S&P 500 Set for Double-Digit Gain on Big Tech, Wells Fargo's Equity Strategist Says
The bank's chief US equity strategist is Wall Street's biggest bull, with a year-end price target on the S&P 500 of 7,007, set in December. He's sticking to his call, implying an 11% gain from Friday's closing price of 6,296.79. His view is that Big Tech companies, which have been instrumental in the equity gauge's 27% surge since its April low, will keep the stock market soaring regardless of President Donald Trump's ever-changing trade policies.

(Reuters) -Equipment rental company United Rentals raised its annual revenue forecast on Wednesday but reported second-quarter profit below Wall Street estimates. The Stamford, Connecticut-based company benefited from construction end markets - infrastructure and non-residential, driven by robust spending on national megaprojects. However, an inflationary environment and rising costs further pressured company's margins, affecting profitability during the quarter. United Rentals now expects full-year revenue between $15.8 billion and $16.1 billion, up from its previous projection of $15.6 billion to $16.1 billion. The company said that it has raised its planned share repurchases for 2025 by $400 million, bringing the total to $1.9 billion. United Rentals reported an adjusted profit of $10.47 per share for the quarter ended June 30, missing analysts' average estimate of $10.54 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. Total revenue for the quarter was $3.94 billion, compared to analysts' expectations of $3.9 billion.
