International Stocks Quietly Outperformed the S&P 500 in 2025 — Here’s Why It Matters for Your Portfolio in 2026

Most U.S. investors missed a major shift last year…

While the S&P 500 delivered a solid 18% return, international markets (ex-U.S.) returned 32%, and several export-driven economies massively outpaced both:
   •    🇰🇷 South Korea: +95%
   •    🇧🇷 Brazil: +49%
   •    🇯🇵 Japan: +26%

Example of Standout International Equity Performers (2025): See photo and video below

This performance wasn’t luck — it’s the result of shifting macro and valuation dynamics:

✔ Lower global interest rates
✔ Fiscal stimulus in Europe & Japan
✔ Earnings acceleration
✔ Stabilization in China’s AI/cloud sectors
✔ Attractive valuation discounts
✔ Weaker U.S. dollar boosting returns

To put valuation into perspective:
🇺🇸 U.S. equities trade at ~23x forward earnings vs 🌍 ~15.6x internationally.

That valuation gap represents opportunity.

💡 What This Means for Investors in 2026

This isn’t just diversification for “safety.”
International exposure is now return-enhancing, especially across:
   •    European quality & value
   •    Japanese industrial reform plays
   •    Chinese AI, biotech & cloud infrastructure
   •    Brazilian electrification-linked commodities
   •    Indian private-sector banking

Institutional portfolios have been reallocating globally for years.
Retail investors are only now catching up.

Financial education or financial literacy is becoming very important for individuals and families, especially those with limited income. When you are a student, graduate, a professional or a parent, learning how best to balance budgets when making decisions like:

- Pay students loans and bills

- Buy a home

Fund children’s education

- An income before and during retirement.

As there is an increase in the cost of living, austerity measures cap on benefits/allowances etc, people and families are having to make tough money choices daily. Most people lack the ability and knowledge to make informed and better financial decisions. Individuals and families are obliged to make financial decisions without having the right training to companies or financial demands.
