What a year for the stock market! Not a bad one -- as of the latest look, the S 500 is actually on track to log a 2025 gain of nearly 20%.
It's just been a wild (and sometimes confusing) year, led by artificial intelligence (AI) powerhouses like Nvidia, while stalwarts like (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon have lagged. International trade tensions and lingering inflation have made things even more difficult for investors.
The dust is starting to settle, though, revealing which names are likely to be better prospects than others in the year ahead.
