Why don’t stocks go up every time they beat on revenue and earnings?
Because reported earnings and real profitability, i.e. Core Earnings, are rarely the same thing.
Companies show great “earnings” all the time while Core Earnings tank. Given how much the Core Earnings Leaders Index beat the S&P 500 last year, paying attention to Core Earnings can make or break your portfolio.
In our latest Earnings Watch Party, we broke down what’s real and what’s just noise.
We separate accounting results from Core Earnings to determine:
- which companies are truly creating value,
- which ones are running on strong narratives, and
- where risk/reward may be misunderstood.
This is fundamentals-first investing in action.
Stocks discussed in this Earnings Watch Party include NVIDIA (NVDA), Dominion Energy (D), Diamondback Energy (FANG), The Home Depot (HD), MercadoLibre (MELI), EOG Resources (EOG), Salesforce (CRM), Lowe’s Companies (LOW), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Intuit (INTU) and more.
