Market Update Video
Welcome to our May 2026 Market Update!
Thanks for tuning in and with our Annual Market Outlook events in May, I’ll keep this quite brief!
I believe the markets wrapped up there short correction with a near-record performance in April. The S&P 500 rose 10.4% in just a month!1
In my opinion, April also gave us more evidence that markets are solid as we saw corporate earnings reports. S&P 500 earnings per share growth for the first quarter is tracking to a nearly unprecedented growth of 26% year over year, led mostly by the technology sector.2
Looking ahead, I feel confident in stocks in specific sectors. Admittedly, the market has had a heck of a rally off the lows and may be due for a pause.
Well in my commitment to keep it brief, I’m going to pause there. I hope we were able to see you at our Market Outlook events and if you have any questions or would like me to fill you in on our great speakers from Blackrock and Sprott Metals, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
See you next month.
