↓ -1%Gen Z and millennials are increasing stock purchases in 2026 despite recession fears, according to The Motley Fool's 2026 Investor Outlook and Predictions Report. The survey of 2,000 investors found that 68% of Gen Z and 64% of millennials plan to boost stock investments this year, compared to just 46% of Gen X and 39% of baby boomers. The optimism is driven largely by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence stocks, with 71% of Gen Z and 69% of millennials bullish on AI investments. Among existing AI stock owners, 81% have a positive outlook for 2026. In contrast, over half of baby boomers and 44% of Gen X plan to hold rather than buy stocks, citing concerns about inflation and potential recession. The generational divide reflects younger investors' longer time horizons and confidence in emerging technologies.
Knowles Corporation president and CEO Jeffrey Niew sold 50,000 shares worth approximately $1.2 million on 15 January through a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The sale, executed at a weighted average price of $24.75, represented 5.62% of his direct holdings and marked his largest single open-market sale since December 2024. The transaction occurred after Knowles shares gained 24% over the previous year. The company reported strong third-quarter results in October, with revenue rising 7% year-over-year to $153 million and earnings per share increasing 22% to $0.33, both at the high end of guidance ranges. Following the sale, Niew retains 839,370 shares valued at approximately $20.9 million. Knowles is scheduled to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on 5 February.
According to The Motley Fool's 2026 AI Investor Outlook Report, 90% of AI investors plan to hold or buy more AI stocks over the next 12 months, with only 7% planning to reduce exposure. The survey, conducted in November 2025 during a significant pullback in AI stocks, found that around 60% of respondents remain confident in long-term returns. Despite concerns about an AI bubble and an MIT report showing 95% of organisations implementing generative AI tools are seeing zero return on investment, retail investors appear committed to the sector. Analysts note a key difference from the dot-com bubble: today's AI leaders like Nvidia generate substantial revenue and profits. Nvidia reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $57 billion and net income of $31.9 billion.
