A lot of banks are betting on a European stock boom in 2015.

Even Goldman Sachs, which is a little more pessimistic than some other investment banks, is betting on a significant climb for European equities.

Goldman is expecting the Eurostoxx 600 to hit 440 in 2018, according to its 2015 European outlook, out Thursday. That's about a 30% boost and would push the index to record levels.

By the end of next year, it should be up to 365.

Here's a snapshot of what Goldman is forecasting:
