Risk sentiment returned to Wall Street on Friday, revitalized by softer-than-expected November inflation data leading to a strong market rebound following the selloff triggered by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42615908/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-falls-more-than-expected-markets-breathe-sigh-of-relief">Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent meeting.</a>
The Personal Consumption Expenditure price index rose 2.4% year-over-year in November, falling short of the 2.5% increase forecasted. The core PCE, a key gauge closely watched by the Fed, also missed expectations, rising 2.8% compared to the anticipated 2.9%.
By midday Friday, all major indices were in rally mode, with broad-based gains across sectors. In the S&amp;P 500, 480 companies traded higher, and every sector advanced as investors welcomed the reprieve in inflationary pressures.
The real estate sector led the charge, rebounding sharply after being hit hardest in the aftermath of the Fed meeting. Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 also posted robust gains, powered by a strong recovery in regional banks.
The travel industry soared, driven by upbeat earnings and optimistic guidance from Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>), which fueled enthusiasm across the sector. The cruise line rose by 6%, eyeing the highest close since October 2021. 
In the bond market, yields dropped by approximately 5 basis points across the curve, boosting Treasury prices. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) gained nearly 1%, recovering some ground after a 3% slide over the previous two sessions. The dollar softened, declining 0.6%, while gold gained over 1%. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) attracted dip buyers after plunging to $92,118. Although the cryptocurrency pared its daily losses, it remains on track for its worst weekly performance in four months.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) skyrocketed more than 20% during Friday morning trading, hitting all-time highs after its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings blew <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42480891/broadcom-reports-four-fold-increase-in-ai-chips-revenue-expects-continued-momentum-boasts-of-cost-reduction-in-vmware-after-acquisition-heres-what-happened">past Wall Street estimates. </a>
The semiconductor giant's growth narrative is now turbocharged by a massive artificial intelligence (AI) opportunity, with analysts projecting a multibillion-dollar windfall in the years ahead.
The stock&#8217;s surge catapulted Broadcom into the exclusive trillion-dollar market cap club, placing it as the eighth-largest publicly traded company, just behind Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). 
For context, the trillion-dollar elite is rarefied territory, shared only by the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech giants.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Analysts Love Broadcom</h3>
Bank of America&#8217;s analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Broadcom following the quarterly report, boosting the 12-month price target from $215 to $250 and hinting at a potential 15% upside from current levels.
Arya&#8217;s optimism stems from three main drivers:
<ol>
<li>AI&#8217;s Expanding Footprint: Broadcom&#8217;s custom AI chips (ASICs) now serve five major customers, up from three previously. The company's AI-related revenue could soar to a served available market of $60–$90 billion by 2027—up from an estimated $15–$20 billion in 2023.</li>
<li>Apple's Steady Demand: Broadcom is expected to maintain its strong relationship with Apple, despite prior concerns about declining content orders.</li>
<li>Robust Earnings Growth: Analysts forecast a 15% sales growth and a 20% adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) growth trajectory through 2026, underpinned by Broadcom&#8217;s diversified portfolio spanning silicon and infrastructure software.</li>
</ol>
"Broadcom's AI-driven growth potential and diversified base position it as one of the best opportunities in the chip sector," Arya said in a note, justifying their upward revision of earnings per share in fiscal year 2025 and 2026 by 5% and 3%, respectively.

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) is charting a bold course for growth through cruise line expansion and digital content integration, marking a significant pivot in its business strategy amid the changing entertainment landscape.
What Happened: The entertainment giant plans to invest approximately $12 billion in its cruise business over the next decade, aiming to more than double its fleet from six to 13 ships by 2031. The expansion comes as Disney&#8217;s newest vessel, the Disney Treasure, recently made its debut in New York Harbor, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/hospitality/disney-cruises-expansion-new-ships-76103f9f?mod=hp_lead_pos6">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal on Sunday.
&#8220;Given the fact that we are still a relatively small player and we see this strong demand, it&#8217;s actually the best time to invest in this business,&#8221; said Thomas Mazloum, head of Disney&#8217;s cruise division, noting that Disney currently holds only 5% of the Caribbean market and 2.5% globally.
The cruise expansion coincides with Disney&#8217;s digital transformation. The company recently announced the integration of ESPN into Disney+, laying the groundwork for ESPN&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42330923/espn-lands-on-disney-in-major-content-fusion-heres-what-it-actually-means">direct-to-consumer service</a> launch in Fall 2025. This move comes as Disney&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue reached $22.57 billion, exceeding analyst expectations.

