Stock Market 2025: Will It Be a Sell-Off or Mega Rally?
As the New Year kicks off, investors are questioning the stock market's future - will it repeat last year's 20% increase in the S&P 500 or follow the bear market pattern like it did at the turn of the year from 2021 to 2022? Here's what the experts predict for 2025:
Forecasters' Accuracy
Investors often turn to analysts' end-of-year targets, hoping to catch a glimpse of the year ahead. But history shows many Wall Street professionals aren't particularly accurate, with Fundstrat being a notable exception. Strategist Tom Lee's bullish forecasts and the strongly rising markets have contributed to Fundstrat's surprising accuracy.
Expert Predictions for 2025
This year, selected analyst houses and investment banks have a generally bullish outlook for the stock market in 2025. The potential ranges from a modest 9% increase predicted by UBS to a more aggressive 19% forecasted by Deutsche Bank. Fundstrat, the usually bullish analyst house, is relatively moderate this time, expecting the S&P 500 to reach 7,000 points but then correct to 6,600 points by the end of the year.
