Major global brokerages expect the S&P 500 index to reach 8,000 or higher by late 2026, driven by artificial intelligence momentum and strong corporate earnings. Strategists project that AI-led earnings strength will offset economic pressures from the ongoing conflict in Iran. The bullish outlook persists despite broader concerns regarding persistent inflation and disruptions to global energy flows across the United States.
