Larry Berman: Valuation for U.S. large caps has never been higher VIDEO SIGN OUT Historically, the last show of the year I do my fearless forecast for the coming year. This year, it is a bleak from a pure valuation perspective. But from a liquidity perspective, itâs up, up, and away. Our first table shows the Street has an average 23.69 multiple on 172.50 gives you an average S&P 500 target of 4085 for yearend 2021. JP Morgan is the high at 4,400 with several at the low of 3,800. The historic average is 16.5 and even if we account for the cheap cost of money and call it a 20x fair value multiple, we struggle to get to 3,500. The market closed last week above 3,700.
