Art Hogan’s barbell trade for U.S. stocks: stay with Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft, add financials, industrials and healthcare

Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, used a recent TheStreet podcast to lay out what he sees as the right playbook for the next pullback in U.S. equities. His answer was not to abandon technology, but to rebalance it. Hogan said investors whose Nvidia positions have grown sharply should consider trimming oversized tech exposure and shifting part of those gains into three sectors he believes are set up to outperform: industrials, financials and healthcare. He said the second quarter could mark the first time in five quarters that all 11 S&P 500 sectors post positive earnings growth. Hogan kept his official year-end target for the S&P 500 at 7,800 and said the index could reach 8,000 if this earnings season brings broad guidance upgrades and higher full-year EPS expectations. On the tech side, he named Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia as his top picks, while warning against trying to predict the ultimate winners in large language models. In his view, the better trade is to own the companies selling the tools. He also pointed to the biggest downside risk: a prolonged Iran conflict that keeps WTI crude in the $75-$80 range into Labor Day, pushes gasoline toward $5, lifts inflation pressure and cuts into earnings growth. In that scenario, Hogan said S&P 500 earnings growth could slow sharply in the third quarter.
