The Q3 earnings season is in its last leg with 423 S&P 500 members or 84.6% of the index’s total membership having already reported their quarterly results, as of Nov 4, according to the latest Zacks Earnings Preview report.
Per the report, approximately 72.8% of the companies posted positive earnings surprises, while 55.1% beat top-line expectations. Earnings of these companies are up 3.6% from the same period last year, while revenues have increased 2.4%.
The trend this earnings season indicates that we may finally see a positive earnings picture after five straight quarters of decline. The report projects that earnings for the total S&P 500 companies will improve 3% from the year-ago period, while total revenue will grow 1.5%. We will have a clearer picture by the end of this week.
Talking about the technology sector, per the Earnings Preview report, as of Nov 4, 86.7% of the sector’s total market capitalization in the S&P 500 index has already reported results. Total earnings of these tech companies are up 5% from the same period last year on 2.5% higher revenues, with 82.2% beating earnings estimates and 75.6% surpassing revenue expectations.
Apple Inc.’s (AAPL - Free Report) dismal results proved to be a drag on the overall performance of the sector. The company’s Q3 earnings were down 19% from the same period last year on 9% lower revenues. However, according to our model, if we exclude Apple, earnings for the rest of the companies that have reported to date are up 12.3% on 5.3% higher revenues.
As per the Earnings Preview report, technology earnings are expected to be up 3.9% in spite of 1% lower revenues.
