  • Citi Raises 2026 S&P 500 Price Target Citing AI-Driven Earnings Growth
    June 7, 2026, 5:24 PM EDT. Citi analysts have quietly increased their 2026 S&P 500 price target from 7,700 to 8,100, a 5.2% rise, based on expected robust earnings growth fueled by heavy AI infrastructure spending. Scott Chronert of Citi forecasts index-level earnings (operating earnings per share) to hit $350 in 2026 and $400 in 2027, reflecting genuine profitability gains rather than just elevated stock valuations. This outlook persists despite recent market volatility triggered by stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data and concerns over inflation, geopolitical tensions, and Federal Reserve interest rate policies. Chip stocks, including Nvidia and Intel, saw significant declines recently, but Citi views this as a temporary setback amid a broader positive trend.
