Why this strategist sees a 6–8% market climb over the next year
US stocks (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) have rallied from Trump's "Liberation Day" lows, but Piper Sandler chief investment strategist Michael Kantrowitz says the market has even more room to run despite looming uncertainties. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. Michael, it is great to see you, sir, as always. But let's start off, um, maybe bigger picture, Michael. You know, you look at this market, big move off that April low, impressive the mood and the speed of it, Michael. Where do you stand on this market here? When you're talking to clients, are you telling them, listen, we're we're going to move still higher? Well, I think over over time, yeah, over the next 12 months, I I think we could see the market still go up another 6 to 8 percent. Uh, I think it's important to recognize or acknowledge that the last three months moves was largely, uh, pricing out of macro risk, whether you look at PEs, which have rebounded, or credit spreads, which have compressed, it's been a very macro, uh, led tape where kind of a rising tide has lifted all boats. Going forward, we should not expect, uh, we should not extrapolate this or expect, you know, this sustained the same level of returns, of course, every three months. And we'll probably see earnings matter a lot more for stocks than macro, uh, in in the coming months. What about the Trump tariffs, uh, Michael? You know, we were just talking about that. Trump's speaking for a while today. I think nearly two hours, making more news on tariffs. We had some market pros and strategists on the show this week, Michael. And they they looked at those headlines, and honestly, they they kind of said, you know what? Got to take a deep breath. I mean, literally take a deep breath and and just realize that, in their words, it's just it's just a Trump tactic. It's a Trump negotiating strategy. Do you agree with that, Michael, or is that maybe too complacent? Well, I think you you have to somewhat agree with that because that's been the the recent pattern. Uh, I don't think we're going back anywhere near levels we saw earlier this year. The market's already been shocked by tariffs. Uh, I'm not surprised we're obviously still debating it because it's still very much a real issue. I just think it's more, uh, of a of a risk to the downside for specific companies or specific industries rather than systemically a downside risk to the economy or markets.

The Stock Market Did Something for Just the 6th Time Since 1957. History Says It Signals a Big Move for the S&P 500 Over the Coming Year.
The S&P 500 just delivered one of the greatest three-month rallies in its storied history, gaining 25% and reaching a new record high on Thursday. History shows the S&P 500 has always been higher in the year following a three-month rally of 25%, notching additional gains of 22%, on average. Inflation or tariffs could still derail the rally, but the long-term future looks bright. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › This year has been a wild ride for investors. After notching a new all-time high in mid-February, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) promptly slumped 19% on fears tariffs imposed by the Trump administration would derail economic growth and reignite inflation. However, since its early-April lows, the market has staged a remarkable recovery, gaining 26% during the past three months and reaching a new record high on Thursday, July 10. To give that move historical context, the S&P 500 has gained 25% during a three-month period just five other times in its storied history. The data shows that in every previous instance, the benchmark index has delivered additional gains over the next 12 months, generating double-digit returns. Let's look at what this means for investors. The S&P 500 has generated returns of 25% or more during a three-month period just five other times since the benchmark index was introduced in 1957, according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at financial services company Carson Group. His research shows that in the 12 months following each of those occasions, the S&P has always risen, and notched double-digit gains every time. This table shows the years in which the S&P 500 generated gains of 25% (or more) during a three-month period and the returns of the index during the succeeding 12 months: Year of S&P 500 25% (+) Rally S&P 500 12-Month Change 1975 18% 1982 20% 1999 12% 2009 19% 2020 39% Average 21% Data source: Carson Group. Table by author. As the table illustrates, the S&P 500 delivered returns of 21% on average during the 12 months following a period when it gained 25% within three months. For context, the benchmark index has returned 10% annually since its inception in 1957. This shows that the market's performance was much better than average following these rallies. To quote the old Wall Street axiom, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." That said, given the available data and its historical context, students of history can make an informed decision about the trajectory of the market over the coming year. The S&P 500 closed out Thursday at about 6,280, so the index would need to clear 7,033 to hit the low end of the historical range by next July. Bullish analysts are already on board. As my colleague Trevor Jennewine points out, 2025 year-end targets for the S&P 500 range from 5,500 (roughly 12% below Thursday's close) to 7,007, about 12% higher than current levels. That seems to suggest that the market has a pretty good shot at hitting that threshold over the coming year. Given the historic volatility and uncertainty that remains, it's easy to understand why investors might not be confident that the current stock market rally will continue. After all, the on-again, off-again tariffs have long been in flux, and the battle against persistent inflation is far from settled. Furthermore, experts have conflicting opinions about the ultimate impact of said tariffs on inflation. As if to emphasize the point, President Trump announced plans this week to impose double-digit reciprocal tariffs on a number of countries if the U.S. doesn't have trade agreements in place by Aug. 1. The volatility of the markets and the aforementioned tariffs have some investors concerned about what the near term might hold -- but long-term investors tend to view the future through a different lens. Does this mean the market will continue to post gains? Not at all. Note that the historical returns examples provided take 12 months to play out. While the data suggests the market will sport double-digit gains over the coming year, I expect the broader market to deliver a couple of head fakes over the coming weeks and months, and I wouldn't be surprised if the historic volatility investors have experienced continues. Additionally, adding to your portfolio regularly -- in good times and bad -- takes much of the guesswork out of investing and helps investors develop the discipline to prosper over the long term, regardless of which direction the short-term market winds are blowing. History shows that the stock market has generated returns of 10% annually, on average, over the past 50 years. This is a clear indication that investing with a focus on the long term is the clearest path to success -- even if history repeats itself.

