1 GI Research Market Commentary 290 US firms reported: less exciting yearly comparison but still good in absolute terms. After 290 US results, numbers for Q2 are less exciting when compared to Q1. In absolute terms they remain encouraging, both at the index level as well as for the median stock. The global GDP momentum supports corporate sales growth and margins as its magnitude is appreciable and widespread across countries. European results are pressured by a stronger trade-weighted euro versus Q1 but they are attractive anyway: euro area (EA) growth in Q2 for earnings and sales is indeed 13% and 6.8% yoy, respectively. Japanese numbers are even better. Due to less buoyant yearly comparisons, lower oil prices, less upbeat macro surprises and still optimistic earnings consensus, analysts have started to lower their estimates. In Europe this trend is exacerbated by the strong euro. We think earnings estimates for the current year to be high (albeit less than before) and we remain below consensus. Having said this, even with prudent earnings growth assumptions, we are still able to justify a total return of 6-7% in the EA and Japan (yen hedged) in the next 12 months. Analysis of earnings and sales of Brazilian and Indian companies at the stock level reveals an appreciable improvement, both in terms of earnings and sales. We expect further improvement of the bottom line of EM companies which would be supported by higher global trade, stabilizing macro surprised and increasing commodity / oil prices. Nearly 290 US companies reported so far which is slightly less than 60% of the S&P 500. In respect to our previous commentary (July 25 th ), when 100 results were reported, the reporting season is currently less exciting when compared to the Q1 season, when a similar number of firms reported. But they are still encouraging in absolute terms. This is consistent with a good global growth momentum which is supporting the global sales one. In particular, the year-on-year (yoy) earnings growth is 10.6% which is lower than Q1 (15.6%). But when commodity sectors are excluded, the yearly growth is mostly unchanged at 6.3%. The sales growth is 6% yoy, below Q1 (8.6%) but it is unchanged, at 5%, when we exclude the commodity sectors. The earnings surprise is also a tad lower at 5% (5.9% in Q1) while the sales one higher at 1.3% vs. 0.5% in Q1. The relative strength of sales reveals a good momentum of the top-line which ultimately has to do with a decent GDP growth and stabilizing firms pricing power. In this respect, the ratio of positive-to-total surprises is slightly lower for earnings (78% vs. 83% in Q1) but higher for sales: 71% vs. 66%. Overall the margins momentum is progressing well as the earnings growth surpass the sales one.

This is lower than the brilliant one in Q1 which was 32%. The latter was supported by a better base effect (very weak Q1 in 2016). Ex-commodity sectors, the earnings growth remains lower than in Q1 but less so: 5% vs. 6%. The sales growth is 7.8% yoy, unchanged from Q1, still when a similar number of firms reported. Excluding commodity sectors, it is lower at 5.4% vs 7.5% in Q1. The ratio of positive-to-total surprises is worse vs. Q1: 58% for earnings (69% in Q1) and 57% for sales (78% in Q1). As we said in the previous commentary, the stronger euro played a role in lowering the magnitude of positive surprises. For the European results, the margin momentum is improving too (better earnings momentum vs. the sales one).
5 In the EA, 166 firms reported, (60% of the Euro Stoxx index). Results are weaker as well when compared to Q1. In absolute terms they look attractive. The earnings growth is 13% and the sales one 6.8%. While the earnings growth is very dispersed across sectors (probaly still due to a currency effect), the sales one is homogeneusly positive across sectors. The surprises vs. analysts estimates are positive (3.5% and 0.8% for earnings and sales respectively) but lower than in Q1. The same is true for the ratio of positive-to-total surprises which is 55.4% for earnings (66% in Q1) and 53% for sales (85% in Q1). Here we notice that albeit still lower than in Q1, the current surprise ratio for sales is better than in our previous note when 31 firms reported (July 25 th ). In Japan, results alre weaker than in Q1 but still noticeable in absolute terms. The earnings growth is 39% which reduces to 20% ex-commodity sectors. The sales growth is 6.7% which is lower than the 8% in Q1. Positive surprises vs. analysts expectations are 20% for earnings (in acceleration vs our previous note and higher than in Q1 when the sectors median is taken into consideration) and 1.5% for sales (broadly unchanged vs. Q1).

