JPMorgan Predicts 10% Growth for S&P500 in Next 12 Months.

JPMorgan Private Bank expects S&P500 to climb to 3,750 points by September next year, a 10% increase from its previous close.

What Might Happen? JPMorgan Private Bank anticipates the S&P500 closing out the year at 3,600 and going up to 3,750 points in the following nine months. Given the index hovered around 3,335 after yesterday’s close, that’s a 10% upside.

With the market’s trending downward this month, this optimism might seem misplaced. Just a week back, the S&P 500 closed at 3,236.92 – its lowest since late July. Nasdaq slid 3% to close at a two-month low. The Dow dropped 1.9% even after component stock Nike set record highs on account of a great quarter.

JPMorgan believes the US presidential elections will have minimal impact on share prices. It is bullish on corporate earnings in the post-pandemic recovery phase.

JPMorgan recommends sectors witnessing “structural growth” such as digital transformation, environment-related trends, or healthcare and technology innovation to be a part of investment portfolios in general.
