Highlights from our latest issue:
The rise in the US long-term Treasury bond yield has compressed the S&P 500 forward implied equity risk premium, increasing the sensitivity of stock valuation to bond yields.
S&P 500 EPS growth remains rapid, driven in part by leads and lags surrounding the AI-driven CAPEX boom.
A rising weighted average cost of capital and falling return on invested capital imply a de-rating of hyperscaler P/E multiples.
The S&P 500 index is climbing the ‘wall of worry’ in part due to ongoing easy access to credit on favourable terms.
The FTSE100 and DAX40 have come under pressure despite improving earnings.
