It's simply a matter of time before the current bull rally broadens beyond technology stocks, according to John Stoltzfus, chief market strategist at Oppenheimer. The technology sector has dominated the market runup this year, with the S & P 500 tech group outpacing all others by soaring 28% in 2024. But as the Federal Reserve begins to eventually cut interest rates, Stoltzfus said in an interview with CNBC that the tide will turn. Stoltzfus' year-end S & P 500 target of 5,500 is higher than at least six other forecasts on Wall Street, according to the CNBC Pro Market Strategist Survey. Meanwhile, the market is also due to broaden as investors turn from high stock valuations and diversify thier holdings.

☆ These stocks offer growth at a reasonable price with the second half of 2024 around the corner
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-28 | by ( Lisa Kailai Han | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

It's tough to find growth stocks selling at a reasonable valuation, but searching for companies whose bottom lines are still expanding but not too richly priced could give investors a leg up entering the second half of the year. With the S & P 500 ahead by 15% in the first half alone and the S & P and Nasdaq Composite both near all-time highs, now might be the time for investors to adjust their portfolios accordingly. With that in mind, one time-tested strategy to consider is screening for stocks that offer growth at a reasonable price, or GARP, combining tenets from both value and growth investing. CNBC Pro recently screened for stocks in the S & P 500 that fit the GARP approach. With a year-to-date rally of 11%, electric company Emerson Electric was also on the list of GARP stocks.

Apple 's commitment to privacy could soon pay off by giving it a leg up over its competitors, according to Rosenblatt. That's because Apple, unlike AI predecessors, has put privacy front and center as part of its AI marketing push and architecture," Crockett wrote. "Apple laid out what it called a Private Cloud Compute architecture that keeps personal information on personal devices, and does not allow non-permissioned release of that information to anyone else, including Apple and third party LLMs," he added. An additional advantage for Apple comes from its AI approach, which allows the firm some immunity from cost pressures at hyperscalers.
