The stock market has had a very good 2025. With just a few trading days left in the year, the S&P 500 index has risen about 17% (as of Dec. 22), which is pretty strong considering the average annual gain for that index is about 10%.

What are these sectors’ prospects for the new year? Can they continue to lead the pack through 2026?
