When will the stock market crash?

Multiple investment analysts and fund managers are issuing warnings about potential stock market disruptions in 2026, citing risks including an artificial intelligence valuation bubble, record-fast rallies reminiscent of pre-crash periods, crowded momentum trades vulnerable to flash crashes, and persistent inflation pressures. Jeremy Grantham, Michael Burry, and other prominent investors are divided on timing and severity, with some predicting a necessary correction to spur innovation while others see historical parallels to the 2000 dot-com bust and 1987 Black Monday. JPMorgan and Bank of America strategists warn of elevated risks despite near-term bullish outlooks, particularly in technology stocks and momentum-driven trades.
