Version 0.34 (2024-04-21 11:24:57.778000)

updates: The earnings season started slow with only 41 S&P 500 companies reporting, with most of them being banks that exceeded earnings expectations. The pace is expected to pick up with 159 companies scheduled to report this week. The S&P 500 experienced a 3% decline for the week, leading to a 5.4% decrease quarter-to-date. Sales growth improved last week and is in line with expectations. Key companies such as Tesla, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Alphabet are scheduled to report earnings this week. Financial sector earnings are expected to surpass estimates, while the healthcare sector has underperformed. Sales growth is expected to benefit from solid nominal GDP growth for the first quarter. Blended earnings growth is currently at -0.5% year-over-year. Inflation concerns and economic growth uncertainties have impacted Treasury yields. The recent inflation surprises have challenged the narrative of a soft landing for the economy. The promise of artificial intelligence (AI) remains strong, but the high valuations of AI-related stocks have made them vulnerable to market fluctuations. The Federal Reserve's decision to hold off on rate cuts has prevented compounding inflation issues. The market is experiencing volatility and uncertainty, driven by inflation fears and economic growth prospects. The upcoming earnings reports from key companies will be closely watched to gauge the health of the economy and market sentiment. Investors are cautiously optimistic about the earnings season's potential impact on stock valuations and the overall market outlook.

Version 0.32 (2024-04-21 10:20:39.582000)

updates: Next week's earnings reports from Tesla, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Microsoft will be an important test for the US stock rally. These companies, known as the Magnificent Seven, led the S&P 500 to a 24% gain last year. The market's rally has slowed down this year, and disappointing earnings from these megacap stocks could give investors less reason to hold stocks. The S&P 500 has slid in recent weeks, halving its year-to-date gain to 5%, as inflation erodes the prospects for the Federal Reserve to cut rates this year. The performance of megacap stocks has diverged in 2024, with Tesla's shares tumbling about 40% and Meta Platforms' shares jumping over 40%. Six of the seven megacaps, excluding Tesla, are expected to post collective earnings growth of 42.1% in the first quarter. Earnings are expected to rise 9% for the full year for over 300 S&P 500 companies expected to report over the coming two weeks. The S&P 500's forward price-to-earnings ratio is at 20 times, well above its long-term average of 15.7.

updates: Earnings reports from Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, United Airlines, and Netflix. Retail sales data for March will also be released. Fears of sticky inflation may prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates, leading economists to predict that the Fed will hold rates steady until at least the fall. The first set of earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup showed declining net interest income. The market is looking for revenue growth and strong earnings to support the recent signs of an accelerating US economy.
