Julian Emanuel of Evercore ISI remains bullish on US equities despite a deepening tech selloff, reiterating an S&P 500 target of 9,000. He argues that skepticism and a shifting wall of worry create a contrarian opportunity, and that mega-cap tech names like Microsoft and Meta, which are in bear markets, will recover as earnings catch up with prices.
