Getting into the thick of the Q2 earnings season, we have seen releases from 317 S&P 500 members of the S&P 500 as of Jul 29, accounting for 73.5% of the index’s total market capitalization.

Although Q2 is still on track to be the fifth quarter in a row to record negative earnings growth, the rate of growth has improved modestly from last quarter’s levels. Similarly, even though estimates for the third quarter are still moving south, the magnitude of the fall has declined considerably. Nevertheless, growth remains problematic.

Based on the quarterly results of 84.6% of the Technology sector’s total market cap in the index that have been declared so far, performance of this space has been remarkably better than our expectations. Total earnings for these companies have dipped only 0.9% on 2.1% higher revenues, with a whopping 83.3% beating earnings estimates and 77.8% exceeding top-line expectations.

Total earnings in the tech sector are now expected to be down 0.1% on 2.7% higher revenues, marking an improvement over last quarter’s 4.5% earnings decline on 0.4% higher revenues.

Among the companies slated to report this week, let’s find out what’s in the cards for these five Electronics stocks, all of which are scheduled to report results on Aug 3.
