Odaily Planet Daily reports that Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine and Co-Founder of Fundstrat, stated that the S&P 500 index is expected to reach the range of 7,900 to 8,000 in August, representing a potential upside of approximately 3.6% from Wednesday’s closing level.
Lee believes the main factors driving the continued rise in U.S. equities include strong technical momentum, accelerating corporate earnings growth, and an expanding breadth of market gains. He remains bullish on semiconductors, software, Ethereum, and the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks, expecting AI-driven earnings growth to further improve market expectations for corporate profits in 2027.
Lee said that as AI-related investments continue to drive improvements in corporate efficiency and profit growth, the market may further raise future earnings forecasts, providing support for gains in U.S. stocks. (CNBC)
