HSBC has lifted its 2026 S&P 500 target to 8,100, driven by robust earnings growth and AI-related capital spending, while maintaining a stable rate outlook and arguing that current market concerns over elections and geopolitics are disproportionate to actual risks.

  • According to GN markets/earnings (en-US), HSBC strategist Nicole Inui details that the target hike is anchored by a 33% full-year EPS growth forecast and a 22.5x multiple, while explicitly dismissing fears regarding Fed rate hikes, geopolitical instability, and midterm election volatility as overdone.
