264 of the S&P 500’s constituents, or a little over 52% of the index, are actually still up in 2025.
The star of the S&P 500 Class of Q1 so far is CVS HealthCVS $65.81 (2.74%), which has jumped 45% since the start of the year, closely followed by Philip Morris InternationalPM $153.14 (-0.58%) and Super Micro, which is doing the absolute bare minimum to remain on the market. Uber also joins the all-star lineup, ahead of Meta, which is the best of the Big Tech stocks, evading the pain of peers Amazon (-7%), Nvidia (-14%), and Tesla (-33%), which are all down. But the one company that’s down deepest in the trenches is UGG and Hoka shoe company DeckersDECK $136.40 (1.67%), which never recovered from getting stomped after its underwhelming Q3 update.
