Peter Berezin
Chief Global Strategist · Coverage since 2024
AnaChart's record of Peter Berezin's S&P 500 year-end price targets at BCA Research covers 5 published targets and revisions across 2 closed forecast years. His final-year hit rate within ±3% of the actual close is 0% — 0 of 2 years. Closest call: 2024, target 4,200 vs. actual 5,882. Largest miss: 2025, target 4,450 vs. actual 6,846.
Berezin is the most bearish strategist in AnaChart's coverage, and a short record makes the gap stark. His 4,200 call for 2024 finished 29% below the actual close, and his 2025 view, revised three times and ending at 4,450, missed by 35%, the widest single-year gap among Part 5 strategists. He held a recession base case through both years even as the index climbed. His 5,280 target for 2026 again sits far below the market and implies a steep decline. With only two closed years, the record is thin and is best read alongside his stated thesis. Every call is plotted on the chart below.
