Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wall Street consensus S&P 500 price target for 2026?
The mean 2026 year-end S&P 500 price target across the 40 Wall Street strategists AnaChart tracks is 7,268, with a median of 7,325. The most bullish call is John Stoltzfus at 8,100; the most bearish is Peter Berezin at 5,280. The full distribution is plotted on the chart above and listed in the consensus table.
How many strategists still see S&P 500 upside in 2026?
Of the 40 strategists with a 2026 target, 19 sit above the 7,392 baseline and still imply upside from the May 12, 2026 close, while 21 have targets at or below it, meaning the index has already reached or passed their year-end call. The implied return column in the table shows each strategist’s distance from the baseline.
Which Wall Street strategist has been most accurate historically?
AnaChart ranks strategists by final-year hit rate within 3% of the actual S&P 500 close. Each strategist’s full year-by-year accuracy table is on their individual page, reached by clicking any name in the consensus table. Jonathan Golub carries one of the strongest recent records, finishing within 3% of the close in each of the last four completed years.
How often do strategists revise their S&P 500 target?
Most strategists revise once or twice per year, typically at year-end when they publish a fresh next-year target, and again mid-year if conditions diverge from their thesis. Turning-point years such as 2020 and 2022 saw four or five revisions across the cohort. Every revision is plotted on the chart at its issuance date.
Why are some strategists excluded from the consensus?
Strategists who retired, died, or left the chief-strategist role without issuing a 2026 call are kept on AnaChart for their historical record but are not part of the 2026 consensus. Where a firm replaced its strategist, the current holder carries the firm’s forecast so the firm is counted once. Goldman Sachs is represented by Ben Snider, successor to David Kostin, and Wells Fargo by Ohsung Kwon, successor to Christopher Harvey.
