Ed Yardeni's prediction that S&P 500 would reach 7,000 by December 31, 2025 did not come true. S&P 500's best close before the deadline was 6,932 on December 24, 2025, 67.95 points below the target. Ed Yardeni made the call on The Daily Hodl on November 10, 2025, when S&P 500 was at 6,729. The target needed a 4% rise in two months.

Yardeni argues that corporate earnings have been prolific enough to keep the market afloat, and he predicts that the S&P 500 is about to rally once again, crossing 7,000 by the end of the year.

Yardeni said corporate earnings have been strong enough to keep the market afloat and described stocks as a buying-the-dip bull market at record highs. He argued that the widespread nervousness about an AI bubble is a good sign, contrasting it with the late-1990s tech bubble, and said cloud providers are profiting from AI.
