Solaris Group: Earnings Season

earnings season: NEW YORK - With earnings season winding down and the employment report out of the way, the U.S. stock market is likely to shift into a lower gear next week, according to Reuters. "It has sort of become a trend now to go into earnings season with low expectations, so beating those expectations is not a big deal," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York and By Angela Moon The earnings season so far has been largely positive with more than half of the companies that have reported beating estimates. But cuts in outlooks from a number of bellwethers, including Intel INTC.O: Quote and Caterpillar CAT.N: Quote , mainly due to increasing concerns over China's growth, have raised fears about the third and fourth quarters.
