The year started with a bang. Investor hopes were high on the expectation of the implementation of Trump’s pro-business and pro-growth policies, but stock prices struggled and ended last week in the red.
According to FactSet, the bottom-up aggregated S&P 500 target price for year-end 2025 is 6,678.18. But in the last 20 years, bottom-up analysts have historically overestimated the S&P 500 year-end price by 6.9%. Applying the 6.9% discount we would arrive at an adjusted target of 6,084.19, which represents a price gain of 5.7% for the year.
The FactSet adjusted estimate is roughly in line with my expectation of low single-digit gains. Along the way, however, I expect a higher degree of market volatility during the year as the Trump 2.0 Administration takes office and faces the challenges of governing.
