  • Bank of America warns of too many red flags in U.S. stocks, advises profit-taking
    June 8, 2026, 10:23 AM EDT. Bank of America flags seven out of ten bear market indicators triggered in May, up from five in April, signaling potential risks ahead for U.S. stocks. Strategist Savita Subramanian advises cautious profit-taking with a 6% downside forecast for the S&P 500 by year-end, targeting 7,100 points. A key concern is the extreme performance gap in the tech sector, now at 120 percentage points between top and bottom quintiles-the largest since the 2000 dotcom bubble. Despite the S&P 500 hitting record highs, gains are concentrated in few stocks, raising alarms over market breadth. Recent chip stock sell-offs follow mixed signals from earnings, with some analysts viewing this as a healthy market correction, maintaining strong buy ratings on leading chipmakers.
