Breaking the range: We expect a sustained rally
We are raising our year-end 2009 S&P 500 price target to 1060, 13% above the current level. After trading in a 10% band for the past three months, our “Pop, Stall, & Sustained recovery” framework, sequential improvement in ex-Financials EPS, stabilization in profit margins, and higher forward EPS guidance all point to a rising market through 2009.
