Currently, consensus is forecasting 7.9% earnings growth in 2025. While that&#8217;s down from nearly 10% just a month ago and over 12% at the start of this year, it&#8217;s still in line with the average pace of S&amp;P 500 annualized net income growth of 7.7% since 2010. In the face of tariff uncertainty, average growth seems somewhat unrealistic.<\/p>\n<p>All but the utilities sector have recorded downward adjustments, with the energy and materials segments among the hardest hit.

Forward margin forecasts hit a new high by March, but have hooked a touch lower in recent weeks. In response to the modest tariffs and tightening Fed policy during the first Trump term, operating margin forecasts dropped about 70 bps. Given the bigger adjustments to trade terms announced so far this year, a larger decline is likely in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>There have been five major corrections in the S&amp;P 500, ranging from 14.1%-33.9%, and all were affiliated with an earnings slowdown or correction, with operating margin forecasts an indicator of fundamental weakness.

Dating back to 1960,there have only been 64 months (8.2% of months) when ISM new orders were less than the March2025 reading. Of those 64 months, 49 (76.6%) of them were during official US recessions.<\/p>\n<p>When new orders contract (below 50), average year-over-year EPS growth for the S&amp;P 500 is minus3.5%, a far cry from the consensus for 9.1% growth this year and our estimated implied market expectation for at least 15%. When new orders expand, earnings growth averaged a much stronger 15.6%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">ISM new orders vs S&amp;P 500 EPS growth<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:1024px\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-517.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-large\" alt=\"ISM New Orders vs S&amp;P 500 EPS Growth\" title=\"Figure-517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-517.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-517.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-517.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-517.png 164w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-517.png 1057w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Layoffs paint a grim picture for consumer sectors<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>US layoffs, spurred by Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cost-cutting, are already triggering levels typically observed during recessionary periods. This will likely pressure the outlook for consumer-sector earnings. Challenger reported over 275,000 layoffs in March, up 60% from February&#8217;s total and up over 200% from March 2024. In total, nearly 500,000 layoffs were reported in 1Q, the most since 3Q20. In all quarters dating back to 2000, excluding those in or right after a recession (one quarter of leeway on both sides), average layoff s were 178,000. Last quarter was 2.8x higher than the average.<\/p>\n<p>Average quarterly layoffs in or around recessions were roughly 400,000, or 20% lower than 1Q.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Quarterly layoffs reported by Challenger<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:1024px\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-65.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-large\" alt=\"Quarterly Layoff s Reported by Challenger\" title=\"Figure-65\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-65.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-65.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-65.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-65.png 159w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Figure-65.png 1057w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6a09a7ac2657d'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <div class=\"bbg-accordion transparent\">\n\t<input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-6a09a7ac279fa\">\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-parent\" data-accordion-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t<label class=\"bbg-accordion-label\" for=\"bbg-accordion-toggle-6a09a7ac279fa\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"bbg-accordion-title\" data-label=\"Disclaimer\">\n\t\tDisclaimer\n\t<\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"bbg-accordion-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"bb-wysiwyg\">\n\t<p>The data included in these materials are for illustrative purposes only.
