UBS Forecasts S&P 500 Surge Driven by Earnings Growth

According to BlockBeats, UBS anticipates the S&P 500 index will rise to 7500 points next year, propelled by a 14% increase in earnings, with nearly half of this growth contributed by the technology sector. The bank predicts that the economic slowdown at the beginning of 2026 will be replaced by stronger global growth in the latter half of the year. U.S. stocks are expected to achieve approximately a 10% return rate, primarily driven by corporate earnings rather than valuation expansion. The upward trend is likely to extend beyond technology giants to other sectors by mid-year. UBS expresses a preference for equities over credit bonds and forecasts that the U.S. market will outperform both European and emerging markets.