9 The median stock analysis (which is biased vs. small and medium firms instead of big-size ones) shows respectable results for both earnings and sales. With the exception of Japan (which is characterized by a superior growth), both the yearly growth and the surprise vs. analysts expectations are lower than in Q1 but still high in absolute terms. This is valid both for earnings and for sales. In general, when compared to our previous note, the median stock momentum is better or unchanged for the US and Japan, while slightly weaker for the stocks belonging to the European and the EA indices.

The global earnings forecast for the current year (2017) is now unchanged while till July 25 th (our previous note) it was improving by 1.2%. This has to do with the still optimistc consensus forecasts and the highlighted pressure coming from the stronger euro.

Whereas the reporting seasons for Indian and Brazilian companies have advanced to cover 64% and 42% of eligible companies, the one for China has hardly started (only 5 companies reported). The Indian earnings growth in Q1 has shown a turnaround and increased at the index level by 5.8% yoy. The reporting season of the previous quarter, when comparable number of companies is drawn to make comparisons, has presented a negative growth of -3.5% yoy. The sales growth has, however, slightly decreased but from a very high level (from 18.3% in Q4 to 15.9% in Q1). Nonetheless, the earnings growth has deteriorated as the median earnings growth has decreased, becoming slightly negative at -1.5%. The median sales growth has, on the other hand, improved (from 4.9% in Q4 to 6.3% in Q1). The sectors with the highest yoy earnings growth are Energy and Materials (28.4% and 46.2, respectively). The sales growth of the energy sector was one of the highest as well. Having disappointed in the previous quarter, the reported net profits exceeded consensus estimates in the index by 4.0% (for the first time since one year). The sales have exceeded expectations as well. The sectors significantly beating the expectations are Energy and Financials. For Brazil, the Q2 earnings growth has somewhat decreased (11.7% vs. 20.9% in Q1), which is attributed to the negative earnings growth of the Materials (-36.6%) and less positive growth of consumer staples. However, the median earnings growth has increased (from 10.1% to 30%). The sales growth has improved at the index level (from 5% in Q1 to 30% in Q2). The median sales growth has increased as well (from 5.7% in Q1 to 7% in Q2). At the index level, while earnings have slightly disappointed (-1%), sales exceeded expectations significantly (27.7%). The largest sales surprise came from financials. Analyzing earnings and sales at the stock level, we can conclude that both Indian and Brazilian companies are doing better on average, both in terms of earnings and sales. The development for Brazil companies is more compelling as the economy is coming out of the recession.

That said, they remain encouraging in absolute terms, both at the index level and for the median stock. The global GDP momentum supports corporate sales growth and margins as its magnitude is appreciable and widespread across countries. European results are pressured by a stronger trade-weighted euro versus Q1 but they are attractive anyway: EA yoy growth in Q2 for earnings and sales is 13% and 6.8%, respectively. Japanese numbers show a bigger yoy growth and surprise, also because Japanese results have so far lagged European and US ones, starting from the trough in In general, the global margin momentum is holding well as earnings growth surpass the sales growth. Low input costs should continue to represent a helpful factor for margins. Due to less upbeat yearly comparisons in Q2, lower oil prices, lower levels of the macro surprise indices and still optimistc earnings consensus, analysts have started to lower their estimates for this year and the next two. In Europe this trend is exacerbated by the strong euro. Currrent earnings growth estimates remain high (albeit less than before) and we remain below consensus. Our estimates are backed by our quantitative models which use macro variables and our economic forecasts as inputs. We deem any earnings-related risk to be relatively contained at this stage, as we remain constructive on the ongoing recovery and the margin expansion (especially in the EA). With our more prudent earnings growth assumptions we are still able to justify a total return of 6-7% in the EA and Japan (yen hedged) in the next 12 months.
