Plus, our Q4 2025 stock market outlook. On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter, Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss what impact the government shutdown may have on the Federal Reserve’s October meeting. Dave explains why he’s watching the earnings reports from Pepsi PEP and Delta Air Lines DAL this week and reveals whether Carnival CCL or Nike NKE are stocks to buy after earnings. They cover whether the U.S. stock market looks overvalued at the start of the fourth quarter, if investors should underweight red-hot growth stocks, and which sectors look most attractive today. Morningstar chief Europe market strategist Michael Field joins the podcast, focusing on investment opportunities in Europe. The episode wraps up with 4 new stocks to buy and hold in the fourth quarter that haven’t been picks before.
