S&P’s $8 Trillion Rally Will Be Tested by Tricky Earnings Season

S&P’s  Trillion Rally Will Be Tested by Tricky Earnings Season
SHARE

After a strong start to the year, traders are now facing a series of risks in the stock market. Economic fears, interest rate uncertainty, and election anxiety are all factors that could impact the market. However, one of the most critical variables that will determine the future of equities is corporate earnings.

The S&P 500 Index has seen a significant increase of around 20% in 2024, adding over $8 trillion to its market capitalization. This surge has largely been driven by expectations of monetary policy easing and strong profit outlooks. However, analysts have started to lower their expectations for third-quarter results. Companies in the S&P 500 are expected to report a 4.7% increase in quarterly earnings from a year ago, a decrease from earlier projections. This would mark the weakest increase in four quarters.

Adam Parker, founder of Trivariate Research, emphasized the importance of concrete data from corporates during this earnings season. Investors are particularly interested in whether companies are delaying spending, if demand has slowed, and if customer behavior has been affected by geopolitical risks and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Major companies are set to report their earnings this week, with Delta Air Lines Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Wells Fargo & Co. among the first to announce their results. Binky Chadha, chief US equity and global strategist at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., noted that while earnings seasons are typically positive for equities, the current strong rally and high positioning could lead to a more subdued market reaction.

Despite the obstacles facing investors such as the upcoming US presidential election, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, there is still room for optimism. Lowered earnings projections provide companies with the opportunity to exceed expectations. Ellen Hazen, chief market strategist at F.L.Putnam Investment Management, highlighted that estimates have become more realistic, making it easier for companies to beat earnings.

Overall, there are signs that US companies remain fundamentally resilient. A strengthening earnings cycle could offset weak economic signals and tilt the scales in favor of equities. The Fed’s easing cycle has historically been positive for US equities, with strong returns observed during rate-cutting periods, especially in non-recessionary environments.

In conclusion, while there are challenges ahead for the stock market, the outlook remains optimistic. As long as earnings do not disappoint, the Fed’s influence is expected to drive market performance in the coming months. With a focus on corporate earnings and guidance, investors will be closely monitoring the upcoming earnings season for insights into the future of the market.
