Waldron says S&P multiples are 21-22x, higher for tech-centered part, but earnings growth is strong (28% Q1). He sees valuations as 'not totally out of bounds' and the market as 'reasonably rational' about earnings growth, implying a cautiously positive view on tech-heavy indices.
rut
Waldron mentions a risk of crowding out for companies not in the AI slipstream, but expects the deployment phase to level things out. This suggests a cautiously positive view for the broader market (RUT) as AI benefits filter through the economy.
yields
Waldron expects more nominal growth and probably more inflation for some time, which would typically push yields higher.
