J.P. Morgan raised its year-end S&P 500 target to 8,000 from 7,800 on Monday, citing strong corporate earnings and rising confidence that AI investments by large hyperscalers will drive faster revenue growth. The new target implies about 3.1% upside from the index's last close. The brokerage also lifted its earnings-per-share forecasts to $365 for 2026 and $420 for 2027. Of the 436 S&P 500 firms that reported June-quarter results through Friday, 85.1% beat analyst expectations, well above the long-term average. However, the CAPE ratio, a valuation measure, has risen to about 44 times, near dot-com bubble levels, as Yahoo Finance noted.
