A year ago, I made five predictions for the stock market in 2025 . Some came true (at least partially), while others didn't.
For example, I predicted agentic AI would be a big thing, and that Google parent Alphabet 's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) stock would soar. Both happened.
On the other hand, I thought that stubbornly high inflation would cause angst for investors, benefiting Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) . Inflation remained high, but investors largely shrugged it off. And Costco's share price fell in 2025. I'm clearly no Nostradamus.
