"US and international equities capped off a strong 2025, but the underlying economy exhibits a fragile, K-shaped divergence. Davidson is actively lengthening duration in municipal bonds to lock in yields above 6% and highlights international equities as attractive relative value opportunities."
Davidson Investment Advisors' Q4 2025 Market Commentary reviews a robust but complex economic landscape. US equity markets closed near record highs despite a disruptive six-week government shutdown that left policymakers flying blind without reliable data. The letter highlights a stark 'K-shaped' economic divergence where high earners fuel resilient consumption, while middle-and-lower income cohorts face headwinds from inflation and tariffs. Within fixed income, the firm anticipates a Federal Reserve leadership transition in 2026, expects high corporate debt issuance to potentially widen tight credit spreads, and actively extends duration in its municipal portfolios to capture attractive yields. Internationally, equities posted their strongest relative outperformance against US markets since 1993, supported by a depreciating US dollar and compelling relative valuations.
