We are in the middle of the Q2 earnings season with results from 208 S&P 500 members, representing 50.5% of the index’s total market capitalization, already out.
So far, total earnings of these 208 index members are down 4.7% year over year in spite of 0.4% higher revenues. However, 73.1% of the companies have managed to beat EPS estimates while 51.9% have exceeded top-line expectations.
