The S & P 500 is looking at a strong – and notably expensive – finish to the year, but there may still be room to grow from here.
Heading into 2025, the broad market index is trading at a historically expensive price-to-earnings ratio of 22.3, Wells Fargo found.
However, Wells Fargo analyst Christopher Harvey is sticking to his 2025 S & P 500 target of 7,007, which indicates 15.8% upside potential from Thursday's close.
The S & P 500 has become "growthier" since that period, according to Harvey.
Investors also shouldn't be too disappointed by some companies' initial soft guidance for 2025, Harvey added.
