TRUIST: BULL MARKET STILL STRONG Truist’s Keith Lerner says the U.S. bull market remains intact, with neither the economic expansion nor equity rally near its end. He expects 2.3% GDP growth in 2026, supported by Fed cuts, tax relief, and AI-driven spending. Corporate earnings are forecast to grow in the low double digits, with tech and AI leading. Broader market participation, small-cap opportunities, and constructive economic factors, including a $158B tax refund boost, support continued market gains despite potential volatility.(*Walter Bloomberg)
