The stock market remains near record highs despite looming tariff threats. Analysts suggest this may be due to bets on the tariffs being short-lived or less impactful than feared. However, the full impact of tariffs on earnings is difficult to estimate, and analysts from Goldman Sachs, BofA, and JPMorgan estimate potential impacts ranging from 2-8% on earnings per share for the S&P 500. Despite the uncertainty, earnings continue to perform well, with strong growth in Q4 2025. Analysts expect this growth to continue, potentially offsetting any downside impact from tariffs. However, if tariffs hurt earnings as anticipated, market prices may need to adjust. The labor market remains strong, with low unemployment and wage growth, although there are signs of cooling. Consumer sentiment has declined recently, but spending data remains resilient. Business investment and surveys indicate economic strength, while construction spending and mortgage rates trend higher. The long-term outlook for the stock market is still positive, bolstered by earnings growth. However, the unknown impact of tariffs and other potential risks indicate that investors should remain vigilant and prepared for market fluctuations.
