The S&P 500 index is close to its all-time highs, but the majority of its stocks are underperforming, with the median stock 16% below its own peak and 78% in correction territory. This divergence is due to gains being driven by a small number of large-cap stocks, while many sectors sensitive to interest rates, like Utilities and Real Estate, are struggling.
