FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha) Unveils 2025 Financial Outlook

Analysis Spans U.S. Economy, Consumer Spending, AI Investments, Federal Reserve and Future Planning

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha) today released the FNBO 2025 Outlook: Stay the Course, offering an in-depth analysis of economic and market conditions.

"This year's Outlook centers around future planning and offers our perspective on the U.S. financial and economic landscape, as well as key trends impacting investment portfolios," said Kurt Spieler, Chief Investment Officer of Wealth Management at FNBO. "Based on our analysis, we believe the U.S. economy will continue to outperform the rest of the world and expect the dollar to reflect that strength."

Among the Outlook's outlined perspectives:

• The U.S. economy is expected to grow, driven by ongoing consumer and government spending.
• Rising net worth and real wage growth are boosting consumption.
• The labor market is balanced between demand and supply with manageable household debt levels.
• Government spending is driving short-term growth, while corporate investment provides a more sustainable foundation.
• The U.S. is leading the way in AI investment, which may lead to productivity gains and long-term economic growth.
• Profits in the U.S. are projected to accelerate, though international earnings estimates remain modest.
• Stocks often perform well during Fed easing cycles, but high valuations in U.S. large-caps may limit returns.
• For risk-averse investors, Treasuries and municipal bonds offer appealing after-tax yields.
• Given market valuations, it's prudent to rebalance portfolios to the targeted long-term asset allocation.

"History shows that investors are rewarded by maintaining a disciplined approach, a long-term time horizon and a prudent rebalancing plan. FNBO remains committed to understanding our customer's investment goals and guiding them to the appropriate asset allocation to meet those objectives," added Spieler.
