Good MorningEquities continue to tread water near all-time highs on Tuesday. The broad market S&P 500 traded within a very tight range but did manage to set a new all-time intraday high. The market is being supported by a robust earnings season and the outlook for earnings growth but held back by increasing risk to the outlook. While the average S&P 500 company is beating its consensus estimate by a wide margin, the index is facing an earnings cliff in the form of a greatly reduced pace of growth.
The next quarter’s earnings season is the first quarter of tough comparisons versus the pandemically-boosted quarters of 2020 and poses a big risk to the market. With the Delta variant rapidly spreading, and the threat to the global supply chain growing, there is a serious risk the S&P 500 will not match their earnings expectations in the second half of the year.
