It&#8217;s been a roller coaster year for Wall Street as investors revise expectations during a period of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45435725/tariffs-slow-retail-spending-as-producer-prices-post-sharpest-drop-since-2020">rapidly changing policy announcements</a> in the White House. While markets turned bearish in March and April as the Trump Administration threatened tariffs on several U.S. trade partners, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) retraced some of its losses as the administration backed off some of its policy commitments and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45376487/wall-street-edges-higher-as-inflation-cools-nasdaq-100-hits-10-week-highs">economic indicators look promising</a>.
Stephanie Link, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors, is optimistic about the market&#8217;s prospects if tariff concerns can be averted.
&#8220;I think the biggest surprise is that the Atlanta Fed [GDPNow] is at 2.3% in the face of everything,&#8221; Link wrote on Thursday. &#8220;Consumer continues to spend — Walmart is proof of that. Labor market remains solid and inflation is coming down albeit slowly. EPS up 12% is impressive as well. Get through tariffs and we'll start to focus on more positive things — lower taxes and deregulation.&#8221;
Link noted two contrarian plays she is bullish on as 2025 enters its second half. She called Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) her &#8220;favorite stock for 2025&#8221; amid the company&#8217;s turnaround under new leadership. While the Arlington, Virginia-based company&#8217;s shares have fallen from all-time highs due to regulatory woes and safety concerns, its stock is up over 20% in 2025.
Link also highlighted private equity giant KKR &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) as a firm benefiting from several positive trends.
&#8220;Added KKR this past week [with] the stock down 15% ytd and a play on growth, real assets, infrastructure and fee growth,&#8221; Link said.
She noted Quanta Services Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PWR#NYSE">PWR</a>), Eaton Corporation PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) and Rockwell Automation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) as other infrastructure plays.

Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

U.S. stocks traded mixed at midday Wednesday, as investors remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy decision, with Chair Jerome Powell set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45258146/all-eyes-on-powell-betting-markets-reveal-what-the-fed-chair-is-most-likely-to-say-on-wednesday">speak at 2:30 p.m. ET.</a>
Trade developments continued to influence market sentiment. During a Senate hearing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that initial talks with China will begin in Switzerland later this week, though he emphasized they are only preliminary.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) led notable decliners, plunging over 7% after a Bloomberg report indicated an Apple executive's testimony suggested AI may be eroding traditional search market share.
The Dow Jones outperformed, while tech-heavy indexes like the Nasdaq 100 and S&amp;P 500 lagged under pressure from Alphabet&#8217;s sharp decline. Sector performance was positive overall, with modest gains led by financials.
