S&P 500 nears 8,000, but narrow rally leaves 62% of firms below 50-day averages

The S&P 500 is nearing 8,000, but the rally rests on a narrow base. The index closed at 7,744.06 on October 15, about 256 points short of the milestone and up roughly 13% this year. Third-quarter earnings are expected to rise about 30.6% from a year earlier, according to LSEG data. HSBC estimates growth falls to roughly 5% without the Magnificent 7 and technology and energy companies. Breadth is weak. Almost 62% of S&P 500 firms traded below their 50-day moving averages, and more than 40% of stocks were down for the year. Apple, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms report in the coming weeks. Barclays Private Bank's Julien Lafargue said "good is not going to be enough.

S&P 500 Q3 profits seen surging 31% as AI giants drive nearly two-thirds of growth

Analysts expect S&P 500 earnings to jump about 31% in the third quarter from a year earlier, with technology and AI-focused companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms driving nearly two-thirds of the rise. Energy companies are projected to post a roughly 115% profit increase, according to Reuters. Higher oil prices amid the US-Israeli war with Iran pushed American crude about 30% higher during the quarter. Growth looks weaker elsewhere. Consumer staples and real estate are expected to report the slowest year-over-year gains. Second-quarter earnings rose nearly 54%, the strongest growth since 2021, according to LSEG. Excluding mark-to-market gains at Alphabet and Amazon, growth was about 35%. Investors worry about the wider market if the AI boom slows.
