Goldman Sachs remains optimistic about the stock market despite recent volatility, characterizing the current downturn as a correction rather than the start of a prolonged bear market.
Goldman Sachs maintains its bullish stance on the stock market despite recent investor concerns sparked by the launch of the DeepSeek artificial intelligence app. In a 16-page note titled 'Concentration & Correction — what to do next,' chief global equity strategist Peter Oppenheimer argues that the current market pullback is a correction rather than the onset of a sustained bear market. Oppenheimer acknowledges the dominance of U.S.
equities, particularly the 'Magnificent Seven' stocks, in the global market. However, he attributes this outperformance not to 'irrational exuberance,' but to the superior fundamentals of these companies. The tech sector's influence on the broader market's performance stems from its robust profits compared to other industries during the same period. Despite this, Oppenheimer points out the existence of other attractive investment opportunities within the U.S. market and internationally. He suggests that the current market dynamics indicate a period of market broadening rather than a major rotation out of high-performing assets into lagging ones. As a result, Oppenheimer advises investors to diversify their portfolios. While recommending a long-term stock position, he also suggests hedging some risk by increasing exposure to safe-asset bonds. For U.S. investments, he highlights the S&P MidCap 400 index or the S&P 500 Equal Weight index. He also encourages investors to explore global growth opportunities outside of technology, emphasizing their lower valuations and greater diversification compared to the tech sector.
