Bloomberg survey forecasts Euro Stoxx 50 at 6,394 by end-2026

Sell-side consensus of this kind is a sentiment marker more than a forecast, and the fact that strategists are willing to publish end-2026 targets for the Euro Stoxx 50, DAX, FTSE 100 and Stoxx 600 together suggests a broadly constructive house view on European equities rather than a single-index call. The read-across matters most for European equity allocators and for anyone using index targets as a benchmark for regional positioning. Whether these targets survive contact with earnings and rate expectations over the next year is the open question.
