The European earnings season is set to kick off in earnest on July 17th, 2024, with the release of results from chipmaking equipment giant ASML (AS:ASML). Analysts at UBS have provided insights into what investors should pay close attention to during this crucial period.

Shifting Tides in European Markets

European markets have displayed a degree of resilience in recent months. Upbeat business activity, fueled by the European Central Bank's recent interest rate cuts, has helped to offset weaknesses in the manufacturing sector. This resilience is reflected in rising earnings expectations, with analysts anticipating robust growth for the second quarter.

Focus on Sector Performance

However, UBS analysts warn of significant divergences in performance across different sectors. Industries like healthcare equipment, retail, capital goods, construction materials, and insurance are expected to see growth, while transportation, semiconductors, software, mining, and autos are forecasted to contract.

Beyond the Numbers: Long-Term Vision

This earnings season will be more than just about quarterly figures. Investors should also be attentive to companies' statements regarding their progress towards long-term goals. As many European businesses reach the halfway points of their fiscal years, insights into future strategies and outlooks will be critical for informed investment decisions.

Critical Information for Investors

The upcoming earnings season presents a valuable opportunity for investors to gauge the health of European companies and assess their ability to navigate current economic uncertainties. By closely following these key areas:

  • Sectoral Performance: Identify sectors exhibiting strength and weakness.
  • Long-Term Strategies: Evaluate companies' visions for future growth.
  • Overall Market Sentiment: Gauge overall confidence levels within the European market.

Investors can make informed decisions about their European holdings and potential investment opportunities.
