<\/a><\/p>\nNote (click on the spreadsheet) how the expected 2025 EPS figure of $278.12 (as of this week), has added $2 since late March ’24 and $4 since the start of the year.<\/p>\n
The pattern is usually the opposite: there is usually a mild downward progression.<\/p>\n
None of this is advice or a recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing can involve loss of principal even for short time horizons. All EPS and revenue data sourced within is from LSEG.com.<\/p>\n
Summary \/ conclusion:<\/strong><\/em> Two giant retailers report this coming week – Home Depot (HD) and Walmart (WMT) – as well as Cisco Systems (CSCO) which is scheduled to report Wednesday, May 15, ’24.<\/p>\nSP 500 earnings continue to reflect a positive business environment for SP 500 companies. Even the 2026 SP 500 EPS estimate has been revised higher from $300 to $312 in the last 6 weeks. Eventually something will change the trend. It’s been remarkable how strong the US economy remains, at least reflected in SP 500 earnings.<\/p>\n
Nothing’s really changed. It’s been a remarkable run of solid economic data.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n
