February Market & Economic Update – Broadening Beyond the Magnificent Seven?

As we step into a new month, it’s time to take a 30,000-foot view of the market and economic trends shaping the landscape. In our latest Market & Economic Update with Jim Kruzan, CFP®, CRPC®, we’re analyzing the latest data from February—because the data tells the real story.

For some time now, we’ve expected that the market would either weaken until a significant drop occurs or show signs of meaningful improvement—neither of which has fully happened just yet. However, we are noticing a broadening out of market performance beyond the so-called “Magnificent Seven” stocks—the handful of mega-cap stocks that have led the market in recent years.

Key Takeaways from This Month’s Review:
  • Market Breadth is Improving – While the Magnificent Seven still dominate, we’re seeing other sectors beginning to contribute to market performance.
  • Economic Uncertainty Persists – Some indicators signal resilience, while others suggest potential weakness ahead.

We’ll continue monitoring these trends closely, following the data, and providing insights on our quarterly Capital Market Review at the end of next month.

Watch the full discussion for a deeper dive into what’s happening and what could be next.
