Most NFL fans might be starting to tire of seeing Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but their pursuit of an unprecedented third straight Lombardi Trophy on Sunday might bode well for your portfolio.
The stock market responds well when the Chiefs are in the big game, according to statistics shared by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Kansas City’s six previous Super Bowl appearances have coincided with an average yearly gain of 21% for the S&P 500, compared to the index’s average return of roughly 10%. As the Chiefs became the ninth team in NFL history to win back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024, the S&P jumped 26.3% and 25%, respectively.
