Tech earnings and margin expansion continue to drive U.S. stocks to record highs, even as geopolitical risks and higher oil prices persist. Mary Ann Bartels explains why the rally remains resilient, highlights Alphabet (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) as underappreciated leaders, and points to improving market breadth beyond the Magnificent Seven. She also outlines how data center spending is lifting industrials like Caterpillar (CAT) and Eaton (ETN), with double‑digit earnings growth setting the stage for a potential S&P 500 run toward 10,000.
