Jorin Timmer, global economics director at Fidelity Management and Research, shared his forecast for the stock market in 2025, as his analysis reflects cautious optimism, focusing on potential growth and significant risks. Timmer described 2024 as the “Goldilocks” year for US stock returns, a story from English folklore, and according to the “Insider Monkey” website, the year is characterized by strong earnings growth and rising valuations.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index saw a significant increase, closing the year with a gain of about 28%, reaching an all-time high. This performance was driven by strong earnings from large companies, especially the so-called “Giant Seven” stocks, whose growth has had a significant impact on overall market dynamics. Looking ahead to 2025, Timmer maintained a bullish stance on stocks, but warned that investors should not expect returns that match the amazing gains of the previous two years. He noted that while earnings expectations remain strong, especially for large-cap stocks, valuations are overvalued, currently sitting in the 90th percentile historically. This suggests that further significant expansion in price-to-earnings ratios could lead to a bubble scenario, which he believes is unlikely. He expects continued earnings growth to support stock prices in 2025.
For example, relying too heavily on a few large-cap stocks poses a risk; if these stocks falter, it could drag down the overall market performance despite broader participation from other stocks.
Secondly, while he does not expect a return to the high inflation rates of past decades, he warns that higher inflation could lead to higher interest rates, which could negatively impact the stock market.
