S&P 500 at 7,473.47 as Investors Trim Winners Ahead of Year-End

On May 24, 2026, two Motley Fool articles urged investors to conduct midyear portfolio reviews and rebalance ahead of Dec. 31 tax deadlines. With the S&P 500 quoted at 7,473.47, guidance highlighted outsized gains in Nvidia (+218.9%) and Meta (+91.8%) versus the index (+33.2%), warning that large winners like Alphabet can skew allocations. Recommendations include harvesting losses (NuScale -50%), maintaining dry powder as Berkshire has done with nearly $400 billion in cash, and redeploying into resilient names such as Procter & Gamble while Microsoft trades at a 36.1 P/E. The coordinated advice is expected to generate selling pressure on headline tech names and steady inflows into defensive and broad-market products.
