to the Fed's upcoming meeting, key economic releases, and continued positioning ahead of major IPO activity.
India Market Risks and New Opportunities Explained on The Core Report Weekend Edition with Govindraj Ethiraj explores how Indian markets, global uncertainty and economic disruption are shaping investors, businesses and professionals.As market volatility rises, India faces faster economic cycles, geopolitical risk, AI disruption, supply chain shifts, defence spending, climate change, global investing and changing investor behaviour. In this episode, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj leads a sharp conversation with Radhika Gupta of Edelweiss Mutual Fund and Navneet Munot of HDFC AMC on how India can navigate market risk and find new opportunities in a world where old assumptions may no longer work.The discussion explores why diversification matters, why Indian investors may need to think beyond traditional equity and debt, and how global markets, US technology, China, emerging markets and India's growth story are changing the way capital moves.Radhika Gupta explains why resilient portfolios matter more than chasing market noise, while Navneet Munot breaks down why uncertainty, momentum and economic disruption are now central to understanding financial markets.This is not a conversation about quick stock tips or easy investing hacks. It is about the bigger forces behind business, investing, macroeconomics, AI, manufacturing, defence, financial services, global markets and India's long term economic future.CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction(07:20) Building Portfolios That Can Survive(13:40) Navigating An Unpredictable, Faster & Questionable World(23:00) How The World And Investments Have Changed(26:37) How Portfolio Construction Has Changed Over the Last Decade(31:33) Building an Asset Management Business for a Changing Market(32:30) Global Investing and International Funds(36:20) Is Diversification The Need Of The Hour?

Clean financials are the backbone of your business's true value, not just a last-minute task for your accountant before selling. Neil Twa, host of The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast, dives into why solid financials are essential for a successful business exit. He shares real stories, like Marcus, who was pulling in $40,000 a month with two private label brands on Amazon. Neil outlines three actionable steps to get your financials in order, whether you're making $8,000 or $800,000 a month. The key takeaway? It's not the flashy revenue numbers that secure the best exit multiples, but the peace of mind clean books offer to buyers. Ready to audit your AI readiness?

Today, we are breaking down Toast, a name we have covered before but are revisiting because the story has changed enough to be worth telling again. Most listeners will have tapped a Toast terminal without thinking much about the business behind it. Our guest is Sean Barrett, founder, managing partner, and chief investment officer of Counter Global, who holds Toast as one of his largest positions and walks us through how a restaurant point of sale company became the operating system that runs the restaurant. He argues that Toast is best understood as the operating system for the restaurant rather than a payments terminal with software attached, and that the business grows as fast and as profitably as it does because the company spent years building purpose-built hardware, a multi-tenant software platform, and a sales force on the ground before it moved into new markets across grocery, enterprise, hospitality, and international. We also discuss why a business winning roughly half of new restaurant openings in the United States still trades at a multiple that looks closer to a mature company than a category killer.

Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, recaps a strong week as the S&P 500 extends its winning streak and climbs toward fresh record highs. Markets responded to a steady stream of conflicting Iran ceasefire headlines, ultimately pricing in progress toward a near-term resolution. Tech led the way, with semiconductors and AI-linked names driving outsized gains alongside strength in higher-risk sectors. Falling oil prices and lower yields supported equity performance, while Energy and Financials lagged amid shifting macro dynamics. Attention now turns to labor market data, upcoming earnings, and month-end flows as investors assess the durability of the rally.

