Tom Lee predicts the S&P 500 could reach 7,000-7,300 by the end of the year, despite potential headwinds such as an "inflation shock". However, his outlook is not without caution, as he also warns of possible bear market-like moves in the second half of 2026. Meanwhile, another analyst, Ed Yardeni, has made a more bullish prediction, forecasting the S&P 500 will hit 10,000 by 2029.
