Earnings Expectations are Falling. That’s a Good Thing
The first four months of the year were dominated by trade and economic policy uncertainty. But let’s not forget what ultimately matters most for stocks: corporate earnings.I’ll dive into some details below, but the high-level takeaway is that U.S. corporations held up relatively well in the first quarter, while also scaling back expectations for the quarters ahead. And I see this latter point as good news for stocks.As I write, roughly half of S&P 500 companies have reported Q1 2025 earnings, and the results show +14.0% year-over-year earnings-per-share (EPS) growth on +4.0% higher revenues. Approximately 72.3% of companies beat their EPS estimates, which is pretty much in line with historical averages.

No Sudden Moves in an Event-Driven Market
In last week’s Mitch on the Markets column, I offered readers a central takeaway:“
Selling out of the market today [April 5] substantially increases the chances of being whipsawed when a rally takes hold, which again, no one can know the precise timing of.
In the current environment, the setup is that any modicum of good news on trade will factor as a positive surprise for markets going forward, which will almost certainly trigger strong moves higher. Long-term investors simply cannot afford to miss these upswings.”What a difference a day can make.

President Trump has repeatedly stated that his goal is to increase US manufacturing, though only a few automakers have made commitments to boost their US businesses so far (and some that have did it before the tariffs were officially announced last month).
Many others have taken to raising prices, halting US shipments, or temporarily lowering their margins by absorbing tariffs.
