The latest A-share target prices from six major foreign institutions—including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and UBS—are now available!

Goldman Sachs recently noted in its global equity and China macroeconomic outlook that although stock gains in 2026 may fall short of those in 2025, the global bull market is likely to persist, supported by earnings growth and economic expansion. It forecasts China’s real GDP growth at 4.8% in 2026—above the market consensus of 4.5%. Regarding concerns about an AI bubble and China’s property sector, Goldman offered the following views: 1. Is there an AI stock bubble? Overall, market enthusiasm for AI remains strong. However, this does not imply an excessively severe AI bubble. Although large tech stocks have surged, their valuations are not as extreme as during past bubbles. One metric illustrating this is the valuation gap between the five largest companies in the S&P 500 and the remaining 495 constituents—a gap significantly narrower than during prior cycles, such as the peak of the 2000 tech bubble. 2. Has the property market stabilized? The real estate market has yet to show signs of bottoming out. Housing inventory remains elevated, and several major developers continue to face stringent financing conditions. Goldman expects the drag of the property sector on annual real GDP growth to narrow each year over the coming years. According to our tally, since the start of 2026, Goldman Sachs has issued new ratings on 55 A-share companies, including 32 ‘Buy’, 14 ‘Neutral’, and 9 ‘Sell’ recommendations.
