On October 23, Gene Goldman, CIO at Cetera, appeared on CNBC to suggest that the markets are overvalued but not at risk of a bear market. He sees buying opportunities in pullbacks despite the jitteriness in the market right now. Recent corporate earnings reports showed that certain companies beat expectations and raised their guidance, but at the same time, were trading lower in the market, which prompts a question regarding current investor sentiment. Goldman believes that this trend reflects the overall market sentiment and suggested that markets are exhibiting near-term concern. This concern is rooted in several observations: current high valuations, which are seen as pricing in perfection; the forward price-to-earnings ratio on the S&P 500 being 23x, which is close to the 25x seen during the tech bubble; significant market concentration; a possible bubble in AI capital spending, raising questions about excessive spending on data centers; and a slowing down of market breadth. When all these factors are combined, the markets appear to be jittery. Consequently, even when current earnings are beating expectations, investors are focusing on what’s next, which indicates an uncertainty overhanging stocks in the near term.
Despite the near-term risk, Goldman maintained that there are numerous compelling reasons to buy the dip. Primarily, he does not foresee a bear market because, in his view, a recession is required for that, and the economy is currently stronger than the labor market data suggests. Secondly, the impact of tariffs, which are adding up to a $350 billion run rate, is a factor. Thirdly, 2026 is projected to be a year of stimulus, encompassing both fiscal and monetary stimulus. Furthermore, earnings growth for the next year is anticipated to be stunning, with large caps expected to grow by about 13.3% and small caps by 22% year-over-year. Finally, there is a significant amount of cash on the sidelines ready to enter the market at better valuations. Therefore, Goldman concluded that, consistent with his view over the past three years, any pullback presents a buy-the-dip opportunity.
