Earnings Season Savior?
Can second quarter earnings reports save the market? Looking at other earnings seasons the results are mixed. Stocks rallied 2.22% when S&P 500 companies reported their first quarter results (between AA: 4/7/08 and WMT: 5/13/08); however, during the two previous earnings seasons the market declined -4.28% and -5.37%. As shown in the table, Alcoa began 3Q07 reports on 10/9/07, the market top.
