Build Smarter Reports, Faster: Custom Reporting at Scale with Morningstar Direct

2025 threw up plenty of shocks, but we survived, and European markets still delivered double digit returns. The macroeconomic environment has since improved and the benefit of lower interest rates is slowly filtering down to businesses and consumers, which should be supportive of stocks in 2026. Despite the strong returns in 2025, European equity markets still have some upside potential, which is good news for investors. The big question now however is what could cause us disruption in 2026, will it be more trade wars, political instability in Europe, or another left field event like Covid-19?
 
What we will cover:
• We will look at major price movements across the EMEA coverage universe and opportunities this has created.
• How sector valuations have shifted over the last quarter, and where we see value
• Relative valuation of the European market versus other regions
• Our top stock picks across the European coverage universe

Morningstar's Q1 EMEA Market Outlook: Markets Poised for Another Strong Year, But What Could Derail the Momentum?

Morningstar is committed to increasing transparency, explainability, and confidence in our Medalist Ratings. Join us for an in-depth webinar where we’ll introduce our simplified approach to ratings and methodology. 

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the changes, including: 
• Transparent Pillars: Quant-driven fundamental pillars (People, Process, Parent) will now include greater visibility into the underlying inputs — including new metrics like Fund Manager Successful Experience*— so investors can better understand how a Medalist Rating is determined. There will continue to be a delineation between pillar ratings that come from an analyst or algorithm.  
• Simplified Structure: Funds are evaluated against their Morningstar Category average rather than a benchmark, enabling investors to more easily identify Medalist options within a category and make meaningful peer comparisons.  
• New Price Score: A Morningstar Medalist Rating Price Score from –2.5 to 2.5 will explicitly reflect whether an investment’s fee is a liability or competitive advantage, subtracting from or adding to the overall rating.  
• Fixed Rating Thresholds: Medalist Ratings will be determined by a simple combination of fundamental pillar ratings and a Medalist Rating Price Score, increasing stability by eliminating a forced distribution of ratings that caused ratings to change based on updates to other funds.  

*Fund Manager Successful Experience: Tenure-weighted average of the successful manager experience values for the managers listed on the fund. The successful manager experience value for each manager is the total number of months over the past 10 years in which a manager achieved a positive gross-of-fee excess return over the category index, minus the number of months with negative ones.

European equity markets have had a rollercoaster nine months, but are up 8% year to date, a solid return in a normal year. Both the EU and the UK now have a trade agreement in place with the US, oil prices are waning, and interest rates are low in Europe and falling in the UK. There is of course the possibility for geopolitics to spoil the party, from capricious policy making in the US, to an unstable French government. But thus far the market is shrugging off these concerns. Whether the market is right or not will come out in the next few months.

In this session our Equity Analysts will discuss a myriad of topics, from public vs private opportunities for asset managers, to how banks are surviving in a lower interest rate environment, and whether more opportunities will arise as French political turmoil beckons.
