We're Witnessing the Stock Market Do Something for Only the 6th Time in 98 Years, and History Couldn't Be Clearer What's Next for Stocks
History says the music may be about to stop on Wall Street.
Overview
With roughly three months left in 2026, it's shaping up as another big win for investors. As of midday trading on Sept. 29, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and tech-focused Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) were higher by 6.6%, 11.9%, and 15.1% for the year.
Wall Street's bull market is on the doorstep of celebrating its fourth anniversary, with the artificial intelligence infrastructure build-out leading the way. Empowering software and systems with the tools to make split-second, autonomous decisions is a multitrillion-dollar opportunity that investors simply don't want to miss.
