So far, 61% of individual companies in the S&P 500 are in bear-market territory, observed Mike Mullaney, director of global markets research at Boston Partners. The steepest fall, a peak-to-trough decline of nearly 57%, occurred in the 17 months that marked the bear market that accompanied the 2007-2009 financial crisis. The longest was a 48.2% drop that ran for nearly 21 months in 1973-’74. The shortest was the nearly 34% drop that took place over just 23 trading sessions as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked a global rout that bottomed out on March 23, 2020, and marked the start of the current bull market.
