The Takeaway: When high-quality stocks take the lead, it means the rally has real substance.
This isn’t about hype or speculative moonshots.
SPHQ tracks 100 S&P 500 names with strong profits, low debt, and clean balance sheets — and they’re breaking out.
Names like Visa, Mastercard, Intuit, ADP, and Paychex are all hitting all-time highs.
These aren’t flashy trades — they’re consistent leaders.
That kind of strength signals depth, not dazzle.
It also marks a shift in psychology.
Early risk-on phases start with junky momentum. Then comes value and cyclicals. But when quality takes over, it’s often the most durable stage. Investors are bullish — just smarter about where they’re putting capital.
This isn’t a FOMO rally. It’s conviction backed by fundamentals.
So while headlines chase noise, the smart money is already rotating into strength.
What’s leading in your portfolio — hype or quality?
