Listen "2Q23 Halftime Report"
Episode Synopsis
Today in the podcast, we take a deep dive into the stats and commentary for 2Q23 reporting season, based on data through July 28th when 51% of S&P 500 results were in. Three big things you need to know: First, the stats have improved since our last update and we’re now on track for a more solid reporting season. Second, in terms of the sectors that are shining, Energy and Materials continue to rank highly in terms of stock price reactions to EPS beats, but Tech is also standing out positively on some stats. Third, in terms of commentary, the level of conversation around prior headwinds like inflation continues to dissipate, while topics like AI, inventory destocking, and normalization have been in focus. In the ongoing discussion of outlooks and current conditions, commentary has been mixed though consumers are still described as resilient.
