The Stock Market Just Did Something for the 9th Time Since 1957. History Says It Signals a Big Move in the S&P 500 Within the Next Year.
Key Points The S&P 500 closed above its 20-day moving average every day for 68 straight days. History shows the S&P 500 is almost always higher in the year following such a streak, racking up additional gains of 11%, on average. Tariffs or persistent inflation could still stymie the rally, but the long-term future looks bright. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › This year has been one for the record books. After hitting a new all-time high in February, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) promptly reversed course, tumbling 19%. Fears about the impact of tariffs and their potential to reignite inflation were pervasive. However, since those dark days in early April, the market has rebounded, hitting 10 record highs in July and gaining 29% over the past four months. During that time, the market closed above a key metric for 68 consecutive days. A streak of that magnitude has occurred just eight times before. The data shows that on almost every previous occasion, the benchmark index continued to climb during the coming 12 months, generating additional double-digit returns. Let's review the data and see what it says about the coming year. History suggests the S&P 500 will continue to climb over the next 12 months A brief primer might be in order to provide a suitable backdrop. The 20-day moving average is a widely used technical indicator that helps traders track the market's underlying short-term momentum. This measure is calculated by averaging the closing price of the market (or a given security) during the 20 previous trading days. This helps smooth out price fluctuations and helps to expose underlying trends. While this tool isn't typically used by long-term investors, it can provide valuable insight. To recap, the S&P 500 recently closed above its 20-day moving average for 68 consecutive days. This marks just the ninth 60-plus-day streak since the benchmark index debuted in 1957, according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at financial services company Carson Group. His research shows that in the 12 months following these previous occurrences, the S&P has risen seven out of eight times, notching additional gains of 11%, on average. This chart shows the years in which the S&P 500 managed a 60-plus-day streak and the returns of the index in the succeeding 12 months: Year of 60+ Days Above 20-Day Moving Average S&P 500 12-Month Change 1961 4% 1964 11% 1965 -12% 1971 9% 1975 21% 1986 18 1997 15% 1998 21% Average 11% Data source: Carson Group. Chart by author. As the chart illustrates, the S&P 500 delivered returns of 11% on average during the 12 months following a period when the benchmark closed above its 20-day moving average for 60 consecutive days (or longer). For context, the benchmark index has returned 8% annually, on average, since its inception in 1957. This shows that the market performed well above average following these streaks. That said, investors would do well to remember the Wall Street proverb, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." There's always the exception that proves the rule. However, understanding the data can help investors make informed decisions based on historical context. The fly in the ointment Given the historic volatility investors have experienced so far this year and the elevated uncertainty that remains, it's easy to understand why investors might have difficulty believing the market can achieve additional double-digit gains over the coming 12 months. After all, the ongoing tariff negotiations are far from settled, and the battle to rein in inflation continues. Furthermore, there's contradictory evidence, at least thus far, about the impact of tariffs on the broader economy. The continuing market volatility and uncertainty regarding tariffs have some investors wary about what the future might hold, but those investing with a five-to-10-year time horizon generally have a different mindset. The fine print The evidence suggests the market will continue its winning ways over the coming year, but there are no guarantees. Furthermore, even if those increases do come to pass, investors shouldn't forget the lessons learned earlier this year -- the benchmark averages can and do plunge on the way to achieving new heights. While historical data suggests the market will rise by double digits over the next 12 months, it could experience setbacks several times on the path to future gains. In fact, I'm fairly confident in suggesting that the volatility that has been prevalent so far this year will likely continue. Having a set investing schedule and adding to your portfolio at regular intervals takes much of the guesswork out of the process and offers the best path to prosperity. It also helps instill the discipline necessary to succeed over the long term, regardless of the market's short-term movements. History is clear: The stock market has generated average returns of 10% annually going back 50 years. That's why having a long-term mindset is one of the keys to investing success.

Consulting is changing. Here are 4 unlikely ways the Big Four are reinventing themselves to seem less 'stodgy.'
