Next week marks the beginning of the Q3 2024 earnings season, with 41 companies from the S&P 500 set to report their financial results. The total market capitalization of these companies is approximately $4.6 trillion. This earnings season is particularly significant, as it comes amid a $9 trillion rally in the US stock market, which is facing critical challenges. Financial sector companies will dominate the reporting, with 23 firms, including Bank of America, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs, confirming their earnings dates. Analysts anticipate that while many companies are expected to post strong results, some may struggle, with expectations for certain firms to exceed even Nvidia's impressive performance.
