Not everyone was eager to break out the cake and champagne Thursday, which marks the first anniversary of the S&P 500’s SPX bear-market low on Oct. 12, 2022. The large-cap benchmark subsequently exited the bear market on June 8, when it closed more than 20% above the October low — meeting a widely used threshold.

In the social-media post below, Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, notes the S&P 500 has seen the weakest first-year performance for a baby bull since the recovery from the 1987 stock-market crash: Stovall noted that every S&P 500 bull market since 1949 has ended only after fully retracing its losses from the previous bear market. The current bull has retraced only 83% of its fall.
