Rotation Watch: Is Tech Setting Up for a Comeback?
Pharma leads now, but fading macro data may reopen doors for growth sectors like tech.
Market Overview – October 2, 2025
Markets remain resilient even as macro headwinds build. The S&P 500 posted a new high, powered by gains in pharma stocks, but beneath the surface, signs of a potential sector rotation are emerging.
With labor data softening and rate pressure easing, some investors are preparing for a renewed bid into beaten-down growth areas—especially tech.

Here’s Why
Opportunities to Watch
1. Early Signals in Tech
With Treasury yields slipping, pressure on growth valuations could ease. Look for relative strength in software and semiconductors—especially firms with strong AI exposure and clean balance sheets.
2. Oversold Tech Names
Valuation-sensitive tech firms that underperformed in Q3 may see upside as rate expectations flatten. Watch for technical basing patterns and earnings guidance revisions.
3. Pharma Leadership as a Defensive Trade
Healthcare remains a hedge if growth stumbles. Momentum in big pharma suggests institutional accumulation.

Risks and What to Watch
1. Data Drought from Government Shutdown
With economic reports paused, markets may overreact to low-quality headlines. Expect elevated volatility in high-beta names.
2. Labor Weakness Could Delay Recovery
ADP’s negative print signals fragility. If confirmed by broader data, consumer-led tech demand may take a hit.
3. Fragile Valuations in AI Winners
Select AI-heavy stocks are priced for perfection. Missed earnings or guidance downgrades could trigger swift selloffs.
Bottom Line
Pharma may be leading, but tech could be quietly setting the stage for a fourth-quarter rebound. If rate pressures ease and earnings surprise to the upside, the rotation could accelerate. Stay selective and focus on quality growth.
