Chart of the Week: Rising Earnings Expectations

We continue to believe that global equities will deliver solid returns this year, supported by strong earnings growth, assuming a short-lived disruption to oil supply. Even as valuations have contracted, earnings have been revised up across most equity markets since the beginning of the year, with EM equities seeing the biggest upgrades (~25%). For both EM and US equities, we expect earnings strength to be driven primarily by the tech sector, reflecting the surge in AI-related investment. Meanwhile, Europe and Japan offer exposure to more domestic, value-oriented themes, notably increased fiscal spending in areas such as infrastructure and defense.
