Note: The following is an excerpt from this week’s Earnings Trends report. You can access the full report that contains detailed historical actual and estimates for the current and following periods, please click here>>>
Here are a Few of the key points:
- Earnings growth is expected to decelerate in the current and coming periods on account of tough comparisons.
- The revisions trend has lately been negative, with estimates for the current period coming down modestly. This follows the consistently positive revisions trend over the preceding six quarters.
- Total S&P 500 earnings for the first quarter of 2022 are expected to be up +3.7% from the same period last year on +9.5% higher revenues. This would follow the +32.2% growth in earnings on +15.8% growth in revenues in 2021 Q4.
- Estimates for full-year 2022 have stabilized in recent weeks, after starting to weaken towards the end of 2021 Q4. Current 2022 earnings estimates are up +2.6% since the start of October 2021, but up only +0.7% on an ex-Energy basis.
The overall earnings picture has been very strong lately, with the growth rates as well as the absolute dollar totals at very high levels. The growth pace decelerates significantly in the following periods, as you can see in the chart below that provides a big-picture view of earnings on a quarterly basis.
The chart below shows the overall earnings picture on an annual basis, with the growth momentum expected to continue.
We remain positive in our earnings outlook, as we see the recent negative shift in the revisions trend as transitory Omicron-related factors.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
