Newswire) a go-to platform for big investing ideas, including AI
stocks issues market commentary from deVere Group.
Investors are likely to face a more demanding but opportunity-rich
market in 2026, affirms the CEO of one of the world’s largest
independent financial advisory organizations as they look to the year
ahead to build and safeguard wealth.
Nigel Green of deVere Group says the year ahead rewards discipline,
selectivity, and execution rather than broad momentum.
Markets have adjusted to a world of higher rates, geopolitical
friction, and rapid technological change.
This adjustment, he comments, has created clearer pricing signals and
sharper differentiation between companies that deliver and those that
rely on expectation.
“Opportunity isn’t disappearing, it’s becoming
more precise.”
Nigel Green identifies three global forces that will shape investor
outcomes in 2026: the transition of AI from promise to performance,
the dominance of a narrow group of market leaders, and volatility
driven by policy decisions.
He argues that each creates openings for investors prepared to engage
actively rather than retreat.
AI moves from ambition to accountability
Artificial intelligence remains one of the most powerful drivers of
corporate investment globally. Spending over the past two years has
been substantial, flowing into infrastructure, computing power,
research, and deployment at exceptional speed.
The emphasis now is on results.
“Markets are no longer paying for potential alone,” says
Nigel Green. “They’re paying for delivery and
performance.”
Revenue growth across AI remains uneven and costs remain elevated.
Some companies are already converting investment into cash flow and
margin improvement, while others are still struggling with scale,
pricing, and timing.
The deVere CEO expects 2026 to sharpen this divide.
“Execution separates leaders from laggards,” he notes.
“This creates clearer opportunity for investors who focus on
fundamentals rather than hype.”
He stresses that this phase strengthens, rather than weakens, the
long-term case for AI by placing value on efficiency, discipline, and
realistic expectations.
Market concentration sharpens selection
Global equity performance continues to rely heavily on a relatively
small group of dominant companies. While this concentration increases
sensitivity to earnings and guidance, it also removes ambiguity about
where leadership sits.
“When leadership is narrow, analysis matters more,” says
Nigel Green. “Strength is visible, and weakness is exposed
quickly.”
This dynamic accelerates price discovery. Companies that deliver are
rewarded decisively, while those that disappoint are repriced without
delay. The gap between market leaders and the rest continues to widen.
For investors, this environment favors selective positioning over
broad exposure.
Dispersion creates opportunity,” he adds. “It rewards
those willing to back quality and move away from comfort.”
Policy volatility creates entry points
Policy decisions remain a powerful driver of market movement.
Expectations around interest rates continue to influence risk
appetite, while confidence around timing remains fluid as inflation
trends diverge across regions and economic data sends mixed signals.
Rather than undermining opportunity, Nigel Green says this creates
movement.
“Volatility driven by policy creates entry points. Repricing
is where opportunity emerges.”
Trade policy remains a key influence. Sudden tariff decisions earlier
this year triggered sharp market reactions, underlining how sensitive
sentiment remains to abrupt change. Supply chains continue to adjust,
particularly for companies with international exposure.
Fiscal policy adds another layer. Tax incentives have supported
earnings but raised expectations. Investors are increasingly focused
on the quality and durability of growth rather than results supported
by temporary measures.
Taken together, these forces point to a market that is active,
selective, and responsive rather than fragile.
“I believe in 2026 we’ll see that strong returns
don’t require calm conditions,” the deVere Group CEO
concludes.
“They require judgment, discipline, and the confidence to act
when pricing adjusts.”
