Jim Thorne forecasts that the S&P 500 could reach 10,000 based on an earnings estimate of $440 and a multiple of 22-23. He further projects that with 15% earnings growth, the index could hit 14,000-15,000 by the next presidential election, suggesting markets could double within two years.
“No, I think I can get you easily $440 of earnings next year. You put a 22 to 23 multiple on that on the S&P get to 10,000.”
“You do, you from there, you do a 15% growth in earnings and you I can get you to 14 to 15,000 by the presidential election.”
“So you basically think stock markets are going to double before two years time.”
