Randy KirkTarget Price
$8,300
“8,300 is my number for the end of the year on the S&P.”
Thesis at the time
BullishRandy reiterates his year-end S&P 500 target of 8,300, based on the pattern that in a great year the index typically rises about 20%, applied to last year's high. He points to strong year-over-year earnings growth and a falling VIX as evidence the market is in 'risk-on' mode supporting further gains.
Key arguments
- Great earnings growth this year, possibly among the best or second-best year-over-year figures in history
- In strong years the S&P historically rises about 20-23%, which he applied to last year's high to derive his target
- VIX has fallen sharply (down 5% to 14.51), signaling risk-on sentiment supportive of further market gains
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Markets often decline in August/September of a midterm election year, which some believe could weigh on the index
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Acknowledges uncertainty about timing of moves to $200s (could be a week, month, or year)
- Notes stock may struggle around $150 resistance level
- Recognizes potential for profit-taking pullbacks
- States he doesn't always make predictions when lacking strong conviction
- Admits uncertainty about near-term price action around $150 support/resistance
- Mentions stock 'might go back down' from current levels
