Q2 earnings are expected to increase by +5% with +4% higher revenues, a deceleration from previous growth. Earnings estimates have declined for 13 of 16 Zacks sectors since April, notably in Conglomerates, Autos, Transportation, Energy, Basic Materials, and Construction. Tech and Finance sectors have also seen cuts, but the trend has stabilized recently, possibly due to easing tariff uncertainty. Early results show 18 S&P 500 members with +3.1% earnings and +6.5% revenue growth. Notable recent releases include Nike beating expectations, while FedEx disappointed. Both companies face challenges, with Nike dealing with margin pressure and FedEx experiencing a decline in shares.
