Earnings estimates for 2015 are likely to fall as the ongoing strength in the U.S. dollar and slowing global economy are factored in. “There are early signs of estimate reductions for 2015, not only for companies, but maybe the market in general. Europe plays into that, China plays into that,” Jim Russell, portfolio manager at Bahl & Gaynor, said.
Earnings from Apple and Boeing are examples of multinational companies beating expectations, but results from other large caps “are showing the global slowdown and the strength of the U.S. dollar working against robust earnings reports,” Russell said.
Disappointing results from Caterpillar, Procter & Gamble and other multinationals had Wall Street in a funk on Tuesday, as they were seen as evidence of the global slowdown and the negative impact of the U.S. dollar’s strength on sales overseas.