This year, Deloitte became the first of the Big Four consulting and accountancy firms to launch a satellite into space. No, really. You may know Deloitte, EY, PwC, and KPMG for consulting, accounting, audit, and tax, which embed them in some of the world's biggest organizations and generate billions in annual revenue for each firm. But space, advertising, and venture capital are among the buzzier projects they've been developing. These ventures are a way for the companies to show they are adapting to industry changes, Tom Rodenhauser, managing director of the consulting industry research firm Kennedy Intelligence, told Business Insider. They "demonstrate their innovation and creativity" while distancing the Big Four from their "stodgy audit reputation," he added. They also boost their profiles and serve as a recruitment tool, he said. The initiatives also bring consulting arms closer to tech companies and AI innovators, Rodenhauser said, as the firms pin their future success on the technology. "I do expect more of these as consulting becomes even more technical," he added. Here are some Big Four's ventures that may not come to mind when you picture accountants and consultants. EY Studio+ Your creative ad campaign isn't typically led by a team of corporate suits, but EY has acquired 37 agencies and firms specializing in design, marketing, and customer experience since 2014. In June, it announced that it was launching a business unit focused on marketing and sales, called EY Studio+. The division launched with 7,000 employees, and EY said it plans to expand it by 10% to 20% in the following year. EY was playing catch-up with rivals Deloitte, which has offered marketing solutions through Deloitte Digital since 2012, and Accenture, which created Accenture Song in 2022. EY Studio+ offers design, marketing, sales, customer service, and customer technology services. Its website features case studies that set out how it can advise clients on the back-office systems and strategies of marketing departments — as with its existing consulting work — but also take the lead in designing customer experiences. Laurence Buchanan, global leader of EY Studio+, told Business Insider, that they were targeting chief marketing officers who were "under increasing pressure to re-imagine their customer experience and business models" because of AI. When it launched the studio, EY said that the new unit marks "a significant milestone" in CEO Janet Truncale's"All in" strategy to reshape the firm to tackle client "issues that are more complex and inter-connected than ever before." Deloitte-1 Satellite Deloitte — the largest of the Big Four, by annual revenue and employee numbers — has had a space division since April 2023 and launched a satellite in March in collaboration with SpaceX and Spire, a space data company. "We're driving space-enabled innovation and shaping what's possible for industries both on and off this planet," Jason Girzadas, CEO of Deloitte US, said in a LinkedIn post. In July, Deloitte announced that it had built and installed a cyber defense system on its satellite, called "silent shield." Brett Loubert, leader of Deloitte's US space practice, said it would help clients protect their space-based assets and "understand and manage the risks to their missions, strengthen their cyber resiliency and protect against evolving cyber threats." KPMG and Hippocratic AI Like the rest of the Big Four, KPMG has long had healthcare organizations among its advisory clients, but it's recently moved to direct collaborations with healthtech companies. The industry is booming, and in July, KPMG announced it was working with Hippocratic AI to deploy teams of medical AI agents. The AI agents are designed to address backlogs in healthcare systems by conducting "non-diagnostic patient-facing clinical tasks," KPMG said in a press release. Hippocratic AI developed the agents, while KPMG's role is to analyse and improve operations, upskill care professionals, and plan for the expansion of AI "across the entire care continuum." PwC Raise | Ventures PwC has three core lines of business — assurance, advisory, and tax. But the firm has also developed its own venture capital division called PwC Raise | Ventures, which operates in the UK. Raise | Ventures supports rapidly growing startups seeking Series A funding as well as larger businesses looking for further investment to grow, per PwC's website. An online guide says it can help founders improve pitch decks, introduce them to a network of investors, and help with due diligence. Its website tells prospective clients that working with PwC Raise | Ventures will "increase the probability of achieving a successful fundraise on good terms."

1 Unstoppable Growth Stock That's On Track to Double by 2030
Key Points A weak auto market is likely to benefit auto parts retailers like O'Reilly Automotive. Anemic job growth may cause consumers to delay new car purchases, which also helps O'Reilly. O'Reilly's valuation is currently high, which might concern some investors. 10 stocks we like better than O'Reilly Automotive › Five years ago, who would've guessed that O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) would be one of the market's big winners? But its share price is up roughly 240% since then on a split-adjusted basis, crushing the S&P 500's five-year return of 106%. How did O'Reilly do it? Well, besides having one of the catchiest jingles out there ("Oh, Oh, Oh, O'Reillyyyyyyyy...!"), the company has been rapidly opening new stores and buying back stock. Its shares just split 15-for-1 in June. Even though its split-adjusted share price has doubled in less than three years, O'Reilly stock could double again by 2030. Here's how. Weak auto sales are an auto parts retailer's dream U.S. auto sales have been going through a rough patch, and recent trade policy changes seem likely to make things worse in the short term. New tariffs on auto imports and various imported auto components have now kicked in on top of already high tariffs on automaking essentials like aluminum. This seems almost certain to boost the price of a new car by thousands of dollars. That will likely drive up used car prices as well, pushing down already weak demand even further. That may be bad for U.S. automakers, but it's a boon for an auto parts supplier like O'Reilly. A slump in vehicle purchasing means that people hang onto their existing cars for longer. And the longer you have a car, the more likely it is that something on it -- whether it's a headlight bulb or an automatic transmission -- will need to be replaced, and O'Reilly will be happy to sell it to you (or to your mechanic). Weak job numbers are an auto parts retailer's dream Meanwhile, recent Labor Department data indicates that the U.S. job market may be softening. In its latest report, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that just 73,000 jobs were created in July, far fewer than many economists anticipated. The BLS also revised the previous two months' job numbers down significantly. That matches recent anecdotal evidence that hiring has substantially slowed. When people are unable to find a job -- or worried about hanging onto the one they have -- they're unlikely to make a major purchase like a new car, or even a used car. If hiring slows further or if the U.S. tips into a full-blown recession, many drivers may have no choice but to hang onto their existing vehicle, even if it's got problems. That may be bad for carmakers, but it's good for O'Reilly, which sells the parts needed to keep a clunker on the road. A high valuation is a stock buyer's nightmare One big concern for potential O'Reilly investors is how much its share price has risen. The company's trailing price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 5.2 is already much higher than that of rivals Autozone (NYSE: AZO) or Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP), which sit at 3.6 and 0.4, respectively. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has jumped to a multidecade high of 36.4, also well above that of its rivals. That said, given the company's solid track record and excellent prospects for further growth, its premium valuation makes sense. For O'Reilly's share price to double by 2030, it would need to increase by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 15% per year. That seems achievable. In the most recent quarter, diluted earnings per share were up 11% year over year, and management projected a 3% net increase in store count for the year. Add a few additional percentage points of sales growth from weakening auto sales and a softening labor market, and you could easily get a 15% CAGR for O'Reilly stock. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but even if O'Reilly falls short of a five-year double, it should still end up a long-term winner for investors.
