In this article, we will discuss the 11 Worst Performing Stocks to Invest in on the Dip.

Goldman Sachs expects the global equities to post strong long-term returns despite higher valuations. The firm’s forecast of 7.7% per annum (in USD terms) over the upcoming decade remains close to the historical median, thanks to structural drivers such as nominal growth, profitability, and shareholder distributions.

What Should Investors Focus On?

According to Goldman Sachs, earnings growth is a primary driver of performance. The firm expects global earnings, which include buybacks, to compound at ~6% annually. Furthermore, dividends offer the rest of the return, while anticipating valuations to ease modestly from the present elevated levels.

Morningstar, while quoting Morgan Stanley’s chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson, highlighted that earnings growth and an accommodative Fed are expected to support market multiples. Wilson and team raised their 12-month target (by 2026 end) for the S&P 500 to 7,800. According to them, economic conditions in the next year are expected to benefit from growth-positive factors, such as tax cuts and deregulation.

Amidst such favourable trends, we will now have a look at the 11 Worst Performing Stocks to Invest in on the Dip.
