Expectations for Q3 earnings growth for the S&P 500 index are set at +5.1%, with revenues anticipated to rise by +6% compared to the same period last year. This would mark the lowest earnings growth since the +4.4% rate in Q3 2023. The Tech sector is projected to deliver a +11.9% increase in earnings on +12.4% higher revenues, significantly contributing to the overall earnings growth.
Since July, Q3 earnings estimates have improved for five out of 16 Zacks sectors, mainly driven by the Tech and Finance sectors, which together account for more than 50% of total earnings. However, 11 sectors have faced downward revisions, including significant declines in Medical, Transportation, and Consumer Staples.
This week, Oracle and Adobe will release their earnings reports for their fiscal quarters ending in August, marking the early stages of the Q3 earnings season. Upcoming results will provide insight into the Tech sector’s performance amidst current market dynamics.
