No, I'm not referring to the holiday season, even if your local radio stations have all flipped over to Christmas formatting. I'm talking about stock forecast season, when the top strategists on Wall Street unveil their S&P 500 targets for the year ahead.

The Street's heaviest hitters have been on it, with a handful publishing their 2026 outlooks before Thanksgiving, giving market enthusiasts everywhere something to chew on over the holiday weekend. The past month’s mild stock market dip hasn’t dissuaded strategists at Morgan Stanley from raising their S&P 500 forecast for next year. Mike Wilson, the financial giant’s chief investment officer, now thinks the S&P 500 will finish 2026 at 7,800 amid a “new bull market.” With the leading index trading at 6,702.82 at time of writing, that would represent an increase of more than 16% over the next 13 months. Wilson says in a new interview with Bloomberg Television that the Federal Reserve needs to cut rates for that forecast to materialize. He also says it’s dependent on “the earnings cycle broadening out.” Wilson argues that the Fed’s balance sheet needs to expand to support the growth that he predicts will materialize next year.
