Goldman Sachs raises emerging markets' target on AI-driven China rally

Goldman Sachs raised its target price for emerging markets stocks on Thursday, projecting that the AI-powered rally in Chinese equities could boost other markets as well. The brokerage raised its 12-month target for MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 3%, reaching 1,220 from 1,190, indicating an 11% potential upside from current levels. The increase reflects Goldman Sachs’ recent adjustment to its MSCI China target, driven by the impact of AI adoption on valuations through earnings, multiples and portfolio flows.
