There’s no doubt that markets are in the midst of one of the greatest bull markets of our time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500 have risen more than 300% from their March 2009 panic-selling lows, and the gains in 2017 were up over 25% on the Dow and up more than 19% on the S&P 500. Some of the biggest winners in 2017 were the FAANG stocks, which have been a favorite of many investors and a staple for many portfolios. The question is where these big names go from here.

As we all know, FAANG stands for Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), formerly known as Google. In 2017 these stocks saw an average return of roughly 50%, and with 2018 off to a promising start they could gain even more as this rally continues.

24/7 Wall St. just came out with its annualized forecasting bias for the stock market in 2018. It looks like DJIA at 26,400 and at least 2,855 on the S&P 500 are now the baseline targets for this year.

It’s also worth pointing out that on the heels of tax reform, Credit Suisse is now targeting 3,000 and Oppenheimer is targeting 2,900 for the S&P 500 in 2018. At the end of 2017, the forward valuation for the S&P 500 Index was 18.5 times to 19.0 times expected earnings per share.

Keep in mind that while analysts may not be calling for much upside in these stocks currently, we can expect that these price targets will rise over time.
