What\u2019s especially bullish as we enter the Q2 earnings season is the fact that Wall Street expectations have barely budged since the end of Q1. According to FactSet, S&amp;P 500 EPS growth is anticipated to hit 8.8% for the second quarter. This is down just ever so slightly from the 9.0% expectation on March 31.<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;This is pretty atypical as far as estimate revisions go. In response to more conservative corporate guidance, analysts tend to pull their estimates down by 3-4% in the weeks ahead of an earnings season. The fact that analysts mostly kept their estimates as is suggests that corporations believe they can surpass these expectations. If growth comes in at 8.8% it would be the highest growth rate in over two years, that\u2019s with eight of the eleven sectors anticipated to show YoY increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flipside, however, while earnings growth is expected to be a highlight of the Q2 season, revenue estimates still remains a little light. Large corporations continue to cost cut their way to profit growth, which is a fine short-term solution, but soon investors will want to see a return to robust revenue growth driving earnings. Q2 revenue growth is expected to come in at 4.6%.<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;Analysts have also barely touched that estimate, down from 4.7% expected on March 31, but it\u2019s important to note that Q1 2024 saw a trend of more revenue misses than the historical average. In Q1 only 60% of S&amp;P 500 names surpassed analyst expectations, well below the one, five and ten year average beat rate.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-up-this-week-big-banks\">Up This Week: Big Banks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In its usual fashion, Q2 earnings season will begin with the big banks, with JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), and Wells Fargo (WFC),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/jpmorgan-earnings-calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reporting on Friday.<\/a>&nbsp;While these banks struck a bit of a cautious note in their Q1 reports, recent commentary has sounded a bit more upbeat.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While similar headwinds were still in play for Q2, investment banking showed signs of rebounding. Citigroup\u2019s CFO Mark Mason recently spoke on the uptick of the investment banking business thanks to strong M&amp;A activity,<sup>4<\/sup>&nbsp;while Goldman Sachs (GS) President John Waldron noted that dealmaking was making a comeback thanks to investments in AI.<sup>5<\/sup>&nbsp;Overall we noted 84 IPO announcements in Q2 2024, the strongest pace since Q3 2022 saw 112 such announcements. M&amp;A announcements for the quarter totaled 98, just about with the prior three quarters, but otherwise a little light in the context of the last four years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors seem to like the banks as well, given that stock prices rose steadily throughout the quarter. Of the six big banks, JPMorgan Chase has seen the largest gains YTD of 35%, followed by Citigroup at 25% and Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo all just above the 20% mark. This is in comparison to the S&amp;P 500 which is up around 18% on the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/24Q2-Earnings-Season-Preview-First-Three-Weeks-1600-x-1900-px-2-1100x1306.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209105 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/1306;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Wall Street Horizon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q2-earnings-wave\">Q2 Earnings Wave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This season peak weeks will fall between July 22 &#8211; August 16, with each week expected to see over 1,000 reports.
