REUTERS\/Carlo Allegri\/File Photo<\/figcaption><p>In raising his price target for the index to 4,825 points, Wells Fargo analyst Christopher Harvey said S&amp;P 500 firms had so far seen their earnings per share forecasts raised by 21% \u201cand the trend shows no sign of abating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the second-quarter U.S. reporting season nearly completed, Refinitiv data shows that about 87% of S&amp;P 500 companies have beaten analysts\u2019 profit expectations, the highest on record.<\/p>\n<p>The stunning rebound in corporate profits and a loose monetary policy by the Federal Reserve have helped Wall Street\u2019s main indexes hit new highs following the coronavirus-driven crash last year.<\/p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 has more than doubled since its pandemic-lows in March 2020, although gains have recently been capped by fears the Fed could begin to taper its massive stimulus program sooner than expected. The index is up about 19% so far this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf and when the Fed does finally utter the T-word (taper), we would expect the market to take a step back,\u201d Harvey said in the note to clients.<\/p>\n<p>All eyes this week are on the Fed\u2019s annual Jackson Hole symposium this week. [.N]<\/p>\n<p>UBS analysts also raised their S&amp;P 500 targets for end-2021 to 4,600 from 4,500 and introduced an end-2022 target of 5,000 in a note published on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 31 years, there have been nine instances where the S&amp;P 500 rallied 10% in the first eight months of the year followed by an average 8.4% climb over the final four months, Wells Fargo analysts said.<\/p>\n<p>August and September have been the two weakest months of the year for equities over the last decade, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/wells-fargo-markets-research\/sp-500-to-rise-another-8-through-2021-end-wells-fargo-idUSL4N2PV2TL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) &#8211;
