However, predicting the next year can be a fun exercise. Below are my five predictions for 2025:\nPrediction #1: Small Caps Will Outperform\nRecently, large-cap technology companies have been the most dominant stocks on Wall Street from an earnings and performance perspective. For example, the mega-cap tech-laden Nasdaq 100 Index ETF has ballooned ~155% over the past five years, while the small cap Russell 2000 Index ETF is up only 47%. Below are two reasons I believe small caps will outperform large caps in 2025.\n1. Trump Tariffs: President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to levy tariffs on several countries when he returns to Pennsylvania Avenue, including China, Mexico, France, and others. Tariffs will make foreign products more expensive for consumers and will lead to a shift in supply chains left by foreign suppliers.\n2. Long-Term Technical Breakout: An old Wall Street adage suggests, “The longer the base, the higher in space.” IWM is currently emerging from a three-year base structure and may look to play catch-up.\nPrediction #2: A 10% Pullback in the First Half of the Year\nEventually, even in the most robust bull markets, stocks encounter profit-taking and must at least digest gains before moving higher. Though stocks will likely benefit from year-end “window dressing” and a “Santa Claus” rally to close 2024, they are due for a pullback.\nThe S&P 500 Index is up six of the past seven months, and the one month it was down, it was only lower by less than a percent. Furthermore, regardless of the market environment, the average year sees at least one correction of 10% or more.\nPrediction #3: M&A Will Increase Dramatically\nLina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), has been one of the most prominent hawks regarding mergers and acquisitions. During her tenure she has tried to block several deals, including the Microsoft takeover of Activision Blizzard (her challenge was unsuccessful. Though the MSFT challenge was unsuccessful, Kahn successfully blocked a merger between grocery juggernaut Kroger and Albertsons.\nAfter President-elect Trump recently named Andrew Ferguson his pick for the new FTC chair, expect the M&A environment to do a 180. The incoming administration will likely be far laxer regarding M&A between mid and small-cap companies. However, the real question will be, “How will the administration handle current antitrust cases against Amazonand Alphabet?” While Republicans mostly believe in free markets, many believe big tech’s power has gone too far.\nPrediction #4: Bull Market Runs as S&P Gains More Than 10%\nOn Wall Street, momentum begets momentum. Though the S&P 500 Index has been up more than 20% for two years running, the average bull market lasts approximately four years. Meanwhile, historical seasonality trends suggest that stocks rally following the presidential election.\nPrediction #5: The IPO Market Will Explode\nAfter a decline in 2023, the IPO market staged a comeback in 2024. With a dovish Fed, bull market trend, and new political environment, I expect a plethora of IPOs – particularly in the quantum computing and AI realm. While each of these industries is red hot, there are only a few pure plays in each.\nWhy Haven't You Looked at Zacks' Top Stocks?\nSince 2000, our top stock-picking strategies have blown away the S&P's +7.0 average gain per year.
