We are giving a mid-year update and raising our year-end target for S & P 500 to 8,000 from 7,700.
Lee said the higher target was mainly due to higher earnings-per-share estimates for 2027, while Fundstrat applied a lower target P/E. He cautioned that the path to the target was unlikely to be smooth.
How we checked this
The close of the last trading day on or before Dec 31, 2026 decides: the prediction comes true if that close is at or above 8,000. Prices are daily closes, not intraday highs.
