Can Stocks Keep Rising? Here Are Cases For—And Against—More Gains for the S&P 500
Key Takeaways Wellington-Altus's chief market strategist says the S&P 500 could climb about 15% by the spring of 2026. President Donald Trump "has reset the economic cycle, setting the stage for a historic rally," he wrote. But market watchers aren't unanimous about the road ahead. A technical strategist thinks one sector's rise signals a seasonal slowdown. Like banging the top of an old TV set could clear up static, Trump's Liberation Day might've been the hard reset needed to pave the way for stocks to keep rising. But with the U.S. indexes already around highs, some watchers think the possibility of a correction is impossible to ignore. That's the case Jim Thorne, chief market strategist at Canadian investment firm Wellington-Altus, made in what he called the "new American framework" in a report published Tuesday. The S&P 500 could reach 7,500 by the spring of next year, Thorne wrote, implying upside of about 15% from recent levels. As tariff policy evolved after Liberation Day, strategists who'd pulled back S&P 500 targets turned optimistic again. The rally, however, has some observers wary: Fundstrat's head of technical strategy Mark Newton on Tuesday wrote that the S&P 500 could experience resistance after joining the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), an ETF tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, at all-time highs. Market breadth, a technical indicator used to measure market momentum, has declined since mid-July, and defensive sectors, like staples, have been advancing. The latter, Newton said, is what technical analysts tend to see before a correction. But the U.S., Thorne argues, is "at the crossroads of fiscal transformation, technological upheaval, and a reawakening of pragmatic innovation." That, he says, means "the chorus of Wall Street elites and bond vigilantes—those 'reasonable' guardians of orthodoxy—suddenly find their well-worn complaints losing traction. The unreasonable innovators, meanwhile, are busy rewriting the rules. The upshot—smart investors don't complain, they just adapt and ignore the noise." An example, Thorne writes: the crypto space, which is evolving quickly, aided by regulatory clarity that is helping demand for bitcoin but also other digital assets. Wall Street and the broader financial system is getting revamped, he said; indeed, fintech platforms have started to roll out tokenized stocks, while retailers like Walmart (WMT) and Amazon (AMZN) are reportedly exploring their own stablecoins, the crypto industry's answer to payments. Thorne advised investors to ignore "fear-driven narratives" and position for growth with more exposure to sectors and companies in artificial intelligence, blockchain, tokenization, industrials, as well as digital asset infrastructure and financials.

Greenlight's David Einhorn dumps most of Peloton stake, adds big industrial bet
David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital shed almost all of its Peloton shares after owning the exercise bike startup for a year, according to a new 13F filing. His hedge fund reduced exposure to Peloton by more than 96% to a stake worth merely $1.2 million at the end of June, the filing showed. The star manager first invested in the tech name in the second quarter of 2024. He even pitched the stock at the Robin Hood Investors Conference while riding a Peloton bike on stage, saying shares were "significantly undervalued." Earlier this month, the company posted a surprise profit for its fiscal fourth quarter and outlined its strategy to return to growth under new CEO Peter Stern . The stock has jumped 19% this month on the back of strong earnings. Still, after rallying 42% in 2024, the stock has fallen about 2% this year, significantly underperforming the S & P 500. PTON 1Y mountain Peloton over the past 1-year period Elsewhere, Greenlight built a significant stake in industrial name Fluor last quarter. The bet worth nearly $200 million was the fund's second biggest holding at the end of June. It seems to be a value bet as the stock has fallen more than 15% this year. Einhorn, a 56-year-old Cornell grad, also picked up smaller stakes in Sotera Health , Cigna Group and Victoria's Secret last quarter. Einhorn founded Greenlight Capital nearly three decades ago and went on to produce a 26% annualized return for the next decade, far outpacing the broader market and many peers. He then thrived during the financial crisis, foreseeing the downfall of Lehman Brothers. His stellar track record made him one of the most followed hedge fund managers on Wall Street. In recent years, he's found some success purchasing value stocks that have buyback strategies in place. At the beginning of the year, Einhorn warned of speculative behavior in the bull market that he thinks has ascended to a level beyond common sense.

AM Best Withdraws Credit Ratings of Riverfront Insurance, LLC
OLDWICK, N.J., August 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has revised the outlooks to negative from stable and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a-" (Excellent) of Riverfront Insurance, LLC (Riverfront) (Wilmington, DE). Concurrently, AM Best has withdrawn these Credit Ratings (ratings) as Riverfront has requested to no longer participate in AM Best's interactive rating process. The ratings reflect Riverfront's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). Riverfront's balance sheet strength is supported by its strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), but offset by a high annual aggregate retention level relative to surplus. The parent supports the company's balance sheet with a net worth maintenance agreement to be used if necessary. AM Best assesses Riverfront's operating performance as adequate based on favorable metrics the company demonstrated over the past few years. Riverfront was created in response to hard market conditions for directors & officers and errors & omissions coverage from a parent with roots in the student loan industry. However, the elevated risk from that association has largely subsided and is also mitigated as Riverfront writes claims-made policies covering claims reported in the policy year of coverage (none to date). Riverfront's ERM is integral to Navient Corporation from whence it originated to cover a portion of potential exposure subject to market pricing and conditions. Riverfront does not use reinsurance. The negative outlooks reflect pressures on the company's risk-adjusted capitalization with the possibility of a significant decrease in shareholder equity. AM Best remains the leading rating agency of alternative risk transfer entities, with more than 200 such vehicles rated in the United States and throughout the world. For current Best's Credit Ratings and independent data on the captive and alternative risk transfer insurance market, please visit This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website.
