Global X's own midyear outlook is positive, highlighting strong U.S. earnings growth and AI-driven opportunities, which could boost investor sentiment and assets under management.
Global X Management Company released its midyear investment outlook, expressing broad optimism for the U.S. economy and select emerging markets through the remainder of 2026. The firm noted that S&P 500 earnings per share have been revised upward by 8%, accounting for the bulk of year-to-date returns, with profit margins on pace to expand for the fourth straight year, helped by first-quarter earnings growth of nearly 30% year-over-year. Global X expects AI-driven automation to fuel greater efficiency and improved profit margins in small- and mid-cap companies after years of stagnant margins. In emerging markets, the firm sees notable exposure to the AI ecosystem through semiconductors, power, and electrification, and believes commodities could set the stage for another strong cycle, while also highlighting potential valuation improvement in Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina, and noting that Greece now carries investment grade ratings from all three major credit rating agencies.
