  • The stock market had a banner year in 2023, with the S&P 500 surging 24% to recover nearly all of 2022's losses.

The stock market had a strong year in 2023, with the S&P 500 surging 24% to recover nearly all of the losses inflicted by 2022's brutal bear market.

The index was within 1% of its all-time high on the last trading day of 2023, and some Wall Street strategists suggest the gains might continue into 2024.

While a 24% jump sounds nice, some S&P 500 companies more than quintupled those gains, while others saw disastrous declines.
