Summary
Friday, Abby Joseph Cohen said elevated stock prices may be masking risks investors are overlooking, making current valuations a source of concern rather than comfort.
“Priced to perfection” markets leave little room for disappointment, she said, arguing that valuations now imply an overly favorable outlook.
The labor market was the area she flagged most directly, suggesting employment conditions could become a key fault line if optimism embedded in share prices proves excessive.
Her warning points to a broader market vulnerability: when valuations already assume strong conditions, even modest economic weakening can unsettle investors.
