UBS Global Wealth Management lifts S&P 500 year-end target to 8,100
UBS Global Wealth Management has joined a growing number of global research firms forecasting the S&P 500 will top 8,000 by end-2026.
UBS Global Wealth Management has increased its year-end target for the S&P 500 index to 8,100, reflecting optimism about the index's future performance. This new target suggests a potential 6% increase from Thursday's closing price of 7,641.16 points. The wealth management division of UBS Bank cited several factors supporting this bullish outlook.
Firstly, UBS expects earnings per share to rise to $350 in 2026 and $400 in 2027, up from previous estimates of $335 and $375. Additionally, the firm remains confident in the continued growth of AI-related companies and the positive impact of improving conditions in cyclical sectors of the economy. UBS maintains its positive stance on US equities, attributing the bull market's success to three key elements: resilient economic growth, supportive monetary policy, and the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence.
