Q4 2026 Market Themes to Watch

Electrification of Everything (EOE)

Electrification is moving from a secular theme to a portfolio-building challenge. Over the next 25-30 years, transportation, supply chains, and power systems are likely to become increasingly electricity-intensive, putting pressure on generation, transmission, and critical-resource availability. The portfolio implication is straightforward: Investors concentrated in the companies creating incremental power demand may also want exposure to the infrastructure, energy and resources required to meet it.
