Ignoring the noise of the technology stock market crash, what Barclays and Stifel see is: strong earnings and the S&P 500 reaching 7800 points by the end of the year.

Chinatong Financial App learned that, in the recent period when the U.S. stock market continued to be sold off, two Wall Street institutions, Barclays and Stifel, released reports on the same day, both raising their year-end target for the S&P 500 index in 2026 to 7800 points, about 4.4% higher than the index's closing price on Tuesday. This contrarian bullish move has attracted widespread market attention.
