As markets digest Donald Trump’s victory, one prominent Wall Street prognosticator is keeping his year-end S&P 500 Index target unchanged.

David Kostin, chief U.S. equity strategist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., sees the benchmark gauge ending 2016 at 2,100, about 60 points below its level as of 2:20 p.m. in New York. His forecast, tied for second most-bearish in a Bloomberg strategist surveyBloomberg Terminal, envisions limited fallout from a Trump presidency and says stocks are likely to resume their ascent in coming years.
