Market strategist Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research has raised his 2026 price target on the S&P 500 to 8,400, implying an additional 8% gain from its current level of about 7,756. Yardeni cites fabulous earnings momentum, with second-quarter S&P 500 earnings up more than 50% annually and 76% of reporting companies beating EPS estimates. He also sees upside from a potential end to the Iran war, which would ease oil prices and inflation, and from continued AI investment paying off, as hyperscalers plan to spend over $700 billion on AI infrastructure this year. Yardeni expects 2027 S&P 500 EPS estimates to top $400 by year-end, supporting a target above 8,000.
