Key Insights:
 
* If -7.2% is the actual earnings decline for the quarter, it will mark the largest earnings decline reported by the index since Q2 2020 (-31.6%). It will also mark the third straight quarter in which the index has reported a (year-over-year) decrease in earnings.
* In terms of estimate revisions, analysts lowered earnings estimates for Q2 2023 by a smaller margin than average during the quarter. On a per-share basis, estimated earnings for the second quarter decreased by 3.0% from March 31 to June 30. This decrease is smaller than the 5-year average of -3.4% and smaller than the 10-year average of -3.4%.
* In terms of revenues, analysts have also lowered their estimates during the quarter. As of today, the S&P 500 is expected to report a (year-over-year) revenue decline of -0.3%, compared to the expectations for flat revenues (0.0%) on March 31.
* The estimated net profit margin for the S&P 500 for Q2 2023 is 11.4%, which is equal to the 5-year average of 11.4%, but below the previous quarter’s net profit margin of 11.5% and below the year-ago net profit margin of 12.2%.
* The percentage of S&P 500 companies issuing negative EPS guidance for Q2 2023 is 59% (67 out of 113), which is equal to the 5-year average of 59% and below the 10-year average of 64%.
