Analyst: Non-recession expectations boost investors' confidence in corporate profits.

CMC Markets Chief Market Analyst Jochen Stanzl stated that investors are optimistic about corporate profit growth, as the US economy is not expected to enter a recession. While corporate executives continue to emphasize growth risks, they are also presenting shareholders with robust balance sheets. Apart from industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and energy that have been hardest hit by tariffs, companies in other sectors are successfully navigating trade policy challenges.
