Former Goldman Sachs partner warns that US stock valuations should raise concerns among investors

Cohen said in an interview on Friday: "Valuation is basically saying that everything is great." She warned: "When everything is priced for perfection, that's when investors need to worry." Cohen believes we are currently at an inflection point and expressed particular caution regarding the labor market. After 2025 became one of the worst years in decades outside of recession periods, the May employment report showed that the labor market strengthened across many industries. The data for June will be released on July 2. Cohen said: "There are some things that are standard and straightforward, including corporate profitability, corporate balance sheets, and the underlying strength of the economy, which is measured not only by GDP and industrial production, but also by job creation. Right now, we are not creating enough jobs."
