Goldman Sachs: By 2026, American households will become the "strongest buyers" in the U.S. stock market, with net purchases potentially reaching $520 billion

Goldman Sachs predicts that by 2026, American households will become the largest buyers of U.S. stocks, with net purchases expected to reach $520 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19%. Driven by economic growth, a decline in unemployment, and easing inflation, net purchases of corporate stocks are expected to be $410 billion. Although the overall holding size is limited, signs of localized bubbles are still emerging. The buying scale of foreign investors is expected to shrink to $250 billion, while mutual funds and pension funds will be the main sellers
