In a market year defined by dizzying rotations and the exhaustion of speculative enthusiasm, portfolio manager Darren Sissons of Campbell, Lee & Ross is counseling a return to fundamentals — identifying three companies whose genuine worth has been obscured by the noise of 2026's volatility. His selections in royalty mining, enterprise software, and reinsurance suggest that the most durable opportunities often emerge not where the crowd is looking, but precisely where it has stopped looking. It is a reminder, as old as investing itself, that price and value are not always the same thing.

Improved U.S.-Middle East stability reduces energy leverage; stronger U.S. dollar increases American financial asset attractiveness globally while potentially constraining U.S. export competitiveness; Canadian investors benefit from USD strength but face headwinds on export growth.
Similar to 2016 oil price stabilization period when geopolitical de-escalation in Middle East reduced energy volatility and prompted portfolio rebalancing toward technology and defensive sectors.

Moderating inflation from lower oil prices may ease consumer purchasing power, though wage growth remains weak. Higher U.S. interest rates could increase borrowing costs for Canadian consumers. Energy cost relief may offset healthcare and technology service price pressures.
Central banks may recalibrate interest rate expectations based on moderating inflation trends. Regulators may scrutinize AI sector valuations for sustainability. Energy policy may shift given geopolitical stabilization in the Strait of Hormuz. Labor market weakness may prompt policy support discussions.
