JONGHO SHIN/iStock via Getty Images U.S. equities continued to trend higher through the 2020s despite a series of global shocks, highlighting the market’s resilience in the face of persistent uncertainty, according to Pepperstone strategist Michael Brown. A chart shared by Brown tracked S&P 500 futures from the pandemic-era lows in 2020 through 2026, showing a steady upward climb even as markets navigated repeated disruptions. The initial COVID-19 shock triggered a sharp and rapid selloff, with equities plunging before rebounding just as quickly on unprecedented fiscal and monetary support. That recovery set the tone for how markets would respond to subsequent crises. Supply chain disruptions, including the Ever Given blockage of the Suez Canal and the global semiconductor shortage, caused shorter-lived pullbacks. In both cases, equities dipped briefly but resumed their upward trajectory as supply conditions gradually normalized. Geopolitical tensions introduced more sustained volatility. The Russia-Ukraine war led to a deeper drawdown as energy and commodity prices surged, while OPEC+ output cuts added to inflation concerns. Even so, markets stabilized and recovered as investors adjusted to the new macro environment. More recently, renewed tensions in the Middle East, including risks tied to Iran, prompted another bout of weakness. However, the pullback proved limited, with equities once again rebounding and pushing toward fresh highs. Across each episode, the pattern remained consistent: sharp or moderate declines followed by recoveries that ultimately drove the index higher over time. Brown described the period as “six years of supply shocks” alongside “six years of stocks muddling through and climbing the wall of worry,” underscoring how markets repeatedly absorbed negative shocks without derailing the broader bull trend.

FabrikaCr/iStock via Getty Images eToro ( ETOR ) is due to report its Q1 '26 numbers next week, so I thought I 'd go through what to expect and give some comments on what I think would be a good way for the company to continue growing beyond the current user base, but it will depend on the management 's ability to execute. What to Expect Analysts are expecting the company to make $0.67 and $0.70 in GAAP and Adjusted EPS, respectively, on $233.5m in revenues. This translates to around 3% growth sequentially and around 7.5% growth y/y. The company 's revenue numbers are very weird, and that is due to the way it has to record its crypto assets on its income statement, whether it is controlling its users ' crypto assets or acting as an agent. Here, it seems that the company is acting as the principal, so according to IFRS 15, it has to report at the gross level and match that with the cost of sales of the crypto assets. Cost of sales has been higher, so all it does is bring down the company 's net contribution income slightly. Unfortunately, the management is not keen on providing concrete numbers for the upcoming quarter and only mentioned some growth numbers related to the expenses outlook, saying that they expect to see sales and marketing investment scaling from 21% of net contributions to 25% over time. So, it would be quite hard to predict what kind of numbers the company is going to put up. Also, it hasn 't been on the markets for all that long. We can see that over the last four quarters, ETOR beat revenue estimates 100% of the time, while only missing once on the EPS estimates. Seeking Alpha I honestly wouldn 't be surprised to see the company missing on the estimates above. The reason is that Robinhood ( HOOD ) recently reported its Q1 results , where it missed on both the top and bottom lines, and that is mostly because its cryptocurrency revenue was down 47% y/y. Seeing that there is a huge element of crypto on eToro, a reduction in trading activity will hav...
