7 Stocks That Could Explode After the 2022 Midterm Elections Although arguably most folks hate the political season due to the back-and-forth mudslinging that materializes, investors will want to pay close attention to the 2022 midterm elections. According to historical data, the midterms broadly kick off superior market performance. Per U.S. Bank’s wealth management arm, “When the analysts looked at data around midterm elections (elections held in between presidential elections), they found that the SP 500 consistently outperformed in the year after midterms compared with non-midterm years. Just like presidential elections, which party controls Congress generally was not a factor in projecting overall equity market performance.” Also, on a historical note, U.C. Santa Barbara notes that rarely does the sitting president’s party gain seats in both houses of Congress. Therefore, the narrative suggests that Republicans may have a big day for the upcoming 2022 midterm elections. In addition, stocks widely may swing higher. If this circumstance pans out – and please be aware no guarantee exists – then specific stocks just might outperform others.
