S&P 500 earnings strong but tech shares fall after beats, Bloomberg data shows
A r/stocks post citing Bloomberg data says this is shaping up to be one of the ten strongest earnings seasons on record, with 83% of companies beating EPS estimates versus a historical average of around 75%. It says strong results have not lifted share prices, with more than 90% of Technology and Communication services stocks beating estimates but only 35% and 18% trading higher after reporting. The post also notes forward multiples have fallen sharply since June 30 even as earnings estimates rose for Memory, AI Infrastructure and Semiconductors.
