Earnings Season Starts With a Bang. Will the Fireworks Continue?

Xchange NewsletterApril 27, 2023

Editor’s note: Any and all references to time frames longer than one trading day are for purposes of market context only, and not recommendations of any holding time frame. Daily rebalancing ETFs are not meant to be held unmonitored for long periods. If you don't have the resources, time or inclination to constantly monitor and manage your positions, leveraged and inverse ETFs are not for you.

One of the most anticipated earnings seasons in years is underway.  So far, many companies have surpassed analysts’ earnings estimates to start the first-quarter reporting season. According to Credit Suisse,  operating-profit margins were higher than expected. But markets aren’t rejoicing yet. There’s a long way to go.

Overall, the results of Q1 2023 earnings season will depend on a variety of factors, including macroeconomic trends, company-specific performance, and trading dynamics. Traders will be closely monitoring these factors to gain insights into the market and identify potential short-term opportunities.

Here’s a list of announcement dates with related Leveraged & Inverse ETFs, week-by-week for 2023’s Q1 earnings season.
