Why These Market Forecasters Expect Stocks To End the Year at Record Highs
Deutsche Bank analysts led by Chief US Equity & Global Strategist Binky Chadha on Tuesday raised their year-end S&P 500 target to 6,550. That suggests about 10% upside from Tuesday's close. And it would be nearly 7% above the index's record close from earlier this year. Investor positioning, they said, is close to neutral and assumes tariffs will be a slight drag on earnings growth this Wall Street forecasters see stocks closing out 2025 at record highs—despite a shaky start to the year. Deutsche Bank analysts led by Chief US Equity & Global Strategist Binky Chadha on Tuesday raised their year-end S&P 500 target to 6,550, a number suggesting about 10% upside from Tuesday's close. That would be nearly 7% above the index's record close from earlier this year. Investor positioning, they said, is close to neutral and assumes tariffs will be a slight drag on earnings growth this year. 'However, if there is confidence that tariff impacts will be modest and temporary, we expect discretionary investors to look through any slowing in growth and turn overweight in anticipation of a rebound,' they wrote. The analysts expect robust corporate demand to shrink the supply of stock on public markets. They forecast companies will spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks this year, thanks to resilient earnings. Deutsche Bank raised its estimate of the S&P 500's aggregate full-year earnings per share to $267 from $240. The firm entered the year forecasting index-level earnings of $282 per share. But it slashed that outlook in mid-April shortly after President Trump paused 'Liberation Day' tariffs for 90 days and lifted rates on Chinese goods to 145% at a minimum. Earnings, they estimated, would suffer from a prohibitively high effective tariff rate and the lingering possibility of a prolonged trade war. The outlook improved last month when the U.S. and China agreed to slash their respective tariff rates while officials negotiated a more comprehensive trade deal. Tensions between the world's two largest economies linger: This weekend each party accusing the other of violating their tentative agreement. Still, the White House's approach to tariff negotiations has some market watchers feeling optimistic. Deutsche Bank's analysts take the White House's decision to pause 'Liberation Day' tariffs just hours after they took effect, 'before the emergence of any legal barriers or economic or political pain,' as a sign that 'if negative impacts of tariffs do materialize, we will get further relents.' As such, Deutsche Bank expects this year's rally to 6,550 to benefit investors who bet on Trump relenting. 'Despite the rhetoric to the contrary, the 2018-2019 dynamic of repeated cycles of escalation and de-escalation predicated on the market looks to be alive and well.'

Why Guardant Health Stock Surged Nearly 9% Higher Today
The company's Shield multi-cancer detection test won an important designation from a top regulator. This should help bring it to market quicker. 10 stocks we like better than Guardant Health › Precision oncology specialist Guardant Health (NASDAQ: GH) was something of a stock market star on Tuesday. On the back of very positive news in the regulatory sphere, the company's shares jumped almost 9% higher today. This made it quite the outperformer on the exchange, as the bellwether S&P 500 index's gain was a relatively modest 0.6%. This morning before market open, Guardant announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted the healthcare company's Shield multi-cancer detection (MCD) test its Breakthrough Device designation. This instantly confers a high status on Shield, as the FDA's designation is given only to a small clutch of medical devices that can either diagnose or treat a disease more effectively than other products. In Shield's case, it is quite a versatile diagnostic device that can screen for a wide range of cancers, including colorectal, lung, and ovarian. It is designed to evaluate people 45 years of age or older who are at a typical average risk for cancer. According to Guardant, Shield has 98.6% specificity and 75% sensitivity in detecting certain cancers. In its news release touting the FDA's move, Guardant quoted its co-CEO AmirAli Talasaz as saying that it "shows the promise of the Shield MCD test to detect multiple cancers at an early stage with just a single, routine blood draw." "We look forward to partnering with the agency and other stakeholders to bring this breakthrough to patients quickly," he added. Another big plus of the Breakthrough Device designation is that it's part of an FDA initiative aimed at getting useful medical products to market faster. Talasaz and his team at Guardant might just get their wish with Shield before long.

Stock futures are little changed after S&P 500 posts second day of gains: Live updates
Traders work at the New York Stock Exchange on May 9, 2025. NYSE U.S. stock futures were little changed Tuesday night, after the S&P 500 notched a second straight day of gains. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dipped by 4 points, or 0.01%. S&P 500 futures were flat, and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 0.04%. In extended trading, CrowdStrike Holdings shares dropped more than 6%, after the cybersecurity company posted soft guidance on revenue for the current quarter. Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares popped 3%, after the information technology company topped analysts' expectations on the top and bottom lines. Wall Street is coming off a solid session Tuesday, posting back-to-back gains. The 30-stock Dow rose more than 200 points, or 0.5%, for its fourth positive day. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite did even better, advancing 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively, bolstered by the rise in tech stocks. Nvidia rose nearly 3%, surpassing Microsoft to become the world's most valuable public company once more. The recent comeback rally has investors increasingly confident stocks have turned a corner on tariffs, especially after a series of reversals from President Donald Trump convinced traders the White House is mainly wielding high levies as a negotiating tool. A federal court striking down Trump's tariffs just last week added to hopes the market has priced in the worst of the tariffs, though they were later reinstated temporarily by an appeals court. The increasingly muted response to trade headlines has more market watchers certain there's further upside for stocks, especially with cash that remains on the sidelines, and with policy developments more favorable to equities expected later this year. This week, Deutsche Bank's chief U.S. equity and global strategist Binky Chadha raised his year-end S&P 500 forecast. "We have a quiet week, and markets are rallying," Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, said Tuesday on CNBC's "Closing Bell." "I think the risk is now of a substantial leg-up rally from here." To be sure, others remain wary the full impact of tariff uncertainty is yet to be felt, and that upcoming economic indicators could start to show signs of softening. Investors will get further insight on the state of the labor market this week, with the ADP private payrolls report due out Wednesday, ahead of weekly jobless claims on Thursday and the big May jobs report Friday. The Federal Reserve's Beige Book will also be posted Wednesday afternoon. Earnings season also continues, with Dollar Tree reporting Wednesday morning before the open.
