Ameriprise keeps S&P 500 year-end target at 8,000 despite higher-for-longer rate risks
Bitget2026/09/21 16:30- Ameriprise kept its 2026 year-end S&P 500 target at 8,000, citing improving earnings expectations despite higher yields.
- Full-year 2026 S&P 500 EPS estimates cited near $362; 2027 estimates above $417, implying another year of double-digit growth.
- Base case assumes one more 25-basis-point Fed hike before year-end; policy expected to stay restrictive as core PCE reaches 2% in 2029.
- 10-year Treasury yield ended above 5.0%; higher term premium tied to large deficit borrowing seen capping equity valuations.
- Upside needs stronger 2027 growth outlook, lower energy-driven inflation, stabilizing rates; downside risks include hotter growth, higher oil, slower AI capex.