Why It Matters: Disney&#8217;s content strategy is showing promise, with &#8220;Moana 2&#8221; breaking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42258604/ross-gerber-cheers-disneys-comeback-as-moana-2-smashes-thanksgiving-box-office-with-221m-leading-a-420m-weekend-blowout">Thanksgiving box office records</a> with $221 million in earnings. This success comes as the company settles a significant $43.25 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42205763/disney-reaches-43m-settlement-in-gender-pay-discrimination-lawsuit-women-can-expect-equitable-treatment-moving-forward">gender pay discrimination lawsuit</a>, demonstrating corporate responsibility alongside business growth.
Disney&#8217;s premium cruise pricing strategy is reflected in a four-day Bahamas cruise, starting at $7,692 for a family of four, more than double the rates of competitor Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>). Consumer satisfaction backs this approach, with 82% of Disney cruise passengers expressing intent to return.
Disney&#8217;s focus on international markets is evident in its upcoming Disney Adventure ship, set to launch in Singapore next year. This 6,700-passenger vessel targets affluent Asian travelers, marking Disney&#8217;s first cruise service in the region.
Price Action: Walt Disney stock closed at $116.73 on Friday, up 0.20% for the day, before slipping 0.03% in after-hours trading; the stock has gained 28.68% year-to-date.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DIS/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, Walt Disney. has a consensus price target of $121.36, with a high of $140 and a low of $76. The latest analyst ratings from Jefferies, Needham, and Evercore ISI Group set an average target of $128, implying a 9.68% upside.

The Santa Rally refers to a seasonal stock market trend where equities historically see stronger gains during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269611/dollar-enters-its-most-bearish-month-of-the-year-could-december-2024-be-any-different">final stretch of December. </a>
This phenomenon, often fueled by holiday cheer, year-end portfolio rebalancing, and investor optimism, has been a recurring pattern for decades.
 But what makes December stand out, and which stocks have historically outperformed during this period? 
Let's dig into the numbers.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">December: A Seasonal Sweet Spot For Stocks</h3>
After a strong rally in November, with the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – rallying 6%, &#8220;momentum could continue for stocks as historically it has been a good month for stock market seasonals,&#8221; said George Smith, portfolio strategist at LPL Financials. 
Since 1950, December ranks as the second-best month for the S&amp;P 500, delivering an average return of 1.6%. Only November performs better, with a historical average of 1.8%. 
Smith also highlighted that the second half of December has typically delivered the lion's share of these gains, generating the so-called &#8220;Santa Rally&#8221; effect. 
Historically, stocks tend to stall or even decline slightly during the first half of the month before momentum builds around mid-December. Data suggests that the upward trajectory starts gaining steam near the 11th trading day of the month and accelerates as Christmas approaches.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top 10 S&amp;P 500 Stocks With Strong Christmas Seasonality</h3>
For investors looking to capitalize on the Santa Rally, certain stocks have a history of delivering outsized gains in the back half of December. 
Looking back at the last 20 years of data, here are the top 10 S&amp;P 500 stocks that have historically shown the strongest average returns between Dec. 12 and Dec. 31:

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Harri U Kulovaara Executes Sell Order: Offloads $763K In Royal Caribbean Gr Stock

Royal Caribbean Cruises stock has surged to an all-time high in November. Investors anticipate a favorable economic environment for the travel and leisure industry.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) stock has surged to an all-time high of $238.10 in November following Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>, as investors anticipate a favorable economic environment for the travel and leisure industry. 
Trump's pro-business policies, including proposed tax cuts for individuals and corporations, could increase disposable income for consumers, potentially driving a surge in discretionary spending on cruises and vacations.
What To Know: Trump's emphasis on deregulation is also seen as a positive for Royal Caribbean. Easing restrictions on the travel industry, particularly those introduced during the pandemic, could streamline operations and reduce compliance costs. This regulatory flexibility may help the cruise operator expand routes and develop new destinations, enhancing its competitive edge.

Additionally, Trump's stance on energy production could benefit Royal Caribbean by keeping fuel prices stable or even reducing them. With fuel being a significant operating expense for cruise lines, lower energy costs could directly improve Royal Caribbean's profit margins.
The potential rollback of environmental regulations may also have implications for Royal Caribbean's fleet upgrades. While the company has committed to sustainability initiatives, relaxed emissions standards could reduce the urgency and cost of compliance, freeing up resources for growth and marketing.
Furthermore, Trump's broader economic policies, including infrastructure investments, could indirectly benefit Royal Caribbean by enhancing port facilities and boosting international trade and travel. If Trump's administration fosters stronger consumer confidence and economic growth, Royal Caribbean could capitalize on the demand for leisure travel.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RCL Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Royal Caribbean&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RCL has a 52-week high of $238.10 and a 52-week low of $102.77.

