The S&P 500's earnings per share (EPS) forecast for 2025 has been revised downward to approximately $260, reflecting concerns about a potential recession impacting earnings. Despite this, the index trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio around 20, significantly above its long-term median of 15.2 since 1985, indicating that the market remains expensive relative to fundamentals. Analysts note that the S&P 500's valuation is more than twice its earnings growth rate of 9.5%, suggesting overvaluation. Meanwhile, Evolution Gaming reported its first quarterly decline in live revenue in Q1 2025, with net revenues increasing 3.9% to €520.9 million but EBITDA decreasing 1.1% to €342.0 million, and profit falling 5.4% to €254.7 million. Earnings per share dropped 2.8% to €1.24. The company cited regulatory measures and cyber attacks in Asia as factors weighing on results, and the CEO expressed dissatisfaction with the performance. The stock fell about 18-20% following the report, with analysts lowering price targets. Despite this, Evolution maintained its full-year EBITDA margin guidance of 66-68%, anticipating a softer first half but a stronger second half. In contrast, Eaton Corporation reported record first-quarter 2025 results, beating earnings and revenue estimates with adjusted EPS of $2.72 and revenue of $6.38 billion. Eaton raised its full-year organic growth guidance but lowered its GAAP EPS guidance for 2025. The company expects Q2 adjusted EPS between $2.85 and $2.95, slightly below estimates. Overall, the market shows caution amid mixed corporate earnings and elevated valuations.
