Goldman's 8,700 S&P target needs about 3% multiple expansion; ~19x forward is a 5.3% earnings yield vs a 5.12% 10-year

Goldman Sachs said Friday it expects the S&P 500 to hit 8,700 in 12 months, about 14% above Wednesday's 7,619 close, while earnings growth slows from 36% to 11%.

That leaves about 3% to come from a higher multiple. At roughly 19x forward earnings the index yields about 5.3%, barely above the 5.12% 10-year Treasury. That is a thin cushion for a call that needs the multiple to rise. Not financial advice
