Goldman Says AI-Led Earnings Beats Will Be Harder to Repeat This Season

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 8

Summary

  • Goldman Sachs said this earnings season is unlikely to deliver the same AI-fueled upside surprises that helped drive stocks in the previous reporting period.
  • Christian Mueller-Glissmann, Goldman’s head of asset allocation research, said companies may still beat forecasts, but the hurdle for impressing investors is now much higher.
  • That higher bar means earnings results alone are unlikely to trigger a major market rally, even if corporate reports broadly come in ahead of expectations.
