Where will the stock market be in 2026?
The long-term bull market in stocks is about to turn 11 years old, according to Bank of America. The bank called the rally "middle-aged" and said it could surge another 34% through the end of 2026. The S&P 500 would trade at about 7,000 if such a gain materialized.
Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research told CNBC on Wednesday that the S&P 500 could jump 26% through 2026 to 6,500. "I think this is a long-term bull market. I got still 5,400 by year-end and that was a pretty bold call a year ago, but right now that's looking pretty conservative, and why not more?" Yardeni said.
In fact, based on current valuations there is considerable upside for the stock market between now and the end of 2025, according to Higgins. "We are sticking to our view that this [stock market bubble] will inflate through the end of next year.
Instead, it's the stocks of mega-size companies – Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA) – that have soared in price over the past year, propelling the broad market to double-digit returns.
Here's the Growth Stock to Buy Right Now. The Nasdaq-100 technology index plunged into a bear market in 2022 on the back of a 33% loss for the year.

While there could be a growth slowdown in the first half of 2024, experts believe growth should resume in the second half of the year. Americans faced many financial challenges this year, from persistent inflation to increasingly expensive debt.
Investing in an S&P 500 ETF like SPY is generally considered a solid long-term investment strategy, and 2024 could be a good year to invest if you're looking for broad market exposure.
Our forecasts call for the U.S. economy to grow 1.6% in 2024 and 1.7% in 2025. But if the U.S. labor market merely remains as resilient as it has been since late 2020, U.S. growth could be half a percentage point stronger in 2023 and 0.7 point stronger in 2025. The result would be much stronger global growth as well.
If you have $50,000 to invest, there are plenty of good options. You can choose safe investments, like CDs or high-yield savings accounts. Alternatively, you can invest in things like stocks and real estate in the hopes of achieving superior long-term returns.
Where do I put cash 2024?
1. High-yield savings accounts. Overview: A high-yield savings account at a bank or credit union is a good alternative to holding cash in a checking account, which typically pays very little interest on your deposit. The bank will pay interest in a savings account on a regular basis.
