Wall Street analyst sets odds of S&P 500 hitting 9,000 at end of 2026

A Wall Street analyst says the S&P 500 could reach 9,000 by end-2026 in a bullish AI-driven scenario, implying substantial upside from current levels. The note is constructive for risk assets and highlights artificial intelligence as the key earnings and valuation catalyst, but it is still only an analyst projection rather than a policy or earnings event.
