  • S&P 500 Record Highs Not Strong Sell Signals, Historical Data Shows
    April 28, 2026, 9:06 AM EDT. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) recently hit its 10th record close this year, prompting debate among investors about buying at all-time highs. Historical data since 1928 reveals that median one-year gains after record highs stand at 9.6%, nearly matching 9.5% after non-record days. Over five years, gains following highs and non-highs averaged 44% and 47%, respectively. The likelihood of the market being higher a year later is about 70% in both cases. While all-time highs precede some notable drawdowns-including worst-case slides up to 45%-these peaks cluster during strong upward momentum phases. Experts suggest all-time highs signal a need for strategy reassessment, not immediate withdrawal. Market history challenges the notion that buying at record highs is excessively risky.
