Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has plunged & oil prices have surged. However, in contrast to oil price spikes of previous decades, the US is now a net exporter of oil. This implies that what domestic consumers lose from higher oil prices, domestic oil producers will gain.

Profit growth should remain solid in 2026 as companies benefit from strong productivity gains, subdued wage increases & recent tax cuts. Earnings of large US companies rose over 12% in 2025, led by tech stocks again, & are expected to rise 13.2% in Q1 2026.

Nothing great lasts forever. Not one of the top 10 S&P 500 companies since 1985 is still in the top 10 today. Only GE & Exxon lasted 30 years in the top 10. By 2025, only Microsoft had spent 20 years in the top 10 & just 4 of the top 10 had been there for 10 years or more.

Affordability isn't just a political buzzword. The strength of an economy is rooted in affordability, in households being able to meet their expenses & have a little left over for savings. Here's how we look at affordability & what economic data tells us: https://t.co/FBj2LF7LS2

Strong stock market returns may have led to portfolio drift & a higher risk portfolio. Consider that a portfolio of 60% stocks & 40% bonds at the start of 2019 would have grown to over 70% in stocks & just 25% in bonds by Sept. 30, 2025, assuming dividends were reinvested.

Today's innovative, asset-light companies & industries are not the same businesses, & investors are rightly treating them that way. Net profit margins have expanded through the last 3.5 decades. Technology companies now make up about 45% of publicly traded U.S. companies.

[One Capital Management @ONECapitalLLC]

Much of the US economy is driven by innovative, asset-light companies w generally stronger balance sheets. Non-financial companies now use less leverage (left chart) & about 45% of the S&P 500 is now tech companies w higher margins & larger moats (right chart).

While valuations (chart at upper right) are higher than the long-term average, especially in the technology & communication services sectors, their higher earnings growth rates are driving near record profitability (left hand chart).

The effective YTD tariff rate is 6.2%, which is 4% above the 2.3% average of the last 45 years, but lower than you might assume, given the estimates in April 2025. Tariffs on goods have been rising, rather than on services, which currently account for most of overall inflation.

The elephant (& the donkey) in the room won’t be ignored. We’ll address the U.S. government shutdown. But first, let’s take a trip back to January 1984 when tensions between the U.S. & the Soviet Union were running high. https://t.co/g4Xmg8AYE6

We expect inflation to rise over the next year due to tariffs & fiscal stimulus but fall later in 2026. Tariffs are starting to impact inflation, w/ YoY CPI inflation rising to 2.9% in August. We believe this will increase as retailers apply mark ups to new inventories.

Earnings have continued to be strong, driving markets upward, while revenue has been steady. Net profit margins remain healthy at 12.8%.

Labor markets are currently an under-the-radar but crucial piece of the global economy, especially when it comes to the U.S. & Canada. Labor markets can be understood by thinking about...the bathtub. Find out more in the Summer folio: https://t.co/VvbVrldNDZ

The universe of #midcap & #smallcap companies is fraught with unprofitability.

[One Capital Management @ONECapitalLLC]

AI enthusiasm significantly drove US large-cap stocks over the last 2 years as the #Magnificent7 stocks generated outstanding returns & earnings growth. Without the #Mag7, the remaining stocks had almost zero earnings growth, but the wealth is likely to expand.

[One Capital Management @ONECapitalLLC]

The makeup of large companies and small companies is quite different from a sector lens. Technology & telecom dominate the large-cap space, while financials, industrials, & health care drive the universe of small companies.