브로드컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)는 금요일 거래에서 20% 이상 급등하며 사상 최고가를 기록했다. 이는 4분기 실적이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42480891/broadcom-reports-four-fold-increase-in-ai-chips-revenue-expects-continued-momentum-boasts-of-cost-reduction-in-vmware-after-acquisition-heres-what-happened" target="_blank" rel="noopener">월가의 예상치를 크게 웃돌았기</a> 때문이다.
이 반도체 대기업의 성장 이야기는 이제 대규모 인공지능(AI) 기회에 의해 가속화되고 있으며, 애널리스트들은 향후 수년간 수십억 달러의 막대한 수익이 예상된다고 전망하고 있다.
주가의 급등으로 브로드컴은 1조 달러 시장 가치 클럽에 진입하게 되었으며, 이는 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)에 이어 여덟 번째로 큰 상장 기업으로 자리잡았다.
참고로, 1조 달러 기업은 &#8220;매그니피센트 세븐&#8221; 기술 대기업들만이 공유하는 희귀한 영역이다.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">애널리스트들이 브로드컴을 좋아하는 이유</h3>
뱅크 오브 아메리카의 애널리스트 비벡 아리야(Vivek Arya)는 분기 보고서를 바탕으로 브로드컴에 대한 &#8220;매수&#8221; 등급을 재확인하며, 12개월 가격 목표를 215달러에서 250달러로 상향 조정하고 현재 수준에서 15%의 잠재적 상승 여력을 시사했다.
아리야의 낙관주의는 세 가지 주요 요인에 기반한다:
<ol>
<li>AI의 확장: 브로드컴의 맞춤형 AI 칩(ASICs)는 이제 주요 고객이 다섯 명으로 증가했으며, AI 관련 매출은 2023년 150억~200억 달러에서 2027년에는 600억~900억 달러의 가용 시장으로 급증할 것으로 예상된다.</li>
<li>애플의 지속적인 수요: 브로드컴은 애플과의 강력한 관계를 유지할 것으로 예상되며, 이는 콘텐츠 주문 감소에 대한 우려에도 불구하고 계속된다.</li>
<li>견고한 실적 성장: 애널리스트들은 2026년까지 15%의 매출 성장과 20%의 조정 후 주당 순이익(EPS) 성장 경로를 예측하고 있으며, 이는 브로드컴의 실리콘 및 인프라 소프트웨어에 걸친 다양한 포트폴리오에 의해 뒷받침된다.</li>
</ol>
&#8220;브로드컴의 AI 주도 성장 잠재력과 다양한 기반은 반도체 부문에서 최고의 기회 중 하나로 자리 잡게 한다&#8221;고 아리야가 언급하며, 2025년 및 2026년 회계연도 주당 순이익 예측치를 각각 5% 및 3% 상향 조정한 이유를 설명했다.
주가 움직임: 브로드컴의 주식은 금요일 24.43% 급등한 224.80달러에 마감되었다.

월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)는 크루즈 라인 확장과 디지털 콘텐츠 통합을 통해 대담한 성장 경로를 계획하고 있으며, 엔터테인먼트 환경의 변화 속에서 비즈니스 전략의 중요한 전환점을 맞이하고 있다.
무슨 일 있었나: 엔터테인먼트 대기업 디즈니는 향후 10년간 크루즈 사업에 약 120억 달러를 투자할 계획이며, 2031년까지 크루즈 선단을 6척에서 13척으로 두 배 이상 늘리는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 이러한 확장은 최근 디즈니의 최신 선박인 디즈니 트레저(Disney Treasure)가 뉴욕항에 데뷔하면서 이루어졌다고 월스트리트저널이 일요일에 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/hospitality/disney-cruises-expansion-new-ships-76103f9f?mod=hp_lead_pos6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도했다</a>.
디즈니 크루즈 사업부 책임자 토마스 마즈룸(Thomas Mazloum)은 디즈니가 현재 카리브해 시장의 5%, 전 세계 시장의 2.5%만을 점유하고 있다는 점을 지적하며 "우리가 여전히 상대적으로 작은 업체라는 사실과 강력한 수요를 고려할 때 지금이 이 사업에 투자하기 가장 좋은 시기"라고 말했다.
크루즈 사업 확장은 디즈니의 디지털 혁신과 맞물려 있다. 디즈니는 최근 ESPN을 디즈니플러스(Disney+)에 통합하여 2025년 가을에 출시할 ESPN의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42330923/espn-lands-on-disney-in-major-content-fusion-heres-what-it-actually-means" target="_blank" rel="noopener">소비자 직접 판매 서비스</a> 출시를 위한 기반을 마련했다고 발표했다. 이러한 움직임은 디즈니의 4분기 매출이 225억 7,000만 달러에 달해 애널리스트의 예상을 뛰어넘은 가운데 나온 것이다.

