JPMorgan has increased its 2026 S&P 500 price target to 8,000 from 7,800, pointing to an exceptionally strong second-quarter earnings season and growing evidence that massive artificial intelligence investments are translating into stronger business performance. The bank also raised its earnings forecasts for both 2026 and 2027, although elevated interest rates, geopolitical risks and heavy capital-market supply are keeping its valuation assumptions in check.
