US Earnings Growth Projections Hold Steady Amid War

Investors in the United States are expressing confidence that robust corporate earnings will sustain stock prices despite the market volatility triggered by the conflict in Iran. Although the S&P 500 has declined nearly 4% since the start of the war in February, first-quarter earnings growth estimates remain strong at 14%, according to LSEG data. This resilience suggests that major corporations have developed strategies to manage geopolitical instability and the resulting inflationary pressures.
