<h2>Elyse Ausenbaugh:</h2>
<p>It's the dog days of summer: The weather is hot, and so is the stock market – the S&P 500 has seen a string of record highs and has climbed nearly 20% so far year-to-date.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Text appears beside her: 'S&P up nearly 20% year-to-date.'</p>
<h2>Elyse Ausenbaugh:</h2>
<p>Every investor wants to know: Can the rally continue? We think it can, and we're counting on corporate earnings growth to keep the market moving higher – here's what to watch for as the second quarter earnings season ramps up.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A question appears over gray: 'What are expectations heading into earnings season?'</p>
<h2>Elyse Ausenbaugh:</h2>
<p>Despite some nervousness about slower economic activity data throughout the second quarter, consensus is entering the reporting season with S&P 500 earnings growth expectations around 9%. That's well-above the long-term average earnings growth of just over 7% and would mark the 4th consecutive quarter of accelerating growth.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Another question appears over gray: 'Is market strength limited to specific sectors?'</p>
<h2>Elyse Ausenbaugh:</h2>
<p>It's not just a few pockets of the market that are expected to see earnings upside –</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A horizontal bar graph appears, titled, 'Sector Snapshot: 2Q24 Earnings Expectations, % year-over-year change in Earnings Per Share based on consensus estimates.' The vertical axis lists, from top to bottom: S&P 500, Communication Services, Health Care, Information Technology, Utilities, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Energy, Real Estate, Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Materials. The horizontal axis ranges from negative 15% to positive 20%. The tan S&P 500 bar reaches 9%, while the next eight data bars are blue. Communication Services reach 19%; Health Care 17%; Information Technology 16%; Utilities and Financials 10%; Consumer Discretionary 7%; Energy 5%; and Real Estate 2%. The next three data bars are purple with Consumer Staples at negative 1%; Industrials at negative 4%; and Materials at negative 10%.</p>

<h2>Elyse Ausenbaugh:</h2>
<p>In fact, eight of the S&P 500's 11 sectors are anticipated to grow earnings, and five of them could see growth above 10%! AI seems likely to remain a key theme, but we'll be looking for other signals as well – like how demand and inventories are faring, plans for new rounds of stock buybacks, and how attitudes towards inflation risks may be shifting.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Here three points appear beside her in a bulleted list surrounded by a gray text box:</p>

<p>Another bulleted list appears below a title with a magnifying glass:</p>

<p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There could be further upside in the S&P 500 if companies deliver on the earnings front</li>
<li>Themes like AI seem poised to maintain a strong presence, but better-than-expected results from other companies could help the rally broaden.</li>
</ul>

<p>The price of equity securities may rise or fall due to the changes in the broad market or changes in a company's financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities are subject to 'stock market risk' meaning that stock prices in general may decline over short or extended periods of time.</p>