중요한 이유: 영화 &#8216;모아나 2&#8217;가 2억 2,100만 달러의 수익을 올리며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42258604/ross-gerber-cheers-disneys-comeback-as-moana-2-smashes-thanksgiving-box-office-with-221m-leading-a-420m-weekend-blowout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">추수감사절 박스오피스 기록</a>을 경신하는 등 디즈니의 콘텐츠 전략이 가능성을 보이고 있다. 이러한 성공은 디즈니가 4,325만 달러에 달하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42205763/disney-reaches-43m-settlement-in-gender-pay-discrimination-lawsuit-women-can-expect-equitable-treatment-moving-forward" target="_blank" rel="noopener">성 임금 차별 소송</a>에 합의하면서 비즈니스 성장과 함께 기업의 책임을 다하는 모습을 보여주었다.
디즈니의 프리미엄 크루즈 가격 전략은 4인 가족 기준 7,692달러부터 시작하는 바하마 4일 크루즈 요금에 반영되어 있으며, 이는 경쟁사인 로얄 캐리비안 크루즈의 요금보다 두 배 이상 높은 가격이다. 하지만 소비자 만족도는 82%의 디즈니 크루즈 승객이 재탑승 의사를 표명하여 이러한 접근 방식을 뒷받침한다.
해외 시장에 대한 디즈니의 집중은 내년 싱가포르에서 출시될 예정인 디즈니 어드벤처 선박에서도 잘 드러난다. 6,700명의 승객을 수용할 수 있는 이 선박은 부유한 아시아 여행객을 대상으로 하며, 디즈니의 아시아 지역 첫 크루즈 서비스다.
월트 디즈니 주가 움직임: 주가는 금요일에 0.20% 상승한 116.73달러로 마감한 후 시간외 거래에서 0.03% 하락했다. 그리고 올해 들어 28.68% 상승했다.
월트 디즈니의 컨센서스 목표주가는 121.36달러이며, 최고가는 140달러, 최저가는 76달러다. 제프리스, 니덤, 에버코어 ISI의 애널리스트들이 최근 제시한 평균 목표주가는 128달러로 9.68%의 상승 여력을 시사한다.

산타 랠리는 주식 시장의 계절적 트렌드를 나타내며, 역사적으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269611/dollar-enters-its-most-bearish-month-of-the-year-could-december-2024-be-any-different" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">마지막 12월</a>에 주식들이 더 강한 상승세를 보이는 현상이다. 이는 연말 휴가의 기쁨, 연말 포트폴리오 재조정 및 투자자 낙관주의 등에 의해 촉발되는 경우가 많으며, 수십 년에 걸쳐 반복되는 패턴이다.
그렇다면 12월이 특별한 이유는 무엇일까? 그리고 어떤 주식들이 역사적으로 이 기간 동안 더 높은 성과를 보였을까?
숫자를 살펴보자.
<h3>12월: 주식에 대한 계절적 호재</h3>
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500이 6% 상승하면서 11월에 강세를 보인 후 &#8220;역사적으로 주식 시장 시즌에 좋은 달이었기 때문에 주식의 모멘텀은 계속될 수 있다&#8221;고 LPL 파이낸셜의 포트폴리오 전략가인 조지 스미스(George Smith)가 말했다.
1950년 이후로 12월은 S&amp;P 500 지수에 있어 두 번째로 좋은 달로, 평균 1.6%의 수익률을 기록했다. 오직 11월만이 더 나은 성과를 보였으며, 역사적인 평균은 1.8%이다.
스미스는 또한 12월 하반기가 이러한 상승폭의 대부분을 차지하며, 소위 &#8216;산타 랠리&#8217; 효과를 만들어낸다고 강조했다.
역사적으로 주식들은 월초에 정체되거나 약간 하락세를 보이다가, 12월 중순 경부터 상승세가 강화되고, 크리스마스가 다가오면서 가속화되는 경향이 있다. 데이터에 따르면 이러한 상승세는 12월의 11번째 거래일 근처에서 시작되어 크리스마스가 가까워질수록 빨라진다.
<h3>크리스마스 시즌 성과가 우수한 S&amp;P 500 주식 상위 10</h3>
산타 랠리를 활용하고자 하는 투자자들을 위해, 특정 주식들이 12월 하반기에 비상한 수익률을 기록해왔다.
지난 20년간의 데이터를 살펴본 결과, 12월 12일부터 31일까지 평균 수익률이 가장 높았던 S&amp;P 500 주식 상위 10은 다음과 같다:
