The U.S. stock market has just completed one of its strongest three-month runs in history, with the S&amp;P 500 soaring 26% between April 9 and July 10, a pace of gains rarely seen. While historical analogues suggest further upside, signs of overheated investor sentiment are starting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">to worry market watchers.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Does History Say About Similar Rallies?</h3>
This is only the sixth time since 1950 that the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) – has gained at least 25% over a three-month stretch. In every previous instance, the index delivered strong returns over the next year.
According to data from Carson Investment Research, the median forward 12-month return following such rallies is 18.5%, and all five historical cases saw positive returns over the next 12 months.
Forward returns over 3 and 6 months also had a 100% success rate, with median gains of 9.7% and 15.1%, respectively.
Yet, it&#8217;s worth noting that short-term pullbacks often occurred: in four out of five previous rallies, the index experienced a mild 1-month decline or pause.
For context, the average 12-month return for all years since 1950 is 9.2%, making these post-surge periods more than twice as strong on average.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fund Managers Grow Aggressively Bullish</h3>
The latest Bank of America Global Fund Manager Survey, released July 15, confirms a dramatic shift in sentiment. 
Fund managers report their most bullish outlook since February 2025, fueled by a &#8220;record surge in risk appetite&#8221; and optimism around profits.
The survey shows:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cash levels have dropped to 3.9%, triggering BofA's contrarian &#8220;sell signal.&#8221;</li>
<li>A net 59% of managers say a recession is unlikely, reversing April&#8217;s 42% who believed one was probable.</li>
<li>86% expect either a soft or no landing, while just 9% forecast a hard landing.</li>
</ul>
These metrics, while bullish, are flashing some red lights. 
BofA described the sentiment as "toppy," and warned that the most vulnerable positions are now in short U.S. dollar, long U.S. tech, and long EU banks — all consensus trades that could unwind if macro conditions shift.
"Greed is always harder to reverse than fear," Bank of America&#8217;s chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Could Derail The Rally?</h3>
Any upside surprises in inflation, earnings disappointments in the second quarter, or sudden spikes in bond yields could pressure this crowded long positioning, especially in tech and European banks, according to the survey. 
The S&amp;P 500's explosive 26% rally over three months puts it in rare historical records, and the data suggests more gains could lie ahead. 
Every similar surge since 1950 delivered positive returns over the following year, with median 12-month gains clocking in at 18.5% — more than double the historical average.
The rally has been powerful, and momentum is still on the bulls' side. But if inflation runs hot, earnings disappoint, or bond yields climb, the &#8220;toppy&#8221; sentiment flagged by Bank of America could quickly turn from tailwind to trap.

Oppenheimer Maintains Outperform on Monolithic Power Systems, Raises Price Target to $800

Tesla, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) top sales leader in North America has left the company, marking another significant executive exit as the automaker grapples with a sharp <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">decline in sales. </a>
The Details: Troy Jones, who served as vice president of sales, service and delivery in Tesla's largest market, departed after a 15-year tenure, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-troy-jones-north-american-sales-leaves-b2ac616d">according</a> to the Wall Street Journal.
This latest executive departure follows the recent exit of Omead Afshar, a close advisor to CEO Elon Musk. Afshar, who was promoted less than a year ago to oversee all sales and manufacturing operations in North America and Europe, left the company less than a month ago.

Other notable departures include Jenna Ferrua, Tesla's director of human resources for North America, who left in June. 
Earlier in the year, Milan Kovac, a vice president of engineering responsible for the development of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot, also exited the company. The Optimus project is a key part of Musk's vision to transform Tesla into a leader in robotics and artificial intelligence.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Company Response and Recent Moves</h1>
To counteract falling sales and increased competition, Tesla has introduced several new vehicle updates and offered low-cost financing options to attract buyers. Recent product launches include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A refreshed Model Y midsize SUV in March</li>
<li>A more affordable, simplified version of the Cybertruck in April</li>
<li>Updated versions of the Model S and Model X luxury vehicles in June</li>
</ul>
Despite concerns from Wall Street about declining sales and shrinking profit margins, Tesla's leadership has emphasized the long-term potential of its investments in autonomous driving technology — branded as Full Self-Driving — and the Optimus robot.
Why It Matters: Tesla recorded a 9.09% year-over-year increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46239731/elon-musks-tesla-sales-surge-3-7-in-china-as-other-markets-cool">Model Y sales</a> in China during June, reflecting a strong rebound that aligned with the company's better-than-expected second-quarter deliveries. 
According to data from CnEVPost, Tesla sold 44,848 Model Y units in China during the month, recovering from two consecutive months of declining sales. 
Tesla also experienced growth in the U.K. market, where it saw a 12% increase in sales as the company delivered 7,189 vehicles during the second quarter of 2025.
This comes as Musk assumed direct oversight of Tesla&#8217;s sales operations in Europe and the U.S. following the departure of Afshar.

Tesla's Sales Turmoil Deepens With North America Sales Chief's Exit

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is expected to post a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tsmc" rel="noreferrer noopener">52% jump in</a> second-quarter 2025 profit, driven by booming AI demand. However, it faces pressure from potential U.S. tariffs and a sharply stronger Taiwan dollar.
IDC&#8217;s group VP Mario Morales told Reuters the foundry sector could grow 17–18% in 2025, but Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s moat may push its sales growth closer to 30%.
According to LSEG SmartEstimate, the company is forecast to report 377.4 billion New Taiwan dollars ($12.9 billion) in net profit for the quarter. If it exceeds 374.68 billion New Taiwan dollars, that would mark its highest-ever quarterly profit and its sixth straight quarter of earnings growth.

Taiwan Semiconductor has already guided for a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46338109/tsmc-reports-solid-half-year-revenue-june-sees-monthly-decline" rel="noreferrer noopener">38.6% jump in</a> second-quarter revenue.
The stock traded higher on Tuesday in solidarity with its semiconductor peers after reports indicated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46412125/trumps-latest-move-on-ai-and-china-propels-chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Trump administration&#8217;s plans</a> to unveil a $70 billion tech and energy investment plan in Pennsylvania and that the U.S. lifted chip export curbs to China.
TSMC stock surged nearly 20% year-to-date, topping the PHLX Semiconductor Index&#8217;s 16% as a key supplier of Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Profit Headwinds</h2>
However, the company faces external headwinds. In April, the U.S. threatened Taiwan with a 32% reciprocal tariff, and President Donald Trump recently indicated new chip tariffs could arrive soon.
On the currency front, the Taiwan dollar has strengthened 12% against the U.S. dollar this year. Taiwan Semiconductor has noted that a 1% rise in the Taiwan dollar typically reduces its gross margin by 0.4 percentage points.
On the management front, Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46387337/taiwan-semiconductors-top-supply-chain-executive-exits" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced Friday that</a> Vanessa Lee, head of materials management, resigned for personal reasons. Senior Vice President and Deputy Co-COO Cliff Hou will immediately assume leadership of his materials management division.
Lee joined Taiwan Semiconductor in 2022 and became vice president in August 2023. She developed forecasting systems and supply chain performance tools, earning credit for helping the chipmaker manage disruptions during the 2020 pandemic.
In March, the company committed $100 billion to expand U.S. operations on top of the $65 billion already pledged for three chip plants in Arizona, announced alongside Trump at the White House.
Taiwan Semiconductor will report second-quarter earnings Thursday and issue third-quarter guidance.
Price Action:&nbsp;TSM stock is trading higher by 3.30% to $236.22 at last check Tuesday.
