"HORAN Wealth maintains a constructive view on US equities, pointing to positive fiscal tax windfalls, Fed interest rate cuts, and robust 2026 earnings expectations as key pillars to support the market despite emerging cracks in the labor market and high valuations."
Executive Summary
HORAN Wealth's Fall 2025 investor letter highlights a resilient US economy and stock market rally off the April lows, bolstered by the passage of the OBBBA, which delivers corporate tax relief, and lower-than-feared tariff rates. The Federal Reserve resumed its rate-cutting cycle in September with a 25-bps cut due to employment concerns. While AI remains a dominant investment theme, the letter cautions that 95% of surveyed organizations report zero ROI on enterprise AI, signaling potential data center overcapacity risks reminiscent of the 2000 tech bubble. Despite rich valuations, projected 2026 earnings growth of 14.0% and historically strong fourth-quarter seasonality provide a supportive background for equities.
