Retail investors are 'optimistic,' but 'realistic' going into 2025

Retail investors are feeling bullish about the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) in 2025, eToro's fourth quarter Retail Investor Beat shows. eToro investment analyst Bret Kenwell joins Josh Lipton and Seana Smith on Market Domination to discuss how retail investors are thinking about the market headed into the new year. Kenwell says retail investors are "optimistic" but "realistic" for the new year. "They're looking to gain more exposure to crypto in 2025. They're looking to gain more exposure to equities in 2025. But they're also looking to raise some cash here," he says, later adding: "I think they're being prudent, but also, you know, keeping one foot in at least is so they keep getting taking advantage of, you know, more gains to come in 2025 if that is the case." The analyst reports that the survey found retail investors to prefer the financials sector and big-cap tech, including Magnificent Seven names and other artificial intelligence (AI) plays.

All 11 sectors expected to broaden out in 2025, strategist says

United Parcel Service (UPS) is just one of Powers Advisory Group Managing Partner Matt Powers' top picks for 2025, calling the postal carrier and logistics operator as having "defensive characteristics and high valuations" as it looks to get carried by several tailwinds next year. UPS is set to release fourth quarter earnings results on January 30, 2025. Powers sits down with Wealth host Brad Smith to talk about the other opportunities he is seeing across markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) in the new year. "Broadening it looks like so all 11 major sectors are actually expected to have year over year earnings increases in 2025. And I think we had or will have seven of the 11 this year, which suggests broadening out," Powers tells Yahoo Finance. "But the S&P [500] is trading at 21 times forward earnings, while dividend growth equities which is kind of our core focus are at 19 times. So we see again going back to that back-to-basics approach shifting towards value and just underappreciated areas of the market."
