Insights From Analysts

Based on the LPL Research outlook, the economic and market landscape for 2026 appears resilient, with the firm explicitly stating they do “not expect recession in 2026, providing a supportive backdrop for equities.”

This optimism is driven by expectations that “double-digit earnings growth is poised to continue,” bolstered by massive capital spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

Additionally, the economy may benefit from “supportive monetary policy” as the Federal Reserve normalizes rates, alongside fiscal stimulus from the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)”.

However, the path forward is not without risks. The report cautions that “midterm years have historically been volatile,” with political shifts potentially causing market drawdowns.

Furthermore, “geopolitical developments will be a defining force,” acting as a wildcard that could reshape supply chains and drive commodity fluctuations.

Despite these uncertainties, LPL advises investors to maintain perspective, reminding them that “volatility is a normal part of the stock market, even in good years,” and that staying focused on key drivers will be essential to navigating the year ahead.
