At present, the US stock market continues to hit a new record high, and the market sentiment shows a typical "cautious optimism": investors are generally worried about the risk of high foam, afraid of becoming the late takers, but they can't resist the profit making effect of this round of quotations. The reason why the market can continue to strengthen at high levels and has not yet seen a turning point at the top is not due to a single positive stimulus, but rather a "perfect storm of abundant dividends" resonating with multiple potential forces.

The continuation of this epic bull market is driven by five core underlying forces: abundant intelligent production capacity, abundant corporate profits, abundant US dollar liquidity, abundant market risk appetite, and abundant time cycle dividends. The five fold logic overlaps and reinforces each other, building a solid upward foundation for the US stock market, which also confirms that the current market is still in the heating stage and has not yet reached its peak.

1、 Abundant intelligent production capacity: AI intelligent agents ignite exponential demand, and technological dividends continue to be released

The most fundamental support for the industry in this round of market trend comes from the intelligent production capacity revolution brought about by the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence. With the continuous reduction of the threshold for interaction between large models, AI technology has stepped out of the laboratory and fully landed in civilian and commercial scenarios through dialogue interfaces, opening up a cycle of global intelligence dividends.

Different from the hype surrounding AI concepts in the past, the core increment of this round of growth is no longer solely from human users, but rather the large-scale explosion of AI agents. Various intelligent agent tools are rapidly becoming popular, and users can rely on AI to independently build programs, write code, and automatically execute tasks, directly driving the consumption of computing power and exponential growth in model calls.

The statistical data of market data researcher Jim Bianco clearly supports this trend: since January this year, the consumption of AI tokens across the entire network has continued to soar rapidly. With the landing of mainstream intelligent agent products such as Claude Cowork and OpenClaw Moltbook, AI has officially entered the era of large-scale applications. More importantly, the current growth in demand for AI is only in its early stages, and there is almost no limit to the release space of intelligent production capacity, which continues to empower the technology track and become the cornerstone of the core industry for the rise of the US stock market.

2、 Abundant corporate profits: Giants' performance exceeds expectations, with solid fundamental support

The landing of AI technology is not simply a matter of hype, but a tangible implementation that builds the most solid fundamental barrier for the growth of enterprise revenue and profits in the US stock market. Regardless of recent financial performance or institutional profit expectations for 2026, the profits of US stock companies have maintained a steady upward trend.

Charlie Bilello from wealth management firm Creative Planning estimates that by the end of 2025, the overall earnings per share (EPS) of US stock companies are expected to grow at a year-on-year rate of up to 24%. For a US stock giant with a market value of billions or trillions, such a high overall growth rate is extremely rare in history.

Looking at individual stocks, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and other trillion dollar enterprises achieved a year-on-year revenue growth of 55%, fully demonstrating the breadth and explosive power of this round of profit recovery. The solid performance growth has thoroughly solidified the high valuation of the US stock market, providing a fundamental basis for the upward trend of the market, rather than simply speculation by funds.

3、 Abundant liquidity of the US dollar: Massive currency flooding, continuously driving up equity assets

The combination of industrial growth and monetary easing is the dual confidence of this bull market. In the past six years, the United States has continued to implement loose fiscal and monetary policies, and nearly 40% of the total amount of US dollars circulating in the market has been newly issued in the past six years. A massive influx of incremental US dollars into the market has formed a typical pattern of "more money, less assets".

Limited high-quality listed assets, coupled with unlimited issuance of US dollar liquidity, directly drive the continuous rise of US stock valuations and prices. On the one hand, the loose monetary system has driven up global inflation and diluted the purchasing power of household savings. On the other hand, it has thoroughly revitalized the equity market, providing a continuous source of funds for the long-term bull market of the US stock market, which is the core macro background of the sustained strengthening of the market.

4、 Abundant risk appetite: Market speculation sentiment heats up, funds fully embrace risky assets

The continuous shrinkage of the purchasing power of the US dollar and the decline in traditional savings returns have fundamentally changed the risk appetite of market funds. Compared to prudent financial management, investors are more willing to enter the equity market to seek excess returns, and the speculative sentiment among the public continues to rise.

The derivative market data can most intuitively reflect the degree of market frenzy. According to statistics from Citadel Securities, the current amount of funds invested by retail investors in semiconductor options has reached 4.9 times the average since 2020, which is still 25% higher than the historical peak of the AI chip boom in 2024. High risk tools such as zero day options and leveraged ETFs continue to be popular, confirming that market risk appetite has entered an extremely abundant stage.

The increase in corporate profits and the intensification of cash depreciation pressure have driven the continuous influx of funds into risky assets, even though the market is at a high level, the momentum for long positions is still abundant.

5、 Abundant time cycle: The bull market cycle is far from over, and reverse bears continue to be under pressure

In addition to the fundamental, financial, and emotional aspects, the time cycle dividend that most people overlook is the key logic supporting the continuation of this bull market. The market always has a strong irrational attribute: the time for the market to remain overvalued and fluctuate upwards often far exceeds market expectations, and premature bearish or top selling is essentially equivalent to a misjudgment.

According to data from the financial analysis column "Opening Bell", the current bull market in the US stock market has lasted for 1326 days, but it is still more than 600 days shorter than the average cycle of historical bull markets since 1949. This means that the time dimension of this bull market is far from complete, and the continuous betting on the collapse of bears outside the market is essentially a game against the historical cycle.

The current market is experiencing high volatility and cautious sentiment, but there has been no peak signal in the cyclical, funding, and industry dimensions. The existence of time dividends provides ample room for the upward cycle of the US stock market to continue.

Conclusion: Five fold dividend resonance, bull market is still in the heating stage

Overall, the five driving forces of industrial innovation in intelligent production capacity, solid recovery of corporate profits, sustained easing of US dollar liquidity, extreme rise in market risk appetite, and ample space for bull market cycles have formed a perfect resonance, constructing a "perfect storm of abundant dividends" for cost round US stocks.

Although the current market is at a historical high and the sentiment is cautious, the US stock market has not shown a top turning point signal in terms of industry landing, corporate performance, liquidity, or historical cycles. This bull market is not coming to an end, but is still in the main upward phase of continuous warming, and the long-term upward trend is still clear.
