What a week.

Markets swung wildly as investors tried to make sense of conflicting narratives around the U.S. – Iran war, revised economic data, the last reports of earnings season, and what it all means for future growth potential. One day the market rallies on optimism, the next it sells off on fears that growth can’t keep up with expectations.

This kind of volatility tends to rattle investors who are focused on headlines instead of fundamentals.

Because when uncertainty rises, the most important question isn’t what happened this week. It’s what the current stock price implies about future profit growth.

And when you know the expectations baked into a stock price, you can make rational and more informed decisions about your portfolio, rather than panic buying and selling.

At New Constructs, our Robo-Analyst AI analyzes thousands of filings, especially the footnotes, to reverse accounting distortions, calculate true Core Earnings, and quantify the expectations baked into thousands of stocks. This diligence drives alpha and helps clients find the best and worst stocks in any market.

This week’s research highlights expectations investing in action.
