Read MoreHide Full Article
As we enter one of the busiest weeks of the Q2 earnings season, the auto sector seems to be well placed. Nearly 27.3% of the sector’s companies had posted results as of Jul 22. These companies recorded 30.4% year-over-year growth in earnings and 7.8% in revenues, per our Earnings Preview report. In comparison, total S&P 500 companies that have reported so far posted an average decline in earnings and a 2.6% rise in revenues.
By the end of Q2, auto sector earnings and revenue growth is projected to be around 18.4% and 2.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, total S&P 500 earnings and revenues are expected to decline 3.4% and 0.5% year over year, respectively.
Revenues of auto manufacturers are being driven by strong sales in major markets like the U.S., Europe and China, in the first half of 2016. The high vehicle sales volumes are also boosting auto parts’ demand from original equipment manufacturers. The high volume of safety recalls is further driving volumes of parts' makers. However, sluggishness in some markets and the negative impact of foreign currency translation are some headwinds.
