Morgan Stanley – The BEAT Q1 2026, Feb 2026
Summary
The BEAT is a quarterly global market and asset allocation guide covering bonds, equities, alternatives, and transition assets.
The report highlights an economic soft patch starting in 2025 expected to continue into Q1 2026 but improve in Q2 2026. Policy support through tax relief and monetary easing will help offset softer data, with the Federal Reserve likely to continue easing policy. Deregulation in the U.S., U.K., and Europe is anticipated to unlock significant lending capacity benefiting banks and financial sectors, especially in the U.S. where $2.6 trillion in lending capacity will be unlocked. The report remains overweight on U.S. and European banks, with a positive market consensus expecting a stronger recovery in Q2 2026.
