Extended read
While corporate earnings are showing significant strength with a 24.4% growth rate, the market's valuation multiple has expanded to 32x. This creates a high bar for the upcoming Q2 earnings season to justify current price levels. The sequential 5% increase in forward estimates suggests analysts remain bullish on margin expansion, even as the broader index lags the pace of profit growth.
