William Blair Initiates Coverage On Vigil Neuroscience with Outperform Rating

The stock market&#8217;s remarkable performance in 2024, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42308304/sp-500-hits-another-high-as-apple-tops-242-for-the-first-time-fear-index-remains-in-greed-zone">S&amp;P 500 hitting 54 all-time highs</a>, may not be a positive indicator for the future, according to analysts.
What Happened: The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s record-breaking run in 2024, fueled by factors such as Fed rate cuts, enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, and Donald Trump&#8217;s pro-market policies, has been impressive. However, this trend could be a cause for concern, as historically, years with numerous record highs have been followed by poor stock performance, analysts at Ned Davis Research said in a Monday note.
Historical data since 1928 shows that in years when the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;hit more than 35 record&nbsp;highs, the median gain for&nbsp;the index the following year was a mere 5.8%, falling short of the long-term average of 8%. In years with&nbsp;at least 50 record highs,&nbsp;the median return&nbsp;was -6% the following year.
&#8220;The obvious challenge to momentum studies is that stocks do not go up forever,&#8221; strategists said. 
&#8220;Perhaps AI will drive another productivity and profit boom that will keep inflation and Fed policy benign. History suggests that is the exception rather than the rule.&#8221;

There have been exceptions to this trend, such as in 1996 when the S&amp;P 500 returned 20% despite 77 record highs the previous year. However, these gains were largely attributed to the dot-com productivity boom. &#8220;The&nbsp;obvious challenge to momentum studies&nbsp;is that stocks do not&nbsp;go up forever,&#8221; the strategists pointed out.
Other technical indicators also suggest a weaker 2025, with the majority of the stock market&#8217;s gains being concentrated among a handful of companies.
&#8220;Continued narrowing would set the stock market up for a tougher 2025,&#8221; the strategists warned.
Why It Matters: Despite this warning, some analysts remain optimistic about the stock market&#8217;s future.&nbsp;Bank of America analysts&nbsp;have predicted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42276232/bank-of-america-eyes-sp-500-at-6666-in-2025-we-are-expecting-another-good-year-for-equities">a positive outlook for stocks in 2025</a>, with the S&amp;P 500 Index expected to reach 6,666 by the end of 2025, marking a 10% increase from current levels. This forecast is based on confidence in productivity gains, resilient corporate earnings, and strategic sector rotation.
Furthermore, Ark Invest&#8217;s Cathie Wood has expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42262916/ark-invests-cathie-wood-says-stock-market-will-broaden-out-under-trump-but-growth-wont-be-linear-nothing-goes-up-in-a-straight-line">her positive outlook</a> for the stock market under President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s administration. She believes that the market is already starting to anticipate a shift, indicating potential future growth.
Despite a few dips, the equity markets have been trading higher than the pre-election levels after President-elect Trump&#8217;s victory.
The Dow Jones recorded a gain of 7.5% for November. The S&amp;P 500, reflected in the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) gained 5.6% last month. The Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which follows the tech-heavy Nasdaq, has posted returns close to 6%.
Meanwhile, the Dow and S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260445/dow-sp-record-best-month-of-year-investor-sentiment-improves-fear-greed-index-remains-in-greed-zone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recorded their best months</a> of the year in November, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly facing a delay in its ambitious smart home vision, with a key product now expected to launch in 2025.
What Happened: On Wednesday, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared insights indicating that Apple's display-equipped HomePod, a key component of Cupertino&#8217;s strategy, has faced multiple production delays.
According to Kuo, the HomePod&#8217;s mass production was initially set for 2024 but has been postponed to after WWDC 2025, primarily due to software development challenges.&nbsp;
The new HomePod is expected to feature an A18 processor, a 6–7 inch display, and support for Apple Intelligence.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42286671/apples-foldable-iphone-could-spark-smartphone-market-revival-in-2026-says-expert?itm_source=parsely-api">Apple&#8217;s Foldable iPhone Could Spark Smartphone Market Revival In 2026, Says Expert</a>
He suggested that this product will mark a strategic shift in Apple&#8217;s HomePod lineup, similar to how the Apple Watch evolved from an iPhone accessory to a health management device.
"The display-equipped HomePod is expected to ship around 500,000 units in 2H25. If the market response is positive, this product's annual shipments could reach the million-unit level," Kuo predicted.

According to Kuo, Apple may integrate this smart camera and HomePod "with its existing ecosystem and HomeKit to deliver a seamless smart home experience."
In October, Apple reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41666494/apple-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-installed-base-hits-new-highs-iphone-sales-rise-as-apple-in">fourth-quarter revenue</a> of $94.9 billion, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">analysts&#8217; projections</a> of $94.56 billion.

Apple's consensus price target is $242.26 from 31 analysts, with the highest at $300 set by Wedbush on Nov. 29. Latest ratings from Wedbush, Morgan Stanley, and Maxim Group average $262.67, suggesting an 8.09% upside.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) researcher Troy Teslike said on Tuesday that while the EV giant&#8217;s sales in China are slated to rise this year as compared to the last, sales in the U.S. and Europe will drop, weighing down on the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42081589/tesla-electric-offers-unlimited-overnight-charging-for-just-5-a-month-as-ev-giant-races-toward-5">overall global deliveries</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;There is no need for celebrations over the China numbers when sales are down in the U.S. and Europe,&#8221; Teslike said. 
While Tesla&#8217;s sales in China are expected to increase by over 48,000 units, sales in the U.S. and Europe are expected to drop by over 30,000 units, Teslike said.
Cybertruck is unlikely to buoy overall sales in the U.S. given that the company is planning a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42283708/tesla-gives-cybertruck-production-line-workers-three-days-off-report">three-day halt in production</a> this month owing to too much inventory, he noted.

Why It Matters: For the full year 2023, Tesla delivered 1,808,581 vehicles around the globe. To mark a growth over last year, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41443856/tesla-offers-discounts-of-up-to-4k-on-select-model-3-y-vehicles-as-it-looks-to-avert-1st-ever-declin">has to deliver at least 514,926 vehicles</a> in the three months through the end of December.
Tesla has never managed to deliver over 500,000 EVs in a quarter to date, making this an ambitious target.
In the third quarter, Tesla reported deliveries of 462,890 vehicles, up 6.4% year-over-year and up 4.3% quarter-over-quarter.
Deliveries fell 8.5% year-on-year in the first quarter and by 4.8% in the second quarter.
According to Teslike, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42106067/tesla-registrations-drop-by-over-20-in-october-in-eu-possibly-hindering-its-2024-global-ev-delivery-target" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">low sales in Europe</a> will likely pull down Tesla&#8217;s global delivery numbers despite a rise in China.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $351.42 on Tuesday, down 1.6% for the day. Year-to-date, Tesla&#8217;s shares have risen 41.5%, according to Benzinga Pro data.
Overall, analysts have a consensus rating of &#8220;Buy&#8221; on the Tesla stock, with the highest price target being $411. The most recent analyst ratings by Roth MKM, Stifel, and UBS have an average price target of $339, implying a 3.5% downside.

This has allowed even smaller retailers to gain visibility, boosting their sales and market presence.
