On January 6, Dan Greenhaus of Solus Alternative Asset Management, Cameron Dawson of NewEdge Wealth, and Sonali Basak of iCapital appeared on CNBC’s ‘Closing Bell’ to discuss what investors should be watching. Talking about a fourth consecutive strong year, Greenhaus expressed a positive outlook and cited several macro tailwinds: strong earnings growth, the intact AI story, and a Fed that is becoming accommodative rather than restrictive. He specifically mentioned the continuation of reserve purchases as a driver for the market’s immediate future.
The market ended the previous year with a whimper instead of reaching the 7,000 level that Greenhaus had anticipated. Greenhaus explained that an AI rotation story hampered some large-cap names, creating downward pressure. While banks and healthcare picked up some of the slack, he believes that the math of that rotation held the market back more than expected. Despite this, he reiterated that the underlying tailwinds matter more than the specific closing figures of the year-end rally.
Basak offered a more measured perspective and predicted mid-to-high single-digit returns. While the backdrop is positive, she expects a choppy year. She attributed the weakness at the end of last year to selectivity in the AI theme and rate sensitivity, and noted that the 10-year yield is up a quarter of a percentage point from its October lows. Basak warned of upside risk to longer-term yields regardless of potential rate cuts.
Dawson concluded the segment by discussing her fair value range of 7,200 to 7,400. She suggested that a lower-return year implied that valuations would stay flat, leaving earnings growth as the primary driver for gains; a repeat of the 2025 trend, where the market started and ended at 22x earnings. However, she highlighted a high bar for 2026: unlike 2025, where estimates were being cut, analysts have been raising estimates for the last 6 months. With earnings currently sitting at $310 a share and a projected 15% growth rate, she cautioned that there is little room for volatility or multiple expansion.

In Q3 2025, Gambling.com Group Limited (NASDAQ:GAMB) highlighted a 21% year-over-year revenue increase to $39 million. This growth was fueled by the company’s sports data services, which saw revenue quadruple to $9.2 million.

Despite the top-line success, the group faced significant headwinds in its marketing division, which remained flat year-over-year due to unfavorable search ranking dynamics and poor organic search quality. Consequently, the company revised its full-year 2025 guidance downward to ~$165 million in revenue.
