Craig Erlam, a senior market analyst at Oanda: “It’s still very early days but we’ve seen numerous cases now of earnings surprises driven by the ‘it’s not as bad as we feared’ argument. That’s a relief of course, but surely not a case for a sustainable rebound.”Strategists have been slashing their year-end targets for European stocks, with those at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and UBS Group AG now expecting the worst year for the region’s equities since 2008.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategists also cut their six-month target by 15 per cent in the past month, signaling a 20 per cent decline for the index in 2022. They forecast Stoxx 600 earnings growth of 7 per cent this year, half what bottom-up consensus expects, and cut their 2023 EPS growth forecast to 0 per cent from 5 per cent previously.
