[Goldman Sachs Strategists Expect Earnings Growth to Drive Further Gains in the S&P 500 Index] According to a report by Jinse Finance, Goldman Sachs strategists believe that the U.S. stock market still has room to rise, forecasting that the S&P 500 Index will climb to 7,600 points by the end of the year, with earnings growth being the primary driver. The team, led by Ben Snider, stated that given the current market pricing reflects economists' forecasts for 'solid but below-trend' GDP growth, they recommend investors focus on long-term growth companies rather than cyclical ones. The strategists also added that U.S. stocks have reached new highs driven by upward revisions in earnings expectations, while valuation multiples remain below pre-conflict levels. (Bloomberg)
