Did you miss the winners in the S&P500 in 2024?
Did you miss the giant winners in the S&P500 this year like Nvidia (NVDA) and Eli Lilly (LLY)? Don’t worry: analysts think you’ll get another chance in 2025. Eight S&P 500 stocks that rose 30% or more in 2024 are expected to rise at least 20% this year, says an Investors Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and Market Surge. And if that comes to pass, it would be a huge relief given the rising fear that THE S&P 500 is overvalued. “Enjoy the party, but beware the hangover,” says a report from the Wells Fargo Investment Institute.
Can Nvidia do it again?
If there was one S&P 500 stock everyone wanted to own in 2024, it was Nvidia. The AI master’s shares are up 182%, making it one of the best performers in the S&P 500 this year. Nvidia has an RS rating of 94. But incredibly, analysts are already calling for another good year. The stock is seen rising 23.7% over the next 12 months. Revenue is slated to rise 127% in 2025 and 50% in 2026.
Eli Lilly
Eli Lilly, thanks to its diabetes drug that also takes on obesity, is up 36.6% in 2024. It easily tops the S&P 500. Yet analysts believe the company’s stock will rise another 23.6% over the next 12 months. That would be a strong boost for the company with a composite rating of 77. Analysts predict the company’s adjusted earnings per share will rise 108% in 2024r and another 72% in 2025. Not all of 2024’s top S&P 500 stocks will return to the winner’s circle. But analysts believe they have picked out those that can.
