In this episode of What’s in Store, Karly Iacono and Chris Ressa discuss why the current data and market structure suggest retail may be entering its next leg up in 2026. They walk through how consumer behavior, pricing dynamics, and cost pressures are shaping the outlook and how this cycle compares to prior periods.

They also share how they think about risk, resilience, and where retail fundamentals appear best positioned as the market moves forward.

This episode provides context for why 2026 may build on 2025 rather than reverse it.
