Current earnings season
A 12.9% y/y rise in earnings alongside revenue growth of just 4.5% signals a significant improvement in operating margins among U.S. corporations, particularly in the technology and healthcare sectors.

The 74.5% beat rate suggests analysts continue to underestimate companies’ adaptability amid the ongoing trade war.
