S&P 500 ETFs Up 6% This Year: What Lies Ahead?
Optimism about the S&P 500 is rising among Wall Street's analysts. One notable figure, Brian Belski, Chief Investment Strategist at BMO Capital Markets, said in late June that the index has much more room to climb this year, as quoted on Yahoo Finance. Goldman Sachs now has raised its return forecasts for the S&P 500 over the next three, six, and 12 months, driven by expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts and the continued strength of large-cap companies, as quoted on Reuters. S&P 500 ETFs like iShares Core S&P 500 ETF IVV, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF VOO added about 6.2% so far this year. The bank now anticipates a 3% gain over the next three months, targeting a level of 6,400. For the six-month horizon, it projects a 6% increase, raising its year-end target to 6,600 from the previously estimated 6,100. Over the next 12 months, Goldman sees an 11% rise, with the S&P 500 expected to reach 6,900. The analysts of Goldman attributed the upgrades to several key factors: expectations of earlier and more significant Federal Reserve rate cuts, lower bond yields than previously forecast, and persistent strength in large-cap fundamentals. Additionally, they noted that investors appear willing to look past likely short-term earnings softness. As a result, Goldman revised its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio forecast for the index to 22 times, up from 20.4 times. Recent strength in the U.S. labor market has supported broader investor confidence, helping push Wall Street to record highs last week. This comes after a market pullback in April, following former President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcements. However, optimism has returned amid hopes for trade deals and potential Fed easing. Goldman noted that recent inflation data and corporate surveys have shown less tariff pass-through than previously expected. Still, they believe the impact of tariffs will unfold gradually, with large-cap firms somewhat shielded in the near term by inventory buffers. Despite these evolving dynamics, Goldman Sachs has maintained its earnings-per-share (EPS) growth forecasts for the S&P 500 at +7% for both 2025 and 2026. While confident in these figures for now, analysts acknowledged that risks remain on both the upside and downside. They plan to reassess their projections following the second-quarter earnings season. Total S&P 500 earnings for the June quarter are expected to be up +5.0% from the same period last year on +4.0% higher revenues. Negative revisions to Q2 estimates have stabilized in recent weeks. We expect stronger S&P 500 gains ahead. With Q2 earnings projected to rise +5.0% on +4.0% revenue growth and estimate revisions stabilizing, confidence in near-term market resilience is growing—though risks remain.

S&P 500 ETFs Near Record Highs: More Upside in Store?
After a period of volatility earlier this year, Wall Street appears to be shifting into a risk-on mode, with the S&P 500 sitting just 2% shy of the record high of 6,144.15 set on Feb. 19. Optimism around U.S.-China trade negotiations, easing inflation and resilient corporate earnings fueled the three ultra-popular ETFs tracking the index — Vanguard S&P 500 ETF VOO, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY and iShares Core S&P 500 ETF IVV — are also trading near record highs. But is this rally sustainable, or are headwinds waiting just around the corner? Markets have staged an impressive recovery over the past two months, reversing steep losses that brought the S&P 500 within striking distance of a bear market in April. Since bottoming out at 4,982.77 on April 8, the index has rebounded over 20%, driven by Trump's softened stance on tariffs and a measured approach to trade negotiations.'Markets have moved higher on tariff postponement and the perception that they will be more moderate than initially announced,' noted Richard Saperstein, CIO at Treasury Partners. Still, he cautioned that 'headline sensitivity' remains high, with volatility likely to persist as trade talks evolve. Despite geopolitical uncertainty and macro headwinds, corporate America delivered better-than-expected first-quarter 2025 earnings. The tech sector, particularly heavyweights like NVIDIA NVDA, Microsoft MSFT and Meta META, has shown robust revenue growth, fueled by AI adoption and cloud expansion (read: ETFs Poised to Win in the MSFT vs. NVDA Market Cap Battle). The AI craze and capital expenditure into high-performance computing, semiconductors and software continue to rise. If this trend holds, it could lead to further upside for the broader S&P 500. A growing number of Wall Street strategists are turning increasingly bullish on equities, signaling renewed confidence in the market's trajectory through the second half of 2025. Several firms raised their S&P 500 year-end targets to the 6,300-6,500 range over the past month. Citi is the latest strategist to get more bullish on the S&P 500. Its analyst lifted the year-end target for the benchmark index to 6,300, citing "renewed confidence in the AI-related opportunity" and "improved earnings growth expectations" headed into next year. Deutsche Bank last week boosted its target to 6,550, while JPMorgan revised its target to 6,000 from 5,200. Goldman Sachs lifted the year-end forecast to 6,100 and UBS to 6,000. The target price for the S&P 500 at Barclays is now 6,050. Several strategists, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citi, believe the worst-case scenarios tied to macroeconomic uncertainty, including tariff escalations and labor market deterioration, may have already played out or are being priced in. Both VOO and IVV have a Zacks ETF Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and SPY has a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy), suggesting their outperformance to continue in the weeks ahead. While the current momentum is encouraging, ongoing uncertainties around trade policies and economic indicators suggest that volatility may persist. Concerns around Trump's proposed tax-and-spending mega bill and its long-term implications on the federal deficit are clouding the fiscal outlook (read: What's Next for S&P 500 ETFs?

