Tom Lee from Fundstrat Global Advisors presents a bullish market outlook for 2026, forecasting an overall positive outcome despite potential drawdowns of up to 20%. He attributes past market suppression to 'extinction events' like COVID-19, supply chain issues, rapid inflation, and aggressive Fed rate hikes. He anticipates monetary easing to commence next year, supporting the market. His S&P 500 price target for 2026 is 7700, building on current levels of approximately 6850. He emphasizes the continued importance of large-cap tech and AI stocks for earnings growth, while also foreseeing growth in the broader S&P market (the other 490 stocks) as interest rates decline and the business cycle expands. Lee highlights a 'wall of worry' among investors, including concerns over AI valuations, which he deems 'absurd' in some cases but views as characteristic of exponential growth sectors. He draws parallels to past tech bubbles, where only a minority of companies succeeded but the overall sector outpaced the market. He also points to a long-term labor shortage (2018-2035) as a driver for technology adoption. For Bitcoin, he projects a target of $200,000 by January from its current level of $94,000, suggesting this could break the traditional four-year crypto cycle if it surpasses $125,000. He notes a recent significant crypto liquidity crisis on October 10th. His firm utilizes AI for data ingestion, but maintains human judgment in stock picking due to AI's current limitations in predicting complex future outcomes and market probabilities.
