Stock Market Update - Q3 2026

Investment Strategies for Today’s Markets

Markets in 2026 have demonstrated resilience despite persistent economic headwinds. Geopolitical tensions in Ukraine, Russia, and Iran continue to pressure energy prices, while the Federal Reserve maintains its focus on price stability. Yet beneath the headlines, earnings growth remains robust and market breadth has expanded significantly beyond the largest technology companies. 

Amid the noise, understanding what has historically driven returns and how portfolios can be positioned accordingly is more important than ever.

Join us for our quarterly market update, where Nick Johnson, CFA®, CFP®, CEO & CIO of Willis Johnson Wealth, presents an in-depth analysis of where our economy currently stands and offers actionable tactics to consider for your investment strategy. This webinar also addresses the top concerns of our clients, including:

  • The Great Rotation: From Mega-Cap to Main Street:  The "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks are now underperforming year-to-date, while small caps and international markets lead gains. What's driving this shift, and is it sustainable? 

  • The AI Spending Boom & Corporate Debt: Major tech companies are issuing record amounts of debt to fund massive data center buildouts. How does this capital intensity reshape earnings and financial markets?

  • Earnings Growth Without Valuation Expansion: Despite strong S&P gains year-to-date, price-to-earnings multiples have actually declined, a healthier market dynamic driven by robust earnings growth. What does this mean for future returns?

  •  Inflation's Mixed Signals: While energy prices and tariffs continue to pressure inflation, positive signs emerge: home prices are stabilizing, wage growth is outpacing inflation, and unemployment remains low. What's the real inflation outlook? 

  •  Separating Signal from Noise: Amid headlines about geopolitical risks, tech bubbles, and fiscal crises, what actually matters for your investments? How do you position your portfolio when warning signals and positive data coexist?
