Most S&P 500 Stocks Are Rising Together — Widest Since December 2024

72% of S&P 500 companies' share prices sit above their average price over the past 200 trading days — a sign they're trending upward — the most since December 2024 (Barchart). That means gains are widespread, not driven by a few giants. Goldman Sachs lifted its year-end target to 8,000 from 7,600 (May 26), but its projected ~6% return trails the index's ~10% long-run and ~16% decade averages (Chase). Healthy breadth doesn't guarantee what prices do next.
