Good MorningEquities continued to rebound on Tuesday with the S&P 500 up more than a half of a percent at the high of the session. The move has the index within a quarter percent of the all-time high and a new all-time high could be set this week. The reason is better than expected earnings from key index members such as Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson reported better than expected revenue and earnings and raised guidance for the year sending its shares up more than 2.5%.
Wednesday’s trading should be more of the same with reports from Netflix, Abbott Laboratories, and The WD-40 Corporation to lift sentiment. If the index sets a new all-time high it will likely attract new money and send the market even higher, if not investors may need to prepare for another round of selling. While the average S&P company is beating their consensus estimates results are not even across the 13 S&P sectors.

From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
