U.S. stocks rose Friday to turn what would have been one of the market’s worst weeks of the year into just a pretty bad one. The S&P 500 rallied 1.1% for its best day in six weeks and shaved its loss for the week down to 2%.

Micron reported a strong set of financial results for its fiscal 2025 first quarter (ended Nov. 28) on Wednesday, Dec. 18, but its stock plunged 12% in after-hours trading. However, the Nasdaq-100 technology index sank 3.6% on the day, its second-worst drop in 2024 so far, so it was a bad day for the stock market overall.

After back-to-back years of more than 20% returns for the S&P 500, what's in store for 2025? Most on Wall Street say more gains.
