Several Wall Street institutions release 2026 US stock market forecasts: the bull market is not over yet, S&P 500 Index expected to rise to at least 7,500 points

BlockBeats News, November 27 — Several Wall Street institutions have released their forecasts for the US stock market in 2026, generally believing that there is still room for further gains in the next phase, as the AI boom continues to reshape the economy and financial markets.

Deutsche Bank has set a year-end 2026 target for the S&P 500 Index at 8,000 points, while HSBC has set its 2026 target at 7,500 points. Morgan Stanley also expects next year to be a strong one, predicting the index will close at 7,800 points in 2026. The bank's strategist Mike Wilson referred to this as a "new bull market." In a report last week, he stated that the rolling recession ended earlier this year, and that policy support and earnings strength will continue into next year.

JPMorgan holds a similar stance, with a baseline forecast of the index reaching 7,500 points in 2026. However, the bank believes that if the inflation outlook improves and prompts the Federal Reserve to cut rates more aggressively, the index could break through 8,000 points. Currently, JPMorgan expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates twice more before pausing. (Golden Ten Data)