New PGA Tour CEO Lays Out Plan to Expand Golf's Digital Footprint
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The PGA Tour recently handed its reins to an ex-NFL Chief Media and Business Officer with over 20 years of experience, and he's already shaking things up. Brian Rolapp, currently in a transitional period, was officially announced as the new PGA Tour CEO just 25 days ago. On Friday, during his interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, he laid out his early priorities. "When you work in the sports business, it's not that complicated," he said. "You need to think like a fan. And I think the fans have spoken, they want to see the best golfers play more often. That should be a goal for the sport in general." The Harvard Business School graduate acknowledged the complexities of a potential deal with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, calling it "a blank sheet of paper" and "a situation involving no less than two sovereign nations." But he was clear about his focus, stating, "The opportunity for the growth of the PGA Tour... and the innovation we can bring, that's going to be my primary focus".

(Photo by Tracy Wilcox/PGA TOUR via Getty Images) Getty Images Rolapp's later expressed more about his digital and tech mindset. "We need to go where the fans are," he said. "And increasingly, the fans are spending their time in digital. A big priority is to increase our digital footprint in all sorts of ways that could include the tour events themselves" The new boss further highlighted an 'underrepresented' concern in the PGA Tour: "But it also include everything in between the tour events, and tell the stories of these golfers and tell the stories of the sport, which I think is underrepresented in media." LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil echoed similar sentiments Scott O'Neil, who is reported to have an old relationship with Rolapp from their Harvard graduation days, echoed similar sentiments on the Rick Shiels Golf Show. "We're (Rolapp & Neil) friends," the LIV Golf CEO said. "He's someone I know really well and have a lot of respect for." O'Neil added that Rolapp's arrival could "facilitate [unification] at a faster pace," especially with LIV's emphasis on team formats and global reach. Interestingly, even when the new PGA Tour CEO was asked whether he wants to see the sport evolve like LIV's team-based model, Rolapp responded: "I think the PGA Tour product is strong as it is. Viewership has grown significantly this year. On Sundays, we're pulling 3 to 4 million viewers, that's a large sports event." He emphasized that fans are "voting with their remotes and their mouses," and that innovation will be welcomed, but not at the expense of tradition. "We're going to honor golf's traditions, but we're not going to be overly bound by them," he continued. "Wherever there's innovation, we're going to look at it". Until now, the ex-NFL executive's appointment has earned him praise from several pros, including Tiger Woods himself. "Brian's appointment is a win for players and fans," Woods said after his official appointment. And the fans are excited to see what comes next.
