Analysts have raised profit expectations for the sector through 2026. Meanwhile, some investors challenge conventional advice favoring 'quality' stocks, suggesting that current market conditions may favor riskier or less traditionally valued equities, reflecting differing views on investment strategies amid uncertainty.
