Overall, 55% of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported actual results for Q1 2022 to date. Of these companies, 80% have reported actual EPS above estimates, which is above the five-year average of 77%. In aggregate, companies are reporting earnings that are 3.4% above estimates, which is below the five-year average of 8.9%. According to an article on FACTSET said that there are a higher-than-average number of companies beating estimates.   The article said: which said: “At this point in time, the percentage of S&P 500 companies beating EPS estimates is above the five-year average, but the magnitude of these positive surprises is below the five-year average. As a result, the index is reporting higher earnings for the first quarter today relative to the end of last week and relative to the end of the quarter. However, the index is also reporting single-digit earnings growth for the first time since Q4 2020. The lower earnings growth rate for Q1 2022 relative to recent quarters can be attributed to both a difficult comparison to unusually high earnings growth in Q1 2021 and continuing macroeconomic headwinds.”  Active companies in the markets today with current earnings out include:  EBET, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBET), Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), DoorDash Inc. (NYSE: DASH), MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM).

 

FACTSET continued: “Due to these positive EPS surprises, the index is reporting higher earnings for the first quarter today relative to the end of last week and relative to the end of the quarter. The blended (combines actual results for companies that have reported and estimated results for companies that have yet to report) earnings growth rate for the first quarter is 7.1% today, compared to an earnings growth rate of 6.5% last week and an earnings growth rate of 4.7% at the end of the first quarter (March 31).  Positive earnings surprises reported by companies in multiple sectors (led by the Information Technology, Health Care, and Communication Services sectors), partially offset by a negative earnings surprise reported by a company in the Consumer Discretionary sector, were responsible for the improvement in the earnings growth rate over the past week. Positive earnings surprises reported by companies in the Information Technology, Financials, Communication Services, and Health Care sectors, again partially offset by a negative earnings surprise reported by a company in the Consumer Discretionary sector, have been the largest contributors to the increase in the earnings growth rate since the end of the first quarter (March 31).”
