CFRA raises S&P 500 year-end target to 8,050
CFRA is a research company that gives advice about investing in the stock market.
It follows a famous group of stocks called the S&P 500.
CFRA has a guess for how high this group of stocks will go by the end of the year, called a year-end target.
CFRA just made its guess bigger, to 8,050 points.
That means CFRA thinks stock prices will go up a lot before the year ends.
When experts believe prices will rise, they say they are 'bullish.'
CFRA is feeling more bullish now.
It is not alone — other companies have also raised their targets in recent weeks.
CFRA raised its S&P 500 year-end target to 8,050, becoming more bullish on the stock market.
The new target signals increased optimism from CFRA about market performance by year-end.
CFRA joined other firms that have been raising their stock market targets in recent weeks.
The raised target applies to the S&P 500 index's expected level at the end of the year.
CFRA's move follows a broader trend of firms revising their year-end targets upward recently.
