Observation

Responses to first quarter S&P 500 company reports released Wednesday and yesterday are flashing a warning sign. In most cases, sales and earnings exceeded consensus estimates. When companies reported positive “blowout” first quarter results (e.g. Mattel, Sketchers, AT&T), their stock prices responded accordingly. However, most companies that merely reported higher than consensus first quarter results saw their share price decline. Examples include Chipotle, Biogen, Blackrock, Southwest Airlines, Intel, Verizon, United Rental, Halliburton, Union Pacific and Dow. Companies that reported lower than consensus results saw their share price hit hard (e.g. Las Vegas Sands)
