Wall Street banks slash $34bn from earnings forecasts for big companies. Analysts are expecting companies listed on the S&P 500 index to post earnings-per-share growth of 2.6% in the July to September quarter, compared with the same period a year earlier, according to FactSet data. That figure has fallen from 9.8 % at the start of July, and if accurate would mark the weakest quarter since the July to September period in 2020. Source: FT

Energy stocks continue to significantly disconnect from the rest of the market. Let’s not forget: - At 11% FCF yield, the overall sector remains cheap; - It remains a low weight in main benchmarks and is underinvested by most fund managers; - While the sector is not ESG friendly, many Oil majors are now becoming more responsible and are investing into Renewables.
