Investors appear to be taking disappointing earnings reports in stride.
After a punishing start to the year, the S&P 500 has climbed nearly 5% in July, including last week’s 2.5% rise. Even some companies that have posted sharply lower quarterly results have seen their shares rally in the following days.
So far this reporting season, shares of companies in the S&P 500 that have missed Wall Street’s earnings expectations have slipped 0.1% on average in the two days before their report through the two days after, according to FactSet. That compares with the five-year average of a 2.4% decline.
