“Too good to miss” or “why can’t anything else rally” might be the pithiest summations of the stock market’s current status, with the at record highs but driven largely by a cohort of tech stocks that have left their rivals in the dust since the Iran war started in late February.

Dell Technologies has been one of the highest-flying stocks in the index this year, but it might be time to take some chips off the table, according to UBS. The investment bank downgraded Dell shares to Neutral from Buy in a research note over the weekend, although it lifted its price target to $243 from $167. Dell’s server business is in excellent shape, UBS argued, but demand from artificial-intelligence companies is already baked into the stock price.

Ed Yardeni, founder and CEO at Yardeni Research, lifted his year-end price target for the S&P 500 by just over 7%, taking it to 8250 from 7700, a level that suggests gains of more than 11.5% from the benchmark’s close Friday of 7398. Yardeni also thinks the benchmark will hit 10,000 by the end of 2029, adding in a note published Sunday that such an elevated reading might “arrive ahead of schedule” in the new market paradigm.

Investors were trimming their exposure to stocks after Trump slammed the response from Iran's negotiators to the latest U.S. proposal to end the war.
