Key Points
Earning’s expectation for Q3 and Q4 fell heading into the earning’s reports, marking a pessimistic shift in investor sentiment and leaving a low bar for companies to clear.
With expectations falling and economic conditions better than most appreciate, there is opportunity for an upside surprise for Q4 earnings results.
Small earnings declines, such as those predicted today, often lead to positive forward returns as markets begin to discount improving earnings over the new few quarters.
Investing in financial markets involves a risk of loss and there is no guarantee that all or any invested capital will be repaid. Past performance neither guarantees nor reliably indicates future performance. The value of investments and the income from them will fluctuate with world financial markets and international currency exchange rates.
