First-quarter S&P 500 earnings show double-digit profit growth despite geopolitical risks and shifting market focus to economic data.
S&P 500 companies are poised for double-digit earnings growth in the first quarter, defying concerns over geopolitical tensions, including the Iran conflict. Profit reports have largely exceeded expectations, reinforcing market resilience amid broader economic uncertainties.
The pace of earnings releases slows this week as investors shift attention to economic data, though key reports from Plug Power, Hims & Hers, and others remain in focus. Last week’s semiconductor results highlighted artificial intelligence as a persistent driver of market performance.
Upcoming reports include Constellation Energy, Barrick Mining, Cisco Systems, and Alibaba, with traders monitoring guidance for signs of sustained momentum.