On this episode of The Beacon Way podcast, Adrienne interviews Reno-based CPA and business broker Mike Bosma about his path from studying accounting (originally planning on law) to working at Deloitte and Grant Thornton, then launching his own CPA firm in 2007. Bosma shares how a Reno KOH radio show led to a broader advisory platform that later became a podcast, and discusses selling his CPA firm in 2017, why the acquirer struggled with the firm's consulting-heavy model, and how he reacquired it in 2021 while also building a brokerage practice. He offers guidance on preparing to sell a business: making the founder replaceable, negotiating role clarity before closing, practicing transparency, and keeping accurate accrual-based financials free of personal expenses, along with insights on private equity structures and post-sale transition planning.Mike Bosma – Keystone CPAshttps://keystone.cpa/bosma-on-business/775-786-4900mbosma@keystone.cpa.com
Markets continue pushing to new highs, but the rally is becoming increasingly dependent on one sector: Technology. With XLK and Semiconductor stocks driving the majority of gains, market breadth remains weak beneath the surface. Communications, Financials, Energy, and Materials are telling a very different story than the headline indexes. In today's Before the Bell, we break down the growing disconnect between Technology and the rest of the market, why diversified portfolios are lagging benchmarks, and how hedge fund positioning in Semiconductors is fueling the momentum chase. We also discuss why this narrow leadership can continue longer than expected, what warning signals to watch for, and how investors should think about risk management heading deeper into summer and the mid-term election cycle. Watch for key support levels, momentum shifts, and changes in market leadership before making aggressive portfolio moves.

