With more than 60% of the Q3 results already out, earnings growth for the quarter is on track to turn positive despite the significant Energy sector drag.
Given the emerging consensus on the 'soft-landing' outlook, one can expect this favorable turn in the overall earnings picture to strengthen further as companies report Q3 results and share trends in underlying business.
We are off to a good start in the Q3 earnings season, though the focus at this early stage has been largely on the Finance sector. With a flurry of reports slated to come in the weeks ahead, can the positivity continue?
The coming reports from the big banks will highlight multiple profitability headwinds. Still, sentiment surrounding the group remains so weak that even modestly positive results and commentary could push them higher.
For 2023 Q3, total S&P 500 earnings are currently expected to be down -2.2% from the same period last year on +0.8% higher revenues. How will the market react?
We have regularly been flagging the steady improvement in the revisions trend since April 2023, with the trend becoming more entrenched in recent months.
For 2023 Q3, total S&P 500 earnings are currently expected to be down -1.6% from the same period last year on +0.8% higher revenues. What else can investors expect?
The earnings revisions trend has notably stabilized as of late, with estimates for several key sectors increasing. This outlook remains inconsistent with the long-feared 'earnings cliff' narrative.
For the 335 S&P 500 companies that have reported Q2 results, total earnings are down -9.8% from the same period last year on +0.3% higher revenues. Soon, we'll hear from market heavyweights Apple and Amazon.
The picture emerging from the Q2 earnings season is one of continued resilience and strength, with an above-average proportion of companies beating estimates and providing reassuring guidance.
Earnings estimates for Q2 came down as the quarter got underway, though the magnitude of cuts to estimates was notably below what we saw in other recent comparable periods.
Earnings estimates in the aggregate for the S&P 500 index have come down only a touch since the start of April, with several sectors starting to see positive estimate revisions.
Earnings estimates in the aggregate for the S&P 500 index have come down only a touch since the start of April, with a number of sectors starting to see positive estimate revisions.
The Zacks Construction sector has been experiencing a trend reversal lately, with estimates for the group notably moving higher since the start of April 2023.
The earnings picture defied the skeptics again in the 2023 Q1 cycle, with companies not only handily beating estimates but also providing reassuring enough guidance for the current coming quarters.
