Goldman Sachs Forecasts: Goldman Sachs has raised its S&P 500 targets to 6100 by year-end and 6500 in 12 months, citing improved economic growth, lower tariffs, and reduced recession risks, while also increasing EPS growth estimates for 2025 and 2026 to 7%.
Market Positioning and Recommendations: Despite bullish revisions, Goldman warns of potential limitations on market expansion due to optimistic pricing and economic uncertainties; they recommend stocks with high pricing power and express a positive outlook on AI-related companies.
