Earnings season is coming!
Although the big companies have not reported earnings, but make no mistake, its near.
Some companies have reported earnings this week for e.g. $BlackBerry(BB)$ [Spurting]
Nothing much to say about that [Blush]
The expectations for S&P 500 Q3 22 earnings growth have dropped from 9.8% (predicted in June 22) to 3.2%.
SPX Forward price to earnings (PE) ratio is expected to be 15.8x which is below the 5 year (18.6x) and 10 year (17x) PE.
That looks pretty fair value, unless the forward earnings growth drops more moving forward.
From the plot, we see that forward PE drops all the down to 13-14x in a recession. This is due to share price plummeting.
Last few days, SPX was hanging around 3600 level. This is a strong support because current rate hike and growth slow down have been priced in at this level.
More pessimistic guidance from companies this earnings session might break this support.
The general feel is more downside as growth slows. We see another technical support at 3534. I suspect SPX will slowly inch its way downwards to this level.
An absolute worse case for next 6 months will be 3234 double bottom support. A real unexpected crisis will bring it there e.g. currency crisis??
I'm so tempted to buy more SPY at this level because I can't really time the market. Well, let's see what happens tonight.
Any good news? Well, torrid September is over today.
Wait a minute, I thought the Great stock market crashed happened on 29 Oct 1929. [OMG] [Spurting] [Comfort]
