Goldman Sachs Raises S&P 500 Target to 7,200 Amid Bullish Market Outlook
Goldman Sachs has revised its S&P 500 forecast upward, projecting the index to reach 6,800 by the end of 2025—a 1.6% increase from current levels. The bank's Optimism stems from resilient corporate earnings and the Federal Reserve's recent rate cuts, which have fueled market momentum. The S&P 500, now trading at 6,693, has surged 14% year-to-date, rebounding sharply from April's downturn.
Beyond 2025, Goldman anticipates further gains, with the index potentially climbing to 7,200 within 6–12 months—a 7.6% ROI. This outlook persists despite geopolitical headwinds like trade wars, though scaled-back tariffs could amplify the rally. The swift recovery since April has reinvigorated investor confidence, driving renewed market participation.
