It’s earnings season! The best of times for some, and the worst of times for others. But this quarter for many publicly traded companies, it’s very much leaning towards the best of times. So far, over 87% of corporations beat profit expectations. 77% did the same with revenue expectations. Earnings this period happen to be up 21% over last year. (Source) What’s leading the drive? Tech stocks. More than half of the equity market’s gains this year have been driven by tech. “As tech companies continue to dominate the equity market, analysts expect tech earnings to be up 23.8% on 10.7% higher revenues in the second quarter, which would follow 31.1% earnings growth on 13.1% revenue rise in the first quarter.” (Source) Before you go, a little bit of trading wisdom… “The secret to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefatigable and an undying and unquenchable thirst for information and knowledge.”–Paul Tudor Jones So feel free to use our partner site WhoTrades to get real time information from over 2,000 sources that you need to trade successfully.
