The Equity Bull Market Remains Intact
Conviction: 68%
· Horizon: 1Y
· 2026-08-13
Stronger profit growth plus re-levering buyers and buybacks can carry the S&P toward 8000-8150.
S&P 500 profit growth is tracking 32% this quarter, up from 30% in the first quarter, against a still-reasonable economic backdrop. After last month's unwind, systematic buyers look ready to add exposure again, and corporate buybacks into earnings season can add a further bid. Investors have been rotating more than selling, which is hard to square with a finished bull market.
| Instrument | Side | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPY | Long | We believe 32% S&P earnings growth, systematic buyers reloading after a forced unwind, and buyback execution through earnings season can keep the index bid toward the 8000-8150 zone over the next year. |
