Must-Watch Trends for Investors in the Q3 Earnings Season
Earnings season is a crucial time for equity investors during turbulent economic periods. For the past three months, news about corporate financial performance has trickled out to the public, but the deluge of earnings results will shed light on how the economy has progressed through the summer.
COVID-19 has created general uncertainty and instigated rapid shifts in behavior among consumers and producers, but it's not yet clear how the disruption will influence the business cycle or permanently alter the economy. Any indication that a return to normal is still distant or altogether unlikely is very relevant to investors, who should be following up on the major trends from earlier this year.
