Good MorningRetail investors were net sellers last week, reacting to headlines while institutional buyers continued to accumulate. Analyst upgrades and rising earnings estimates signal that Q4 headwinds are becoming tailwinds, with the S&P 500 poised for a breakout. Targets for 2026 now reach as high as 9,000, reflecting confidence in earnings growth and AI-driven momentum. Economic data backs the trend, with labor market strength and Q4 GDP growth still tracking near 3.6%.
This week brings high-impact reports including delayed NFP and CPI data, Empire Manufacturing, retail sales, and housing. Earnings from Lennar, General Mills, Micron, Nike, and Paychex will test sentiment. Micron and Paychex are set up for strong results, while Nike and Lennar face downside risk if margins disappoint. The trend remains intact—momentum continues unless incoming data says otherwise. Featured: Your IRA May Not Be as Safe as You Think (Ad)

| From Our Partners | | If you have $2M or more saved, the 4% rule points to roughly $92,000 a year - but it's a single-variable answer to a multi-variable problem.
