Morgan Stanley’s Wilson Is Among Top Stock Bulls With Call for 16% S&P Rally

Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson became one of the most bullish voices on US stocks as he predicted a 16% rally for the S&P 500 Index over the next year underpinned by strong corporate earnings.

The bank’s chief US equity strategist expects the benchmark to trade around 7,800 points by end-2026. That’s among the highest targets from strategists tracked by Bloomberg, and would mean a fourth straight year of double-digit gains for the index.
