Some of the most common reasons pundits believe that U.S large-cap stocks are doing so poorly in 2026 are:
a. Fear of an overvaluation in AI-related stocks.
b. Overvaluation of U.S. large-cap in general from 2025.
c. Fear of an economic slowdown.
d. U.S tariffs 7 trade policies.
e. Geopolitical uncertainty.
I believe a and b are largely responsibility, but does anyone have any other reasons, e.g. earnings slow down, weak forward guidance by many companies?
