During healthy bull markets, investors routinely embrace risk-on strategies. High-flying tech stocks tend to outperform while defensive sectors and safe-haven assets are often disregarded. But in 2026 we're seeing the opposite. Now in its fourth year, the bull market has likely entered its late stage. The Magnificent Seven continue to underperform, software stocks are suffering some of their worst losses since the previous bear market, and investors are embarking on a flight to safety that has benefited cyclical and defensive investments. That has produced outsized gains for two sectors: energy and materials. The last time either sector led the S&P 500 was in 2021, when energy topped the index in the lead-up to the last bear market, and again in 2022, when energy led throughout the bear market. Now, evidence suggests these sectors may keep their market-leading gains this year, illustrated by a gold development company and an oil-and-gas trust that are mirroring the trend. Macro Factors Continue Rewarding Underappreciated Sectors Energy leads all S&P 500 sectors with a year-to-date gain of nearly 28%, followed by materials at roughly 10%. The broader market, by contrast, is down more than 3% on the year, with financials trailing at an 11% loss. That's hardly a coincidence. The U.S. Dollar Index remains down more than 8% since January 2025. The Trump administration's tariff policies have helped fuel a "sell America" trade, and ongoing uncertainty has produced outflows from U.S. equities in favor of foreign markets. Additionally, consumer confidence has plunged to its lowest level in more than a decade, the labor market has weakened, and geopolitical instability has disrupted global markets from energy to agriculture. In turn, speculative sectors are suffering while energy and materials—driven by absolute demand—continue to thrive. Two companies offer clues that the current macro environment may support more of the same. Vista Gold Suggests the Precious Metal Rally Has Legs Gold prices jumped when the United States and Israel began coordinated military operations against Iran on Feb. 28, further propelling the precious metal's price. Even before the latest escalation, heightened market volatility, trade uncertainty and pre-emptive military actions associated with the Trump administration had already been boosting gold prices. Investors should expect more of the same going forward, as evidenced by Vista Gold (NYSEAMERICAN: VGZ), a small-cap gold development company that reported full-year and Q4 2025 results on Friday, March 13. As a development company, Vista Gold is pre-revenue, so its Q4 earnings per share (EPS) of negative 6 cents wasn't the headline. More notable was that the company ended 2025 debt-free. Vista Gold also finished the year with a strong cash position and had raised nearly $42 million to advance the Mt Todd gold project in Australia's Northern Territory—a large, advanced-stage project with "measured and indicated gold resources totaling 9.1 million ounces," according to the company's website. The biggest takeaway was the company's confidence in progress at Mt Todd. With a projected 30-year mine life, Mt Todd offers significant scale and promising economics. A feasibility study last year reported 5.2 million ounces of proven and probable reserves and demonstrated attractive returns for a development sized at 15,000 tonnes per day (5.3 million tonnes per year). The stock, which gained 172% over the past year, illustrates the renewed bullishness in the gold industry in 2026. Vista Gold forecasts an after-tax payback period of 1.7 years and an after-tax internal rate of return of 44.7%. Permian Basin Royalty Trust Indicates That Energy's Run Has Just Begun The outbreak of war in Iran has roiled oil markets, with the fallout being felt from the gas pump to utility bills. That has benefited the oil majors, with ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), and Shell (NYSE: SHEL) all recently hitting record highs. Lower in the energy hierarchy, trusts like Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) show the rally is broad and likely nascent. Amid speculation that oil prices could reach $200 per barrel, the key story with Permian—similar to Vista Gold—is less about past results and more about future expectations. Despite the stock climbing 106% over the past year, there is likely more in store for shareholders as its margins remain strong. According to an SEC filing last month, the trust— which holds royalty interests in oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin in West Texas—reported a profit margin of more than 87% on its Texas Royalty Properties. That Feb. 17 announcement came before the Iran conflict escalated later that month, meaning PBT's net income is very likely to increase from the average price per barrel it saw in February. At the time, the trust cited oil prices of $56.78 per barrel. Today, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. crude benchmark, is trading at $95.48 per barrel. On March 10 the stock crossed above its 200-day moving average—a bullish long-term indicator that suggests further upside, bolstered by a tightening global oil supply. Fundamentally, Permian Basin is operating in strong financial health, ranking in TradeSmith's Green Zone for over nine months. Taken together, Vista Gold and Permian Basin Royalty Trust provide concrete examples of how macro forces — from geopolitical risk to a weaker dollar — are currently supporting materials and energy, and why those sectors may continue to lead the market in 2026. |
