Even so, the blended EPS growth expectation of 21.7% for Q4 is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, if you remove these seven companies, S&amp;P 500 growth for the quarter drops to 9.7%.<sup>3<\/sup><br>Just as Mag 7 growth looks to begin to slow, other sectors are coming back to life after a lackluster 2023 &#8211; 2024. The S&amp;P 500 minus Mag 7 goes from a current expectation of sub-10% EPS growth in Q4 to an anticipated increase of nearly 15% in the back half of 2025.<sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0Lagging sectors such as Industrials and Materials are expected to pick up in the latter half of the year, partially due to easier YoY comps.<br>As noted above, expectations remain high for the Magnificent 7 this earnings season. We\u2019ve seen what happens to big tech stocks when results don\u2019t impress. For the Q3 2024 earnings season, despite beating expectations on the top and bottom-line, Meta, Microsoft and Apple, saw their stocks fall when other quarterly metrics or soft guidance disappointed investors.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250127-WeeklyEarningsGraphic1920x1400px-1100x802.png\" alt=\"Earnings Announcement's - Week of Jan 27\" class=\"wp-image-217839 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/802;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Wall Street Horizon<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-outlier-earnings-dates-this-week\"><strong>Outlier Earnings Dates This Week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Academic research shows that when a company confirms a quarterly earnings date that is later than when they have historically reported, it\u2019s typically a sign that the company will share bad news on their upcoming call, while moving a release date earlier suggests the opposite.<sup>5<\/sup><br>This week we get results from a number of large companies on major indexes that have pushed their Q4 2024 earnings dates outside of their historical norms. Six companies within the S&amp;P 500 confirmed outlier earnings dates for this week, three which are later than usual and therefore have negative DateBreaks Factors*. Those names are Kimberly-Clark Corp (KMB), Southwest Airlines (LUV), and PPG Industries (PPG). The three names with positive DateBreak Factors are Otis Worldwide (OTIS), Cigna Group (CI) and Chubb Limited (CB).<br><strong>Southwest Airlines<br><\/strong>Company Confirmed Report Date: Thursday, January 30, BMO<br>Projected Report Date (based on historical data): Thursday, January 23, BMO<br>DateBreaks Factor: -2*<br><br>*\u00a0<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. Negative means the earnings date is confirmed to be later than historical average while Positive is earlier.<\/em><br><br>Southwest Airlines is set to report their Q4 2024 results on Thursday, January 30, a week later than expected. While they are still adhering to their Thursday reporting trend, they have pushed their report into the 5th week of the year (WOY), after reporting in the 4th WOY for the last two years. This will be the latest LUV has reported for Q4 in ten years.<br>A variety of factors could be at play in this later reporting date. Despite operational challenges in 2022 (there is literally a Wikipedia page dedicated to this failure, entitled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2022_Southwest_Airlines_scheduling_crisis#:~:text=Computer%20technology,-Initial%20investigations%20said&amp;text=Antiquated%20computer%20infrastructure%20and%20software,members%20to%20adequately%20staff%20flights.\">2022 Southwest Airlines scheduling crisis<\/a>\u201d) that lead to several cancellations and unhappy customers, Southwest looks to have improved their services. Just last week they were named the second best airline in the US by the Wall Street Journal, after Delta.<sup>6<\/sup><br>A shake up in IR or CFO leadership can often lead to outlier dates. Earlier this year Southwest announced their long-time CFO, Tammy Romo, will be retiring on April 1 after being with the company nearly 25 years.<sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0A successor has not yet been announced, but this will be the last quarterly report with Romo at the helm.<br>Airline results have generally been mixed this season. First out the gate this season was Delta, kicking things off by handily beating sell-side estimates on the top and bottom-line, and with CEO Ed Bastian telling CNBC that 2020 is expected to be the \u201cbest financial year in our history.\u201d<sup>8<\/sup>\u00a0On the other hand, last week you had American Airlines giving lower than expected guidance for Q1 2025. EPS for that company would now show a loss of 20 &#8211; 40 cents, vs. the $0.04 expected by sell side analysts.<sup>9<\/sup>\u00a0On Thursday we\u2019ll see what side Southwest joins.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q4-earnings-wave\"><strong>Q4 Earnings Wave<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Q4 season getting started a little later this year, the peak weeks are expected to fall between February 3 &#8211; 28, with each week expected to see over 1,200 reports. Currently, February 27 is predicted to be the most active day with 872 companies anticipated to report. Thus far, only 53% of companies have confirmed their earnings date (out of our universe of 11,000+ global names), so this is subject to change. The remaining dates are estimated based on historical reporting data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"666\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250110WSHES-2-1100x666.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-217838 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250110WSHES-2-1100x666.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250110WSHES-2-700x424.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250110WSHES-2-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250110WSHES-2-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/250110WSHES-2.png 1283w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/666;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Wall Street Horizon<\/em><br>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted January 27, 2025 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/blog\/Can-the-Magnificent-7-Maintain-an-Upbeat-Earnings-Season\">Can the Magnificent 7 Maintain an Upbeat Earnings Season<\/a><br>1 Earnings Insight, FactSet, John Butters, January 24, 2025,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/advantage.factset.com\/hubfs\/Website\/Resources%20Section\/Research%20Desk\/Earnings%20Insight\/EarningsInsight_011725.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/advantage.factset.com<br><\/a>2 Earnings Insight, FactSet, John Butters, January 24, 2025,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/advantage.factset.com\/hubfs\/Website\/Resources%20Section\/Research%20Desk\/Earnings%20Insight\/EarningsInsight_011725.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/advantage.factset.com<\/a>\u00a0<br>3 Earnings Insight, FactSet, John Butters, January 17, 2025,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/advantage.factset.com\/hubfs\/Website\/Resources%20Section\/Research%20Desk\/Earnings%20Insight\/EarningsInsight_011725.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/advantage.factset.com<br><\/a>4 Earnings Insight, FactSet, John Butters, January 24, 2025,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/advantage.factset.com\/hubfs\/Website\/Resources%20Section\/Research%20Desk\/Earnings%20Insight\/EarningsInsight_011725.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/advantage.factset.com<\/a>\u00a0<br>5 Time Will Tell: Information in the Timing of Scheduled Earnings News, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Eric C.
