Top 5 High-Flying S&P 500 Stocks with More Upside
The broad-market index, the S&P 500, has been witnessing an impressive bull run in 2023. The benchmark plunged 19.4% in 2022 due to 40-year high inflation, an extremely tight monetary policy and rigorous hikes in interest rate by the Fed.
However, the situation has completely reversed this year. A steady decline in the inflation rate, the cooling down of several key economic metrics, and investors’ expectations of the end of the rate hike cycle resulted in the northbound journey of the index. Year to date, the S&P 500 Index has advanced 19.7%. In November, the benchmark rallied more than 9%.
The U.S. economy is likely to flourish in 2024 as the Fed is set to initiate a rate cut at least in the second half of the year. Several stocks within the S&P 500 portfolio appreciated last month and many outperformed the index itself. However, a handful of those outperformers currently sport a top Zacks Rank.
Our Top Picks
We have narrowed our search to five S&P 500 stocks that provided double-digit returns in November. These stocks have strong upside available for 2024 and have seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the last 30 days. Each of our picks currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
