Emerging-market equities are presented as an opportunity: upward earnings revisions and cheaper valuations, led by Asia and Latin America, are seen as letting them outperform US stocks. Researchers at 31 of 38 houses hold this view, with 7 against and none mixed, and houses covering it rose by 6 over the past 30 days. The main counter-argument is that narrow leadership from a handful of AI-related stocks, shown by a rout in South Korea, leaves these markets fragile, and a minority also flags Indonesia's market reclassification and weak foreign flows.
