“Following Q2 earnings season, which saw a higher-than-expected number of EPS misses and downwardly revised guides, our survey this quarter reveals heightened concerns around growth and earnings with a greater emphasis on margins. Channel checks indicate continued subdued demand in Q3 amid the looming U.S. Election and an increasingly strapped consumer, while AI, infrastructure stimulus, and cooling inflation offer support. While surveyed investors anticipate a choppy Q3 with more bracing for EPS misses and another round of lowered guides, continued election-induced paralysis and recent events, including the short-lived but stymying port strike, devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and Middle East war escalation are likely to factor into Q4 outlooks. Despite the two largest global economies getting a shot in the arm with the U.S. Fed’s 50 bps rate cut and China’s stimulus efforts, there is an increasing level of pessimism as we round out 2024. As investors sift through the increasingly turbulent landscape, focus remains on demand and order rates, expense management, and disinflation trends while interest in corporate downturn playbooks spikes”
