Quick Take

"Peak Asset Management navigates elevated market valuations and sector concentration through disciplined risk management. Fed rate cuts and continued earnings growth support markets while firm searches underperforming stocks for future opportunities."

Executive Summary

Peak Asset Management's Q3 2025 letter addresses the paradox of widespread bubble fears in a market that delivered strong returns. The S&P 500 gained 14.83% year-to-date through Q3, including a powerful 35% rally from April lows following tariff reprieve. Manager John McCorvie notes that valuation multiples are at all-time highs with the S&P 500 trading at 22.5x forward earnings, creating long-term return headwinds and earnings collapse risk. The Fed cut rates by 0.25% in September, their first cut since December, as they balance multiple economic factors. Market concentration has increased significantly, with Technology and Communication Services sectors representing 45% of market cap and 37% of earnings. McCorvie embraces contrarian psychology, finding comfort in widespread bubble fears as evidence the market may not actually be in a bubble. The firm continues focusing on risk management through diversification and seeks opportunities among underperforming stocks for future growth.
