The Municipal Market in 2026, HilltopSecurities' Sector Credit Outlooks

2026 is a “discipline year” for municipals. The post‑2020/2021 subsidy glow is fading, rating momentum is normalizing (upgrades still lead, but by less), and outcomes will increasingly be driven by issuer‑by‑issuer fundamentals and credit selection rather than a broad uplift.

January 2026 Was an Important Month for U.S. Municipals

Very strong January municipal bond demand was key for the market. More than $7 billion flowed into municipal bond funds, including about $2 billion in the latest week per Lipper data.

2025 Municipal Bond Analyst Survey

The results are based on a survey conducted by HilltopSecurities in December 2025 & January 2026. The data was collected from 90 municipal bond credit analysts/ specialists.
