Financial firm Kobeissi Letter now believes the S&P 500 is on a path to reach levels above 8,000 points. The analysis cites several key factors: semiconductor stocks are gradually becoming the new leaders of this bull market. While many Magnificent 7 stocks have fallen more than 20% from their recent highs, semiconductor stocks have significantly outperformed. Currently, 8 of the top 10 S&P 500 stocks year-to-date belong to the semiconductor industry. Despite weakness in large-cap tech stocks, the S&P 500 is now only about 1% away from its all-time high. This marks the first time since 2022 that the market is continuing to grow relying on a group other than the Magnificent 7, which has moved in the opposite direction. The firm believes this leadership shift is a positive sign that could set the stage for a return of large-cap tech stocks to an upward trend.
