Despite the uncertain landscape of inflation, interest rates, debt levels and geopolitical space in and around the U.S., investors remain bullish that the Federal Reserve will achieve a soft landing for the States’ economy.

If the quarter's growth rate is set at 5.2%, it will be the highest revenue growth rate for the index since Q4 2022, which was slightly better at 5.4%. Moreover, this rate would sustain the trend, marking the 15th quarter a row of revenue growth compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This pace of growth would equal the record of eight consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue growth set from Q3 2016 to Q1 2020, according to FactSet data.
Analysing the performance by sector in Q2 2024, ten of the sectors are growing in revenue yearly. The sectors leading this growth are:
• Information
• Technology
• Energy
• Communication Services
However, the Materials sector is the only one witnessing a decline in revenues compared to the previous year.
Moving forward, analysts have estimated that revenue for the S&P 500 will keep on rising in the next five quarters. The projections for revenue increase from Q3 2024 to Q3 2025 are 4.9%, 5.4%, 5.8%, and 6.2%, which suggests continued positive trends.
