Investors clinging to the old market adage "Sell in May and go away" risk missing reliable gains. Recent historical trends from May 1 to July 31 show the S&amp;P 500 often rallies during this period, challenging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/seasonality">decades-old seasonal wisdom.</a>
April, typically one of the strongest months for U.S. equities along with November and December, is set to end in negative territory this year as Trump-related tariff announcements rattled markets.
"History would argue that if the S&amp;P 500 is able to pull off this feat and April losses or gains turn out to be relatively mild… the outlook isn't quite as grim," Jeff Buchbinder, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial, said in an email.
In such scenarios, the S&amp;P 500 — as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — has posted an average return of 5.9% from May through December and 11.5% for the full year.
See Now: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/45108426/as-growth-falters-sentiment-slips-economist-says-risks-to-the-economic-outlook-are-increasing">As Growth Falters, Sentiment Slips, Economist Says &#8216;Risks To The Economic Outlook Are Increasing&#8217;</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens Between May And July?</h3>
Contrary to the adage, May through July has increasingly been a period of strength for stocks. 
According to Seasonax data, during this three-month window, the S&amp;P 500 gained ground in 11 of the past 15 years. The average return across those years is 3.3%, while the median is 4.3%.
The standout year was 2020, when the index surged 14% in the aftermath of the pandemic rally. On the downside, 2010 saw the S&amp;P 500 fall 8.4% during the same period, its worst May–July stretch in the dataset.
Recent years paint an even clearer picture: over the past decade, the index rose in 9 out of 10 May–July periods, with an average gain of 5.3% and a median of 4.6%. That's hardly consistent with a market hibernation phase.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What About 2025—A Post-Election Year?</h3>
Market behavior in post-election years tends to reinforce the bullish May–July trend. 
Based on 97 years of data, the S&amp;P 500 recorded gains in 18 out of 24 such periods following a U.S. presidential election. The average return during those months is 3.8%, with a median return close to 3%.
This suggests that political cycles may influence investor confidence and liquidity, creating favorable conditions for equities between May and July.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Was The &#8216;Sell In May&#8217; Rule Ever Valid?</h3>
Between 1962 and 2012, the &#8220;sell in May&#8221; strategy held more weight. Over those 50 years, the S&amp;P 500 delivered gains in just over half of the May–July periods (26 out of 50), yet with an average return of negative 0.3%. 
The worst performance came in 2002, when the index cratered 16.9% amid the collapse of tech stocks.

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Kaleo <a href="https://x.com/CryptoKaleo/status/1917613664271479157">highlighted</a> that Bitcoin has just set a new all-time high relative to the Nasdaq, breaking above its 2021 peak. 
BTC is now consolidating near those levels, a bullish sign suggesting it's primed for another breakout. Momentum favors further upside, and this looks like the start of a major outperformance leg, Kaleo noted.
More Crypto Online offered a technical perspective, observing that Bitcoin remains in consolidation. 
The current structure resembles a wave B correction, which typically precedes a stronger wave C move to the upside.
A minor final dip within wave B would be &#8220;healthy,&#8221; with the broader setup still leaning bullish as long as key support holds.

Meanwhile, Titan of Crypto noted Bitcoin is tightly range-bound between $92,800 and $95,800, awaiting a decisive move.
Despite the lack of a breakout, the steadily rising Tenkan line (a key Ichimoku indicator) reflects increasing buyer strength. 
If this trend continues, Titan says a bullish breakout is the more likely outcome.

Shares of copper-related companies are trading lower ahead of China's Labour Day. The material may also be experiencing weakness due to a contraction in Q1 US GDP.

PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>)&nbsp;shares are trading lower on Wednesday. Several analysts lowered the price forecast/rating on the stock after first-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/pypl/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">results reported on Tuesday</a>.
Quarterly&nbsp;revenue growth&nbsp;was 1% year-over-year to $7.79 billion, missing the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;of&nbsp;$7.84 billion. Adjusted EPS was $1.33, beating&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45067312/paypal-earnings-beat-but-slower-spending-and-checkout-use-weigh-on-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;of $1.16</a>.
PayPal expects a second-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.29-$1.31, compared to $1.19 for the previous year's period, and the&nbsp;analyst consensus estimate&nbsp;is $1.21.
PayPal reiterated full-year 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.95-$5.10, compared to $4.65 Y/Y. Currently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analysts estimate an EPS of $5.01</a>.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Daniel R. Perlin slashed the price forecast for PYPL from $104 to $88, while keeping an Outperform rating.
The analyst writes that despite ongoing complexities in the company&#8217;s transition, he sees near-term indicators supporting continued success.
The positive factors include Branded checkout (online) Total Payment Volume (TPV) maintaining a steady 6% year-over-year growth (excluding FX and Leap Day), with over 45% of U.S. transactions utilizing the latest technology.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45089879/paypal-says-buy-now-pay-later-users-spend-33-more-make-17-more-transactions-pushes-for-global-rollout" rel="noreferrer noopener">PayPal Says &#8216;Buy Now, Pay Later&#8217; Users Spend 33% More, Make 17% More Transactions—Pushes For Global Rollout</a>
Also, transaction margin dollars increased by 7% year-over-year and significant continued growth in Venmo monetization through Pay with Venmo and the debit card are tailwinds, adds the analyst.
Perlin considers the unchanged FY25 guidance prudent given the current uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, providing flexibility for the second half of the year.
The analyst revised FY25 revenue and adjusted EPS estimates to $32.12 billion and $5.10 (from $32.19 billion and $5.00, respectively), and FY26 estimates to $33.18 billion and $5.85 (from $33.70 billion and $5.80, respectively).
Canaccord Genuity analyst Joseph Vafi maintained a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating with a price target of $96.00.
The analyst writes that the first quarter marked another quarter of steady progress in PayPal&#8217;s business realignment under its new CEO, Alex Chriss, who has been in the role for just over a year.
Vafi says that the quarter was notable for transaction-margin dollar growth contributions from both branded and, importantly, now unbranded payment volume.
While some on Wall Street expressed disappointment regarding revenue headwinds stemming from the non-renewal of certain low or negative-margin unbranded volume contracts in the last quarter, the analyst views this as a sound strategic move.
Vafi sees transaction-margin dollar growth as the key metric to monitor, at least in the near term.
Goldman Sachs analyst Will Nance writes that earnings positives include de-risked numbers, faster-than-expected branded checkout upgrades (45% of U.S. branded on newest integration), strong growth in Pay with Venmo TPV (50%+), debit card TPV (60%+), and BNPL (20%+), and improved Braintree yields.
Nance cited range-bound to slightly weaker branded checkout volumes and outperformance driven by credit products as a negative factor.
Overall, the analyst is cautious on the longer-term trends due to favorable margin dynamics (low-single-digit opex growth) and significant capital return/FCF.
JP Morgan analyst Tien-Tsin Huang slashed the price forecast from $90 to $75, maintaining an Overweight rating.
The analyst says that the results offered points for both positive and negative perspectives, but they feel incrementally better about the stock&#8217;s setup.
Positives include stable spending (excluding Leap Year), positive commentary on business diversification (US-China cross-border, retail/discretionary split), and a reiterated guide, which provides a second-half cushion, according to the analyst.
Huang says that negatives include slightly soft branded growth (+4% vs. JPMe +5%) and questions about the beat&#8217;s quality due to strong credit growth (easier comparison).
Strong product ramp-up (Venmo revenue +20%, 45% of U.S. on modern checkout) supports improving growth and execution in a stable macro, aligning with management&#8217;s investor day commitments, the analyst added.
Price Action: PYPL shares are down 1.6% at $65.20 at last check Wednesday.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shares fell 2.44% to $540.91 on Wednesday ahead of its first-quarter earnings report, pressured in part by Snap Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/04/45113655/snap-stock-is-getting-smoked-on-wednesday-whats-going-on">results</a> the evening prior.
What To Know: While Snap beat Wall Street estimates on revenue and losses per share, concerns emerged from its cautious outlook and lack of formal second-quarter guidance, reigniting fears about a broader slowdown in digital advertising. 
Investors may worry that Snap&#8217;s advertising headwinds could signal challenges for Meta as well, particularly given overlapping advertiser bases and reliance on macroeconomic ad trends.

Meta Earnings Up Next: Meta, which has a stronger ad infrastructure and broader platform reach than Snap—including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp—is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/04/45083272/meta-platforms-q1-earnings-preview-analyst-expects-weak-guidance-will-company-continue-streak-of-revenue-beats">expected to report</a> revenue of $41.39 billion and EPS of $5.28. 
However, uncertainty around capital spending, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45112477/exclusive-if-meta-is-forced-to-divest-instagram-whatsapp-or-facebook-43-pick-this-standout">litigation pressures</a> and a possible decline in user engagement—highlighted during recent FTC testimony by CEO Mark Zuckerberg—may weigh on sentiment. Investors will be watching closely for updates on Meta's AI initiatives, monetization of Instagram and WhatsApp, and commentary on ad demand. 
Meta&#8217;s first-ever GenAI developer event and launch of a standalone Meta AI app signal ambitious long-term bets that will need to prove traction in a cautious ad market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy META Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Meta Platforms &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Meta Platforms, which is trading at $540.91 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you about 0.18 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, META has a 52-week high of $740.89 and a 52-week low of $427.20.

Corpay Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPAY#NYSE">CPAY</a>) stock slipped after the company announced a strategic partnership with Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) in cross-border payments.
The partnership "validates the hidden value of Corpay's B2B cross-border payments unit," according to JPMorgan.
The Partnership: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58f777c10bd99100018a435e/tien-tsin-huang">Analyst Tien-tsin Huang</a> said that the agreement has Mastercard taking an investment stake of $300 million in Corpay's cross-border business, which is an "important growth area in payments."
The Corpay Thesis: The deal will allow Mastercard's non-tier 1 banks to better compete with tier 1 banks by enabling them to provide cross-border payments to financial institutions (FIs), Huang said in the note.

This would accelerate Corpay's cross-border revenues from the underserved FI segment, he added.
"Also, CPAY will exclusively issue Mastercard virtual cards, while CPAY will re-market Mastercard Move to its current/ prospective SME clients," the analyst wrote. The deal seems like it aligns the interests of both companies to penetrate the cross-border and business-to-business (B2B) markets, he further stated.
CPAY Price Action: Shares of Corpay had declined by 1.49% to $319.43 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
