Two 'Mag 7' members faced selling pressure following the release of their quarterly results, bringing the group's leadership under focus. Was the selling overdone?
We enter the heart of the Q1 earnings season this week, with results from four of the 'Mag 7' members scheduled to come. But can their results perk the market back up?
We see the Q1 results from the major banks as good enough; not great, but definitely not bad either. Next week, the cycle picks up notable steam, with 41 S&P 500 companies on the reporting docket. How will the market react?
At a time when the S&P 500 index is at or near its record level, the Finance sector's discounted valuation has to be one of the most attractive investment spots in the market. Next Friday, the big banks will really get the earnings cycle going.
2024 Q1 earnings are expected to be up +2.4% from the same period last year on +3.4% higher revenues, which would pencil in the third consecutive period of positive earnings growth. But what else should investors expect?
Q1 earnings are expected to be up +2.1% from the same period last year on +3.4% higher revenues, with the Technology sector again playing a big role in keeping the overall earnings picture positive.
2024 Q1 earnings are currently expected to be up +2.4% from the same period last year on +3.5% higher revenues, reflecting the third consecutive period of positive earnings growth. The Tech sector is poised to flex its power again, helping brighten the overall earnings picture in a big way.
Given their enormous earnings power and growth profiles, it is hard to argue with the group's market leadership. Of the bunch, only NVIDIA remains to report.
A big part of Tech's improved earnings outlook has been a function of more effective cost controls that have helped stabilize margins. What will the Q4 results show?
The picture emerging from the Q4 earnings season thus far has been good enough - not great, but definitely not bad either. Next week, we shift into a much higher gear, with 71 S&P 500 members scheduled to report.
We are off to a good enough start in the Q4 earnings season, though it may be hard to reach that conclusion from the seemingly 'noisy' big bank results.
The economy's resilience in the face of the Fed's extraordinary tightening has been a pleasant surprise. That said, it makes sense for growth to moderate going forward to reflect the cumulative effect of monetary policy tightening.
The economy's resilience in the face of the Fed's extraordinary tightening campaign has been a pleasant surprise, further reflected by upwardly revised GDP growth numbers for 2023 Q3.
We have started seeing signs of stress at the lower end of income distribution, and one can intuitively project moderation in consumer spending as the economy further slows down under the weight of tighter monetary conditions.
Estimates for 2023 Q4 and following quarters have started to come down, which follows a relatively stable revisions trend over the preceding six months.
Strong Q3 results from mega-cap Tech players have helped the aggregate Q3 earnings growth rate for the S&P 500 index turn positive in recent days. Regarding the 'Big 7', Apple and Nvidia now represent the final members of the group yet to report.
With several big-tech companies on deck to report September-quarter results this upcoming week, it's sure to be a busy period. But how do expectations currently stack up?
Commentary from the banks surrounding the economic outlook reflected tentativeness, citing continued downside risks but also acknowledging the economy's resiliency and increasing odds of a 'soft landing.'
The push higher in yields has been reflective of the higher-for-longer Fed view, which in turn has been driven by the U.S. economy's extraordinary resilience.
The Q3 reporting cycle has begun, with results from 16 S&P 500 members out as of September 29th. But the cycle will really pick up steam when the big banks start coming out with their quarterly numbers in mid-October.
We see the seemingly hawkish Fed posture as nothing more than an insurance policy that will come in handy should the recent favorable momentum on the inflation front start stalling.
The overall earnings picture has unfolded much more positively and favorably than many thought possible just a few quarters back. Are there surprises looming?
For Q3, S&P 500 earnings are currently expected to decline by -1.5% from the same period last year on +0.7% higher revenues. However, on an ex-Energy basis, earnings growth in Q3 would actually be positive.
