The third-quarter (Q3) earnings reporting cycle is in full swing. Investors have already shifted their focus from Fed and Russia and put emphasis on earnings releases.

Why to Follow Revenue Growth This Reporting Cycle?
For Q3, total earnings are expected to grow 2.0% from the same period last year on 10.7% higher revenues as per the Earnings Trends issued on Nov 2, 2022. Earnings growth will likely trail revenue growth in the coming quarters. For Q4 and Q1 of 2023, earnings growths are likely to be negative 2.5% and 1.3% over 5.4% and 4.5%, respectively.
For Q3, six out of the Zacks classified 16 sectors of the S&P 500 will likely witness a double-digit growth in revenues. Further, investors should note that sales are harder to be influenced in an income statement than earnings. A company can land up on decent earnings numbers by adopting cost-cutting or some other measures that do not speak for its core strength. But it is harder for a company to mold its revenue figure.
Below, we highlight five sectors and their related ETFs that could be used to book some profits on revenue growth potential.
