because this market has become very concentrated among just a few players. goldmanhs has found that the top ten s&p 500 stocks make up 36% of the index's value. we've seen a similar situation play out in the past, including the late 1990s before the bursting of the.com bubble, and in 2019 and 2020 before covid. but still, this is a record level of concentration, according to goldman sachs. so as far as what all of this means, for as long as a.i. stays hot, we could keep seeing the markets go higher and higher and this will benefit passive investors, right? everyone who has their investment portfolios blindly tied to the s&p and other market indicators. you think about everyone who is a 401 k or college savings plan, but in the long run, it's not really healthy to have the market depend on the success of just a few players. it would be like an nfl team that can't score without their running back. what if the running back gets hurt or gets into a slump, right? you're out of luck and we have seen that play out in recent days where the mag seven stocks have fallen and t

goldman predicting the s&p will hit 6,500 by year-end of '25 our next guest expects the mag 7 to outperform but by aan sachs chief equity strategist david kosten is back with us you've been asked about your target the last few days you generally point to earnings growth as opposed to a multiple expansion. >> so in the last couple of years the pe multiple for the s&p 500, carl, has gone from 17 to about 22. so huge multiple expansion, we think about the market going forward, it's mostly going to be earnings growth in terms of our analysis so earnings growth we are looking around 11% earnings growth for 2025, 7% earnings growth in 2026 now, that's because most of the companies trade around fair value, not necessarily all companies but in aggregate pretty much close to fair value at this level, and 21.5 times multiple so the earnings growth and the point that's worth emphasizing is that the relative earnings growth between the mag 7 and the rest of the market is narrowing dramatically put some numbers on that you've got the mag 7 have earnings expectations for this year of around 33%, that's going to b

max, back in the day, i remember when we saw a flood of goldman sachs top executives joined the government, a lot of people saw it as a big puzzle, a way for them to defer paying their taxes. now it's the task guys are going to be directly involved in government activity. it is going to help the businesses, yes, that they have expertise in but they are also heavily invested and conflicted by. >> absolutely. i think this is really largely about elon musk. i mean, musk, by putting a huge amount of money into donald trump's campaign and kind of egging along the industry, that is giving him and really his allies in silicon valley just a ton of influence, influence that he has not had in 2016 when we saw a handful of buddies of peter teal get into sort of mid-level positions in the white house. this is something on another level and recent horwitz, again, these are allies of elon musk, major investors in x, you know, the old twitter, investors in x a i and just with a huge stake in sort of the future of a.i. and the policymaking around that. >> roger, what's your take on all of this? >> i total

goldman does remove their expectation for a january cut. >> yeah. goldman notes a pretty bullish. i think there's a sense that although you're not supposed to look through about what's supposed to happen, if you look at the data they currently have, which is that other than housing and what is pretty strong, but the look through is kind of like what david said at goldman which is that the animal spirit's really taking over, and the school business index is incredibly bullish, but what i'm finding, there are so many people who are coming out of the woodwork to say how bad the biden administration was for business, almost to the point you couldn't really talk about it ahead of time, and david, a lot of it is scone concentratede ftc. >> that's not a surprise to anybody who has been listening to us for the last four years. you have been talking about it nonstop. >> i had to relent because i was talking about it nonstop. >> yeah. there was definitely fewer deals perhaps getting done as a result of the regulatory pressure from both khan and jonathan as well at the -- >> cantor. >> at th
