Despite concerns over rising yields, the S&P 500 remains close to record highs, supported by optimism around economic growth and AI commercialization, which have bolstered equity resilience. The outlook for stocks remains positive, with expectations for the S&P 500 to reach 6,600 by the end of 2025.

Japanese game developers face a challenging landscape marked by rising development costs, a shrinking mobile game market, and increased competition from foreign developers.

Chinese OEMs are rapidly localizing semiconductor content, with domestic sales share increasing from 46% in 2022 to 60% in Q4'23. However, the impact on global incumbent semiconductor suppliers is likely overestimated, with manageable growth expected despite a projected 2-5% annual revenue impact over the next 5-10 years. Incumbents remain confident in their market position, focusing on higher-end products and joint ventures in China.
Cash and carry (C&C) has emerged as Brazil's fastest-growing grocery format, accounting for 29% of the country's food retail sales in 2022. With 1,200 C&C units mapped across 20 chains, concerns about market saturation are rising, particularly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The segment is expanding into denser, higher-income areas, increasing competition and cannibalization risks among retailers.
Online retail sales in the U.S. are projected to reach 26% by 2027, up from 23% in 2023, reflecting a 6.9% compound annual growth rate. Despite this growth, in-person shopping remains valued, leading to modest digital adoption rates and potential store closures as brick-and-mortar sales grow slowly. UBS Evidence Lab's extensive survey data supports these insights, indicating a structural shift towards eCommerce while maintaining the relevance of physical stores.
