Phillips, CFA, CAIA, CFP® tells Reuters stocks are due for a pullback: “We’re trying to remind our clients that the gains we’ve seen since late October, more than 20% for the S&P 500 and really the same thing for the equal-weighted index, if you just neutralize the impact of technology stocks, it’s really represented more than a year’s worth of gains.

Big Tech’s Earnings Season Set to Shake Global Markets – Will ASX Feel the Ripples? As the latest earnings season kicks off for U.S. tech giants, all eyes are on the 'Magnificent 5,' a powerful group of tech stocks that now make up over 20% of the S&P 500. Much like past market-defining groups — from the ‘Nifty Fifty’ in the 60s to the dot-com boom of the late 90s — these tech titans have delivered massive returns, carrying the weight of the market with them. With such concentrated influence, shifts in these stocks could reverberate across the S&P 500, potentially impacting ASX shares. Aussie investors take note: this earnings season could bring waves through both U.S. and Aussie markets.

Classic Market Rotation 🔁 Since July 9th, when the S&P 500 and Nasdaq peaked, the market has been rotating out of mega-cap tech stocks and into the more beaten down areas of the market, such as small-cap stocks. Will this trend continue? Who knows 🤷♂️ But it's a classic market rotation and not at all surprising. Market trends and outperformance from a particular sector or group of stocks won't last forever. Is the party 🎉 over for mega-cap tech? I doubt it very seriously. Those companies aren't going anywhere. But markets are cyclical and every area has its chance to shine eventually. #marketrotation #sectorrotation #tech #techstocks #bigtech #smallcap

Valuations have increased over the past year, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones Industrial Average experiencing significant gains. Higher valuations are not a reason to avoid stocks but serve as a reminder to focus on diversifying within the stock market and across asset classes. Diversification is crucial for long-term investors. The rally in mega cap technology stocks highlights the importance of being diversified across various sectors. Diversified investors benefit from the returns of the technology sector while protecting their portfolios from downside risk and positioning themselves to take advantage of growth in other parts of the market. Historically, large companies have not always dominated stock market returns, and a broader base of companies can naturally diversify portfolios and create more predictable long-term returns.

Consider the chart below and imagine reviewing it five years from now. Wouldn't it appear evident that this was an opportune moment to diversify your portfolio and reduce the concentration of megacap technology stocks, especially given their valuations at the time? We firmly believe that defensive stocks and cyclicals are undervalued in the current stock market, and their economic contributions are significantly underrepresented. This scenario presents a compelling case for seeking out undervalued companies with strong earnings potential that lie beyond the well-trodden paths. #equities #longterminvesting #valueinvesting
