Stock Moe“Until the Fed rate is restrictive, the markets will go higher in my opinion.”
Thesis at the time
BullishStock Moe argues the rally has broadened beyond the 'Magnificent Seven' into small caps and other sectors, supported by strong earnings growth, and believes stocks will keep climbing as long as the Fed funds rate stays below inflation (i.e., not restrictive). He also flags real risks — stretched valuations, debt-funded AI capex, and potential Fed rate hikes — that could reverse the trend.
Key arguments
- Rally now has breadth, with small caps and the Russell hitting records alongside the S&P, not just a handful of mega-cap names
- Consensus 2026 EPS growth of about 12.5%, marking a seventh straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth
- The Fed funds rate (3.5%-3.75%) is below current inflation, meaning policy isn't restrictive, which he says fuels further market gains
- Big tech hyperscalers (Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta) are ramping combined 2026 capex to $725 billion, signaling continued growth investment
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Forward P/E near 22x and Shiller CAPE are in historically stretched territory
- Big tech is now borrowing to fund AI capex instead of using cash flow, creating debt-servicing risk
- Persistent energy/inflation pressure from Iran conflict could keep inflation elevated
- Market concentration in a few mega-cap earners means a single earnings miss could hit the whole index
- The Fed could still raise rates at the next meeting, which would likely hurt markets

Confidence Reasoning
Uses certainty language ('will') but hedges with 'in my opinion' and ties the call to an ongoing condition (Fed rate staying non-restrictive), giving a moderate but not high confidence rating.
