In a vacuum yes, but what is driving the recent increase in stock prices is the assumption that under Trump there will be lower taxes, less regulations, higher interest rates, and higher GDP growth. All of those things generally lead to higher profits for companies, which means more cash available to shareholders through higher dividends and higher share prices.
