The macro environment is expected to be favorable versus prior expectations in 2025 for the business and information services sector, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that while re-inflation is a risk, and yields have backed up, it remains optimistic with respect to the ability of business and info services companies to navigate challenges.
