Mostly positive EPS surprises in 1Q Rating Changes: ICICI Bank, Meta Platforms, WW Grainger, Deere & Co, Factset Research Systems , Morgan Stanley. In the US, 95% of the companies in the S&P 500 released their 1Q results. 78% of the companies reported a positive earnings surprise. Thus, the earnings decline for the S&P 500 was only -2.2% y/y, significantly better than expected at the beginning of the quarter. (-6,6%). In Europe, 84% of Stoxx 600 companies reported 1Q results. Earnings were higher than expected for 66% of the companies. Overall, profits rose by +9.5% y/y. The financials, technology, and utilities sectors in particular contributed to the growth with profit increases of around 50% y/y. It is apparent that with the expected end of interest rate hikes in the USA, investors are again significantly increasing the weighting of growth stocks (technology/healthcare/industry). We expect this trend to continue, especially as energy and commodity prices (including oil, gas, copper) fell, in some cases significantly, in Q2 and no trend reversal is apparent. Meta Platforms: Costs reduced and significant sales and earnings growth expected in 2023 SAP: Cloud revenue growth remains very strong in 2023 |
