With 92% of S&amp;P 500 companies now reporting, the S&amp;P 500\u00ae growth rate looks like it will settle around 5.4% according to FactSet.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All major indices performed relatively well, the Dow Jones Industrial Average with an 8-day winning streak, due to a combination of better-than-expected earnings and the belief that interest rate cuts are still in play this year. That sentiment was further promoted on Thursday when weekly jobless claims came in at 231k for the week ending May 4, the highest reading since August.<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;Those results jived with April Nonfarm payrolls, unemployment and wage growth data reported last week. All readings showed that overall the US labor market is starting to soften. In particular, investors were happy to see wage growth falling to 3.9%.<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;The Fed often cites 3% wage growth as being consistent with their 2% inflation goal.<sup>4<\/sup>&nbsp;The CME FedWatch tool now places the likelihood of a September rate cut at over 60%.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite signs that inflation may be starting to cool, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index published Friday showed that higher prices remained a top concern of US shoppers in May. The initial reading for the month came in at 67.4, down significantly from 77.2 in April.<sup>6<\/sup>&nbsp;Expectations for inflation were also higher with the one-year inflation outlook increasing 0.3 percentage points MoM to 3.5%, the highest level since November 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ceo-uncertainty-remains-high-as-q1-earnings-season-comes-to-a-close-nbsp\">CEO Uncertainty Remains High as Q1 Earnings Season Comes to a Close&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After falling to its lowest level in its nine years of existence last quarter, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/late-earnings-report-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Late Earnings Report Index<\/a>, our proprietary measure of CEO uncertainty, was back up for the Q1 earnings season.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LERI tracks outlier earnings date changes among publicly traded companies with market capitalizations of $250M and higher. The LERI has a baseline reading of 100, anything above that indicates companies are feeling uncertain about their current and short-term prospects. A LERI reading under 100 suggests companies feel they have a pretty good crystal ball for the near-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official post-peak season LERI reading for Q1 (data collected in Q2) stands at 157, well above the baseline reading, suggesting companies are feeling less certain about economic conditions than they were at the beginning of the year. As of May 10, there were 107 late outliers and 62 early outliers.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"678\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/240510WSHLERI-1100x678.png\" alt=\"Late Earnings Report Index\" class=\"wp-image-206622 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/240510WSHLERI-1100x678.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/240510WSHLERI-700x431.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/240510WSHLERI-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/240510WSHLERI-768x473.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/240510WSHLERI.png 1188w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/678;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Wall Street Horizon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-retail-parade-on-deck\">Retail Parade on Deck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This week begins what\u2019s often referred to as the retail earnings parade portion of the reporting season.

This is a week later than expected, and a week later than the athletic apparel company reported last year. It\u2019s important to note, however, that the company could still be finding it\u2019s reporting footing since switching to a fiscal year end (FYE) of March 31 from the previous FYE of Dec 31. That change went into effect last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not this later-than-usual date is indicative of \u201cbad news\u201d to come on the upcoming call, or just the continued transition to a new fiscal calendar, is unknown at this time. However, expectations for this name have been better. According to FactSet, FQ4 EPS for UA is anticipated to show a YoY decline of 56%, while revenues are expected to fall 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*<em>Wall Street Horizon DateBreaks Factor: statistical measurement of how an earnings date (confirmed or revised) compares to the reporting company&#8217;s 5-year trend for the same quarter.
