"While headline U.S. equity indices posted strong gains in 2025, underlying market dispersion and historically tight credit spreads signal caution. Major upcoming fiscal tax cuts are double-edged, risking persistent inflation amid high monetary policy uncertainty."
Boyar Value Group reviews a highly volatile 2025, which saw the S&P 500 drop 21% due to tariff fears before rapidly rebounding to close the year up 18%. While index performance was strong, it was highly concentrated, with the 25 largest stocks up 27% while the 25 smallest fell 13%. Speculation rose alongside margin debt and SPAC IPOs, while international equities began to outperform U.S. stocks. Looking to 2026, major fiscal tailwinds are introduced via the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' and permanent bonus depreciation, which could boost consumption and capex but also fuel persistent inflation. Given highly tight corporate credit spreads and deep divisions within the Federal Reserve over interest rate policy, the firm advises caution, focusing heavily on balance-sheet health and fundamental value.
