Economists at the US banking giant Wells Fargo are suddenly hiking their year-end S&P 500 target.<\/p>\n

Wells Fargo is now forecasting<\/a> the S&P 500 will close out the year at 7,950, up from its previous prediction of 7,300, a nearly 9% increase, reports Reuters.<\/p>\n

The bank\u2019s economists site three main factors for the index hike forecast: stronger corporate earnings, the U.S.-Iran interim deal easing macroeconomic risks and a recent market pullback.<\/p>\n

Wells Fargo says the recent sell-off in the market has cooled investor sentiment, setting the stage for further upside.<\/p>\n

\u201cSentiment has reset, providing room for upside in the AI trade. Hyperscalers\u2019 race to raise capital is also a big tailwind for semis and infra.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In a note to investors, the brokerage increased this year\u2019s prediction for the S&P 500 earnings per share (eps) to $340 from $315, a nearly 8% increase. Wells Fargo also raised its eps in 2027 to $390 from $365.<\/p>\n

The economists say the significant risk in the market outlook is the general increase in the prices of goods and services.<\/p>\n

Says Wells Fargo,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to see inflation as the biggest risk to stocks, but only if the Fed were to react. A potential \u2018run it hot, inflate out\u2019 policy is bullish, and we expect stocks will be the best inflation hedge in that backdrop.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
