Modern computing is approaching the physical limits of semiconductor chips.

In the fourth quarter, small-cap stocks are unlikely to perform as strongly as they did in the third, when the Russell 2000 cleared its prior record going back to 2021, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/08/this-wall-street-strategist-thinks-small-caps-are-inferior-where-to-pick-your-spots.html#selection-1527.0-1534.0">Adam Parker</a>, founder of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/trivector-research/">Trivector Research</a>. He called small caps a “structurally inferior asset class,” pointing to their weaker profitability and overall quality. Citi strategist Chris Montagu also <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/very-speculative-very-frothy-very-greedy-wall-street-says-stock-markets-rise-to-records-poses-risks-140152048.html">warned</a>&nbsp;that increasing bullish bets have left markets more fragile, especially if momentum stalls.
