America Powers On: Why US equities are still poised to outperform in 2024
Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, Alison Nathan
Goldman Sachs Investment Strategy Group projects U.S. equities to deliver approximately 6% returns in 2024, driven primarily by earnings growth amid potential valuation contraction despite a 14-year legacy of U.S. preeminence. The firm maintains a strategic overweight on U.S. stocks while issuing tactical recommendations for energy infrastructure and physical uranium, warning that geopolitical escalation in the Middle East poses the primary downside risk to this outlook.

Piloting Through: Why Investors Should Stay the Course
Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, Allison Nathan
Goldman Sachs' Investment Strategy Group, led by Chief Investment Officer Sharmeen Masavaramani, maintains a "stay invested" stance on U.S. equities for 2022, forecasting a 6% to 12% total return despite valuations in the 10th decile. The firm projects robust U.S. economic growth of 3.5% to 4.0% and 12% earnings expansion, suggesting that the current equity risk premium remains attractive relative to fixed income even as the Federal Reserve implements three to four interest rate hikes. While acknowledging volatility risks such as geopolitical shocks and persistent inflation, the group advises slowly adding to equity positions and maintains a strategic overweight to U.S. stocks over international markets based on superior historical earnings performance.
