These were the 10 best-performing S&P 500 stocks in 2024
The stock market had a strong year in 2024, with the
S&P 500
surging about 23% to record highs, extending the strong gains seen in 2023.
It’s the first time the index posted back-to-back annual returns of more than 20% since the late 1990s.
The S&P 500 finished the year within 4% of its all-time high, and most Wall Street strategists
expect the gains to continue into 2025.
While a 23% jump sounds nice, some S&P 500 companies more than quintupled those gains.
