SPY bullish call by Meet Kevin

SPYBullunverifiable

“I have made the argument that the end of 2026 especially post midterms sees the highest increase in stock prices.”

Thesis at the time

Mixed

Kevin expects the strongest stock market gains through the end of 2026, especially post-midterms, but anticipates more resistance and a harder environment in 2027, prompting a shift toward lower-beta, quality cash-flow businesses. He partially agrees with a Wells Fargo strategist's caution on hardware/capex but pushes back on the idea that the broader index will crash.

Key arguments

Post-midterm seasonality historically favors stock price increases into year-end 2026
Expects increased resistance and a harder market in 2027
Recommends reducing beta and rotating into quality, cash-flow generating businesses
Notes AI-related exposure makes up roughly 38-50% of the S&P 500, a systemic risk

Counter-arguments acknowledged

Wells Fargo strategist warns capex could peak in 2027 and pressure semiconductor valuations, with index-level effects showing up later in 2027
