S&P 500 Gains Amid Stock Decline
While the S&P 500 index has risen by 14% since the beginning of 2026, reaching record levels, data shows that more than 200 companies listed on it have experienced declines. The gains are primarily concentrated in a limited number of electronic chip and artificial intelligence-related companies. The stock values of "Sandisk" and "Mycronic Technology" have more than tripled, whereas the other components of the index have seen gains of no more than 4%. Additionally, a quarter of the stocks have plummeted by 11% or more. The strong growth in earnings from AI-related companies supports the market’s ascent, despite the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes, which raise concerns about the sustainability of the market’s strength and its potential impact on companies not involved in AI. Technology and energy continue to lead the index’s gains, while the weak performance of most companies indicates that the market's rise heavily depends on a few major firms.
