US EARNINGS SEASON GETS GOING WITH UPBEAT BANK RESULTS
The third-quarter U.S. earnings season kicked into gear on Friday with shares of Wells Fargo WFC.N up about 6% and JPMorgan Chase JPM.N shares up 5% after they reported stronger-than-expected results.
Analysts now are estimating a 4.0% year-over-year earnings gain for S&P 500 financials .SPSY, up from an Oct. 1 estimate for 2.1% growth, according to LSEG data.
They see earnings for the S&P 500 .SPX overall up 4.9% from the year-ago period vs an Oct. 1 estimate for 5.3% growth, the data showed.
Even as the forecast for financials has improved, estimates for the energy sector .SPNY have seen the reverse in recent weeks.
Earnings for the energy sector now are expected to have fallen 25.2% from the year-ago quarter vs Oct. 1's estimated decline of about 20%, per LSEG.
Next week brings quarterly reports from Goldman Sachs GS.N, Netflix NFLX.O and UnitedHealth Group UNH.N, among others, while International Business Machines IBM.N results are expected Oct. 23.
