S&P 500 Outlook Suggests Resilient but Moderated Performance in 2026

The S&P 500 is expected to deliver resilient but moderated returns in 2026, supported by continued AI spending, potential Fed rate cuts, and productivity gains. However, headwinds include a 16+ year bull market, PE expansion for three consecutive years, and slowing job growth. The outlook suggests modest single-digit returns rather than the strong performance seen in 2025.