S&P 500 Turns Green in 2025: ETFs to Buy on Upbeat Prospects
U.S. stocks rose on May 13, 2025, buoyed by strong gains in the tech sector after new inflation data hinted at easing price pressures in April. Optimism surrounding a temporary U.S.-China trade truce also contributed to the market's upward momentum. A combination of encouraging news drove the S&P 500 to erase its 2025 losses. The index is now up by 0.3% in the year-to-date frame. This marks a dramatic reversal from just over a month ago, when the index had fallen to the 2025 lows. The current rally represents the fastest recovery from a 15% year-to-date drop since 1982, according to Bespoke Invest, as quoted on Yahoo Finance. Against this mixed backdrop, investors may track S&P 500 ETFs like Vanguard S&P 500 ETF VOO, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF IVV, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY and Invesco S&P 500 Momentum ETF SPMO. Tech giants led Tuesday's rally, with NVIDIA NVDA gaining nearly 6% to once again cross the $3 trillion market capitalization threshold. The company benefited from renewed optimism in the AI and semiconductor space, fueled by positive trade developments. Other members of the 'Magnificent 7' also posted gains. Coinbase COIN soared about 24% after being added to the S&P 500, becoming the first cryptocurrency exchange to join the benchmark index. The move is being tagged as a landmark moment for the crypto sector. April's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report revealed the lowest annual inflation rate since 2021, signaling no immediate price pressures despite earlier tariff volatility. However, economists noted the data is unlikely to change the Federal Reserve's cautious approach. Bond markets are now pricing in a potential 0.25% rate cut in September, a shift from the earlier expectations for a June move. President Trump took to Truth Social to pressure the Federal Reserve for rate cuts, citing cooling inflation and lower consumer prices. Investment banks are turning more optimistic on U.S. stocks following the 90-day U.S.-China tariff truce. Goldman Sachs raised its year-end S&P 500 target to 6,100 from 5,900, while Yardeni Research lifted its forecast to 6,500, up from a previous call for 6,000, as quoted on Yahoo Finance. Morgan Stanley shares the same view as that of Yardeni. The most bullish forecast comes from Wells Fargo, which predicts that the S&P 500 will close out 2025 at 7,007. Fundstrat predicts it at 6,600. Analysts cited stronger economic growth, fewer recession risks, and reduced tariff pressure as the key factors behind the upgrade. Apart from SPY, VOO and IVV, investors can play the growth part of the index with SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF SPYG and the value part of the index with SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Value ETF SPYV. SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF Fund SPYD is a good bet for the dividend plays of the index. Investors can also bet on the leveraged S&P 500 ETFs like Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares SPXL and ProShares Ultra S&P500 SSO, if the index manages to record some gains in 2025. However, if the S&P 500 falls by any chance, inverse ETF ProShares Short S&P500 ETF SH will rise. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
