BofA Strategist Raises S&P 500 Target but Warns of Interest Rate Risks and Correction
Bank of America equity strategist Savita Subramanian has raised her year-end target for the S&P 500 index from 7,100 points to 7,400 points, according to a report from Jin10 Data on September 15. Despite the upward revision, Subramanian remains one of Wall Street's most bearish strategists and warned that the index remains vulnerable to interest rate risks. The new year-end target implies a 3.4% decline from the index's closing price last Friday. Over the next 12 months, she expects the S&P 500 to rise to 7,800 points, representing only about a 2% increase from recent closing levels. Speaking on Monday, Subramanian stated: 'We are entering a seasonally weak period, and in our view, the market correction is long overdue.' Her forecast remains among the most pessimistic on Wall Street, according to aggregated data from over 20 strategists surveyed by institutions for their end-2026 S&P 500 forecasts.
