Q4 US EARNINGS GROWTH NOW SEEN ABOVE 14%; BROADCOM UP NEXT WEEK
Year-over-year estimated earnings growth for S&P 500 .SPX companies in the fourth quarter of 2025 broke above 14% in the past week, according to LSEG data Friday.
Nvidia's NVDA.O late Wednesday results surpassed high analyst expectations, but its stock has fallen sharply in the wake of the report amid concerns over overall artificial intelligence demand.
With results in now from 479 of the S&P 500 companies, estimated earnings growth is at 14.3%, up from 13.9% a week ago.
That 14.3% growth would still be below the 14.9% earnings growth for S&P 500 companies in the third quarter of 2025.
Earnings growth for the technology sector .SPLRCT is now seen at 33.8%, up from 26.5% at the start of January, LSEG data showed.
Among companies still to report is Broadcom AVGO.O, whose results will be among the last of the fourth-quarter earnings season.
