  • History hints the S&P 500 could climb again in 2026
    January 17, 2026, 6:30 PM EST. History offers a clear answer for 2026: the S&P 500 could keep rising, though risks loom. The index has climbed double digits for three straight years, up about 78% in that span, powered by AI growth stocks and a supportive, lower-rate environment that boosts corporate earnings and consumer spending. The market now trades near levels last seen in the dot-com era, as measured by the inflation-adjusted Shiller CAPE ratio, signaling valuation scrutiny ahead. Demand for AI products remains robust, with data-center firms expanding capacity and firms like Alphabet and Meta reporting steady earnings growth. If the AI cycle stays intact, the market may push higher again. But higher valuations, a potential shift in rates or policy and past tariffs headwinds could temper upside.
