EquityClock\u2019s Stock Market Outlook for November 4th<\/sup><\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the weak payroll report for October, the bond market sold off surprisingly hard, resulting in a break of rising trendline support on the Aggregate Bond Fund. See:<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Primary focus this week is on results from the U.S. election on November 5th<\/sup><\/b>. Consensus calls for a \u201cdead heat\u201d for election of the President and the House of Representative and a narrow win by the Republicans for the Senate. Chances are high that final results will not be determined this week. Multiple recounts are anticipated and will be challenged. Current volatility by U.S. equity indices (based on the VIX Index) is expected to remain elevated until final results become apparent.<\/p>\n

The other important focus this week is on the FOMC update on interest rates released on Thursday<\/b>. Consensus calls for a 0.25% decline in the Fed Fund Rate. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consensus for Earnings and Revenues by S&P 500 companies<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Source: www.factset.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Frequency of third quarter corporate reports has passed its peak.<\/b> Seventy percent (350 companies) have reported to date. Results released to date prompted analysts to raise their earnings and revenue estimates slightly. Consensus calls for a 5.1% year-over-year earnings increase (up from 3.6% last week thanks to higher than consensus results released by Meta Platforms and Amazon) and a 5.2% year-over-year revenue increase (up from 4.9% last week).<\/p>\n

A word of caution!<\/b> Consensus for third quarter earnings remains significantly lower than the 11.3% year-over-year earnings gain recorded in the second quarter. <\/p>\n

Earnings and revenue gains accelerate in the fourth quarter, but at a slightly lower rate. <\/b>Consensus calls for a 12.7% earnings increase (down from a 13.7% increase last week) and a 4.8% revenue increase (down from 4.9% last week).<\/p>\n

For all of 2024<\/b>, consensus calls for a 9.3% earnings increase and 5.0% revenue increase, unchanged from last week.<\/p>\n

Consensus for earnings gains in 2025 remains elevated, but at a slightly lower rate.<\/b> First quarter earnings are expected to increase 13.0 % on a year-over-year basis (versus a 13.4% increase last week) and revenues are expected to increase 5.3% (versus a 5.4% increase last week). Second quarter earnings are expected to increase 12.2% (versus a 12.6% gain last week) and revenues are expected to increase 5.5% (versus 5.3% last week). For all of 2025 earnings are expected to increase 15.1% (versus a 15.2% increase last week) and revenues are expected to increase 5.7% (versus 5.8% last week).<\/p>\n