I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing our bullish mid-year outlook and why stocks have been under pressure more recently. It's Tuesday, May 19th at 1:30 pm in New York. So, let's get after it. Every cycle has a moment when investors become so focused on the last risk that they miss the next opportunity. I think we're in one of those moments right now. The first half of this year has had a familiar feel to it. The market weakened under the surface well before the headlines got loud, investors discovered the new risks after prices had already moved, and sentiment got worse just as the forward setup was getting better. In other words, it's déjà vu all over again – but with some important twists. The biggest twist is where we are in the cycle. Last year, we were still coming out of the tail end of a rolling recession. Today, we're in a rolling recovery and that is still underappreciated. This matters, because it changes how we should interpret the correction earlier this year and a powerful rally. In the first quarter, many investors looked at the S&P 500's less-than-10 percent price decline and concluded the market was complacent. I think that really misses the point. Roughly half of the Russell 3000 saw drawdowns of 20 percent or more, and the S&P 500 forward Price Earnings multiple fell by 18 percent from its peak as forward earnings continued to rise. That is not complacency. That is a market doing what it does best – discounting risk before the narrative catches up. And those risks were not small. We had private credit concerns, and a major debate around AI disruption to labor markets as well as a new war that drove oil prices up by 100 percent. In many of the areas most directly exposed to these risks, the market delivered 40 percent-plus corrections. So the provocative question I would ask now is this: what if the biggest risk from here is not being too bullish, but being too cautious after the market has already done the work? We address these questions in our recently published mid-year outlook. Specifically, we raised our 12 month S&P 500 price target to 8,300 based solely on higher earnings forecasts. In fact, we assume some further valuation compression. We raised our S&P 500 EPS by approximately 5 percent as operating leverage from the rolling recovery, AI adoption, fiscal support and a capex cycle that continues to broaden. That earnings point is critical. In prior cycles when oil shocks ended the business cycle, earnings were already decelerating or contracting outright before the shock hit. Today, the opposite is happening. Earnings are accelerating from already strong levels. First-quarter median S&P 500 earnings surprise was 6 percent, the strongest in four years; and earnings revisions breadth has moved back up to 22 percent from just 5 percent at the start of reporting season. That is a very different backdrop than the traditional late-cycle oil shock playbook. AI is another area where I think the consensus has evolved. The labor market disruption narrative has moved faster than the actual implementation. The enterprise application layer is still early, and for now, AI looks more like a margin tailwind than a labor-market wrecking ball. Companies are running leaner, hiring less, and beginning to quantify real benefits rather than simply firing everyone. While true adoption of this technology is likely to be slower than anticipated, the apprehension to over-hire is real and that is driving higher profitability in an indirect way. Monetary policy and liquidity are still the main risks to this bull market rising unimpeded. With the Fed becoming less dovish and liquidity needs rising, interest rates are on the rise and the equity-rate correlation is negative again. The 4.5 percent level on the 10-year Treasury remains important for valuations. We don't need Fed cuts for the equity market to work. History suggests that when earnings growth is strong and the Fed is on hold, returns can still be very solid. The real risk is liquidity – whether the Fed and Treasury underestimates how much capital the private economy now needs to fund investment and recovery.Ultimately, the Fed and Treasury have tools to address these liquidity needs and they have been using them aggressively this year. However, these provisions can ebb and flow and we are currently in a window where it's going to ebb, leaving stocks vulnerable in the short term. If the correction persists, investors should use that as an opportunity to add exposure to the parts of the market that benefit from a rolling recovery, specifically Industrials, Financials, Consumer Discretionary Goods. The breadth of the earnings and capex cycle remains under-appreciated, not to mention the recovery from the rolling recession that ended with Liberation Day a year ago. The bottom line is simple. The correction earlier this year was more significant than most appreciate in terms of valuation and the earnings story is only getting better. The path won't be smooth, so use any corrections to position for the continued broadening in earnings that we believe will continue.Just remember, by the time the evidence feels obvious, the opportunity is usually gone.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explains the factors behind stock gains across sectors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing why earnings remain the most important variable for equity markets.It's Monday, May 4th at 2pm in New York. So, let's get after it.The more I think about what's been driving this market, and the more time I spend with the data, the more I keep coming back to the same conclusion: it's earnings. Not the headlines, not even the Fed. Earnings are doing the heavy lifting right now.When I look at this reporting season, what stands out isn't just resilience, it's strength that's broader than most people appreciate. The typical company in the S&P 500 is growing earnings at about 16 percent, and the median earnings surprise is running around 6 percent. That's the strongest we've seen in four years.What's really interesting to me is that this strength is no longer confined to just the biggest tech names. Yes, hyper scalers and semiconductors are still playing a leading role, but the story is expanding. We're seeing earnings revisions move higher across Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Cyclicals, in particular. That kind of breadth tells me this isn't just a narrow leadership story; it's something more sustainable.At the same time, many investors are focused on the geopolitical backdrop, particularly the Iran conflict and what it means for oil, inflation, and supply chains. To be fair, companies are feeling some of that pressure. When you listen to earnings calls, you hear about rising freight costs, tighter supply chains, and higher input prices across industries like chemicals and machinery.But here's the nuance: those impacts are uneven. They're not hitting the entire market in the same way. In fact, at the index level, they're being offset. Energy has become a positive contributor to earnings growth, and the higher-end consumer remains relatively strong. Even with higher fuel costs, we're not seeing a meaningful pullback in overall consumption – at least not yet. That tells me that we're not dealing with a classic demand shock. We're dealing with a redistribution of pressure, and companies are adapting. In many cases, they're passing through higher costs. Revenue surprises are running above historical norms, which suggests pricing power is improving.Now, of course, earnings aren't the only piece of the puzzle. Policy still matters, and the shift in rate expectations this year has been meaningful. The Fed has clearly become more concerned about inflation, and the market has repriced expectations to fewer cuts, and maybe even a higher probability of hikes. That repricing is a big reason why valuations corrected so sharply over the past six months.It's notable that even with that headwind, equities have managed to stabilize, thanks to earnings. When earnings are growing at an above-trend pace, equities can deliver solid returns regardless of whether the Fed is cutting or not.That said, I do think that there's one area of risk that deserves further attention, and that's liquidity. We've seen periods of funding stress over the past six months, and those moments have coincided with pressure on valuations. The Fed and the Treasury have stepped in at times to stabilize these conditions, helping to reduce bond volatility and support equity multiples.Bottom line, we have already had a meaningful correction in valuations this year with price earnings multiples falling 18 percent from their peak last fall. That adjustment occurred as the market digested the many risks that we have been highlighting. Meanwhile, earnings are not only holding up, they're accelerating and broadening across sectors. The risks that we've all all focused on – geopolitics, oil, supply chains – are real. But they're being absorbed at the company level. As a result, the price declines were much more modest than the compression in valuations. Meanwhile, monetary policy is providing some headwinds, but it's not overwhelming the earnings story. Equity markets move on two things: earnings and liquidity. Right now, earnings are more than offsetting the lingering liquidity concerns. In short, earnings growth is greater than the valuation reset. This is classic bull market behavior and as long as that continues, I think the U.S. equity market will grind higher for the rest of the year with intermittent bouts of volatility.
