  • The S&P 500 is on track to gain 28% this year after a dismal 2022, Oppenheimer said.
  • The investment bank raised its price target for the benchmark index to 4,900.

The S&P 500 is on track to gain as much as 28% this year, according to Oppenheimer's chief market strategist John Stoltzfus.

Stoltzfus, who has made the case for a huge stock market rebound since January, raised his S&P 500 target for the year to 4,900. That implies an 8% rise from current levels and a 28% increase from levels at the beginning of the year.
