"Global equities surged in Q3 2025 behind Fed rate cuts and robust AI spending, but historically high valuations and rising tariff risks lead LRIA to adopt a balanced, neutral-to-positive equity stance paired with short-duration fixed income."
Leonard Rickey Investment Advisors (LRIA) reports that global equities surged to record highs in Q3 2025, propelled by the Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut, strong corporate earnings, and massive AI infrastructure capital expenditures. Despite these positive dynamics, the firm notes that the S&P 500 has become highly concentrated, with the top ten stocks accounting for nearly 40% of the index, and expensive, trading at 24x expected earnings. Economic indicators remain mixed: real wage growth and the passage of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' (OBBBA) support consumer and corporate health, but labor markets are softening (unemployment hitting a 4-year high of 4.3% in August) and average US tariff rates have spiked to an estimated 13%. Consequently, LRIA maintains a neutral-to-positive equity stance, carefully balanced with short-duration fixed income heading into Q4.
