Barclays strategists have boosted their year-end outlook for the S&P 500 to 4,600 from 4,400.
The analysts cited strong earnings as a factor that would bolster the market.
“Consensus forecasts for future quarters have not been revised up despite the strong earnings surprise for the second quarter, continuing the trend of viewing each beat as a one-off event,” the analysts wrote, according to a MarketWatch report.
However, lofty valuations and faster-than-expected reduction of Fed bond purchases could be reasons for concern for the stock market, according to the Barclays analysts.
