We expect this favorable revisions trend to accelerate in the coming months as start looking past the pandemic.\nThe positive revisions trend is broad-based, with Q1 estimates for 10 of the 16 Zacks sectors going up over the last three months, with estimates for the Autos and Energy sectors more than doubling over that time period.\nOther sectors experiencing positive estimate revisions include Basic Materials, Construction, Industrial Products, Technology and Finance.\nOn the negative side, estimates have come down the most for the Transportation sector, with the Consumer Discretionary and Aerospace sectors also suffering estimate cuts.\nThe sectors with positive earnings growth in Q1 include: Finance (+45.9% earnings growth), Technology (+21.8%), Autos (+200.6%), Retail (+40.1%), Medical (+16.2%), Basic Materials (+65.7%), Construction (+37%), and Industrial Products (+22.4%)\nThe weakest earnings growth in Q1 is expected to come from the Transportation (-161.9% earnings decline), Consumer Discretionary (-36%), and Energy (-7.9%).\nFor the Finance sector, Q1 earnings are expected to be up +45.9% on +1.1% higher revenues, as the group’s year-earlier results were dragged down by big loan-loss reserves at the banks as the pandemic got underway.\nFor the Technology sector, Q1 earnings are expected to be up +21.8% from the same period last year on +17% higher revenues.\nLooking at the calendar-year picture for the S&P 500 index, earnings are projected to climb +24.3% on +8.7% higher revenues in 2021 and increase +14.9% on +6.5% higher revenues in 2022. This would follow a decline of -13.2% in 2020 on -2.2% lower revenues.\nThe implied ‘EPS’ for the S&P 500 index, calculated using current 2021 P/E of 23.5X and index close, as of March 16th, is $168.98, up from $135.89 in 2020. Using the same methodology, the index ‘EPS’ works out to $194.11 for 2022 (P/E of 20.4X). The multiples have been calculated using the index’s total market cap and aggregate bottom-up earnings for each year.\n\nFavorable Revision Trend\nRegular readers of our earnings commentary know that the revisions trend lately has been positive. In fact, we flagged the shift in the revisions trend effectively in real time in July 2020, as the economy started coming out of the pandemic-driven lockdowns.\nThis favorable trend continued with respect to estimates for the first quarter of 2021, as the chart below shows.\n\nEstimates have gone up the most the Energy and Autos sectors, with Q1 earnings estimates for these two sectors more than doubling over the last three months. You can see this pronounced positive revisions trend in estimates for Exxon , Chevron , Ford and others from these two sectors.\nWe expect the favorable revisions trend to gain pace as companies start reporting Q1 results in mid-April and share what they see as trends in underlying conditions.\nThe chart below provides a big-picture view of earnings on a quarterly basis.\n\nWe remain positive in our earnings outlook, as we see the full-year 2021 growth picture steadily improving through the first half of the year as more of the population gets vaccinated.\nThe chart below shows the overall earnings picture on an annual basis.\n\nThe flow of recent economic readings about the retail spending, housing starts, and the factory space suggest that activity levels moderated in February, likely reflecting unusual weather and the lingering effects on the pandemic. But with the extraordinary vaccination effort steadily gaining pace and new stimulus checks heading out, it is reasonable to expect the economic growth trend to turn around meaningfully in the coming days.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":327389436,"gmtCreate":1616059391625,"gmtModify":1704790346280,"author":{"id":"3560384764055664","authorId":"3560384764055664","name":"Seowting","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327389436","repostId":1135850467,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":327334684,"gmtCreate":1616058094648,"gmtModify":1704790328462,"author":{"id":"3566800809486659","authorId":"3566800809486659","name":"Huishan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/983d32ca35339ced22384528fbe71d37","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"[微笑]&nbsp;","listText":"[微笑]&nbsp;","text":"[微笑]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327334684","repostId":1135850467,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":327392937,"gmtCreate":1616057138329,"gmtModify":1704790311889,"author":{"id":"3569106594738371","authorId":"3569106594738371","name":"Xaviert","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Pls help to comment and respond :)&nbsp;","listText":"Pls help to comment and respond :)&nbsp;","text":"Pls help to comment and respond :)","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327392937","repostId":1135850467,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":327391740,"gmtCreate":1616056910880,"gmtModify":1704790308482,"author":{"id":"3572770726668540","authorId":"3572770726668540","name":"Blackk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93d9bfa23cdea8af3308e34dedf35d9e","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327391740","repostId":1135850467,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":327305118,"gmtCreate":1616056410034,"gmtModify":1704790300380,"author":{"id":"3574850099281549","authorId":"3574850099281549","name":"lukecyb","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86b31ee917e065ab961b2a500b7103d6","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Making a community post","listText":"Making a community post","text":"Making a community post","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327305118","repostId":1135850467,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3824666,"gmtCreate":1616056773947,"gmtModify":1680780830274,"authorId":3573162818118967,"author":{"id":3573162818118967,"authorId":3573162818118967,"name":"Pepeflabs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb2ce4a85b6af8ab6f45834a991797c6","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":327305118,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"very nice","text":"very nice","html":"very nice"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":327309738,"gmtCreate":1616055915124,"gmtModify":1704790292862,"author":{"id":"3568594125296934","authorId":"3568594125296934","name":"Shadowlew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6357275d10be24b2ee1c3ce28cecbc6","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"V good","listText":"V good","text":"V good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327309738","repostId":1135850467,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":23,"commentSize":9,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko;
