OP Pohjola forecasts continued equity market growth for 2027

OP Pohjola anticipates that the positive trend in equity markets will persist through 2027, driven by global economic expansion, robust corporate earnings, and continued capital expenditure in artificial intelligence.

Asset management experts at the firm forecast global GDP growth of approximately 3% for 2027. The "Investment Plan 2027" report highlights the United States and China as key drivers of this growth, while noting that the European economy is expected to gain structural momentum as the year progresses.

While the outlook remains positive, analysts at the firm acknowledge that external variables and inherent market risks persist. The current strategy favors emerging equity markets as central components for investor portfolios in the upcoming year.
