Research Context & Quantitative Modeling Assumptions
Ed Yardeni (President of Yardeni Research) reduced his year-end S&P 500 forecast from 8,200 to 7,900, pointing to building recessionary headwinds over the next 3 to 6 months. This modeler quantifies that pivot by mapping earnings momentum against valuation compression and downside risk weighting.
