The forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for the S&P 500 SPX climbed above 22 this week , approaching its highest level in nearly four years .

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon expressed concerns over the elevated valuation of the U.S. stock market.

The Magnificent Seven group of technology companies will remain “the main engine” driving earnings growth in 2025 , analysts say.

A 15% earnings-growth expectation for the S&P 500 in 2025 leaves headroom for stocks to advance this year , analysts said.

However, Northern Trust’s Nixon and her team anticipate that the contribution from strong expected earnings growth this year may be offset somewhat by a contraction in today 's high market multiple.
