UBS Raises S&P 500 Target to 8,400 Points, Predicts AI and Earnings Growth Will Extend Bull Market

UBS has raised its target for the S&P 500 index, forecasting a target of 8,100 points by December 2026 and an increase to 8,400 points by June 2027, driven by strong corporate earnings growth and sustained economic resilience. UBS expects S&P 500 companies' earnings per share (EPS) to reach $350 in 2026 and $400 in 2027, primarily supported by the performance of the technology, semiconductor, and energy sectors. The firm is optimistic about the resilience of the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve's patient policy, and the accelerated implementation of artificial intelligence, believing there is still room for the current bull market to continue. However, UBS also warns of potential risks, including rising oil prices, renewed inflation, and returns on AI investments falling short of expectations, which could put pressure on market valuations and upward momentum.
