It’s looking increasingly like the calm before the earnings storm

MgdKy65If we learned anything from the disappointing Netflix (NFLX) earnings announcement on Monday evening, it’s that the current market is going to flip-flop day by day, earnings report by earnings report for the near-term. Of course, we’ll have a much clearer picture of the overall health of June quarter earnings by the time the closing bell rings this Friday, when 35 percent of the S&P 500 will have reported earning. Those same reports are going to give us a preview of the likelihood of the 13 percent earnings increase required to meet expectations for the second half of the year, or as we expect, many firms will be adjusting earnings downward.

Let’s just say we feel like we’re nearing the crest of the rollercoaster ride.

About the Author

Chris Versace, Chief Investment Officer
I'm the Chief Investment Officer of Tematica Research and editor of Tematica Investing newsletter. All of that capitalizes on my near 20 years in the investment industry, nearly all of it breaking down industries and recommending stocks. In that time, I've been ranked an All Star Analyst by Zacks Investment Research and my efforts in analyzing industries, companies and equities have been recognized by both Institutional Investor and Thomson Reuters’ StarMine Monitor. In my travels, I've covered cyclicals, tech and more, which gives me a different vantage point, one that uses not only an ecosystem or food chain perspective, but one that also examines demographics, economics, psychographics and more when formulating my investment views. The question I most often get is "Are you related to…."
