FYI: It’s that time of year again. Over the next few weeks, companies across the country will be updating shareholders on the state of their businesses.
Earnings reports for the fourth quarter and full-year 2018 have already started to trickle out from the big banks, but nearly 91% of companies in the S&P 500 have yet to report, according to FactSet analyst John Butters. The deluge begins next week, when 59 corporations will announce earnings and give investors their latest outlook for the year ahead.
With much uncertainty hanging over the markets in 2019, these earnings reports and accompanying guidance will be critical in determining where stocks go from here.
