UBS lifted its S&P 500 price target from 5,400 to 5,600, marking the highest target on Wall Street.
The new estimate stems from diminishing recession risk and strong earnings growth.
UBS also raised its estimate for earnings-per-share growth for 2024 and 2025.

Although UBS had upgraded its S&P target as recently as February, recent economic data has made that month's 5,400 forecast look too weak.
