On July 17, Lori Calvasina, RBC Capital Markets head of US equity strategy, joined ‘Closing Bell’ on CNBC to discuss whether the market is fully valued at present levels. Calvasina explained that whenever the topic of the Fed’s independence and external pressure arises, she consults her rate strategist. He consistently reiterates that the Fed operates as a committee and not a single decision-maker to emphasize its collective nature. However, she also highlighted that international investors are wary of such chatter. While they may not be the largest owners of US equities, they are significant, and fund flow data shows that these international investors have been actively moving in recent years and entered H2 2025 feeling skittish. Calvasina noted that these investors have expressed concern recently about valuation levels in the US market, which is a sentiment she does not typically hear from US-based stock pickers. Calvasina observed that the market, having experienced a strong rally, is currently pricing in a lot of positive news, is eager to move past tariff concerns, and is focused on a projected strong year in 2026.

When asked if the market is fully valued, Calvasina stated that it depends on the model being used. Based on her own valuation and earnings analysis, the market has blown past fully valued when considering 2025 projections. In a conversation regarding which sector appears most mispriced heading into earnings, Calvasina revealed that RBC Capital Markets had recently upgraded materials about a week and a half prior. She explained that while materials were not super cheap, they compare favorably to the industrial sector, which is highly favored due to reshoring narratives but is trading at extremely high valuations. While acknowledging the strong fundamentals in industrials, she argued that the materials sector should benefit from many of the same drivers but offers very reasonable valuations and is experiencing a shift from negative to positive earnings revisions.
