Analysts are expressing caution regarding U.S. corporate earnings for the first quarter of 2025, attributing concerns to potential global trade wars spurred by Trump administration policies. Major companies like Apple, Tesla, and Ford have contributed to lowered earnings estimates, with S&P 500 forecasts revised down 4.5 percentage points since January. Earnings growth for these companies is expected to decline to 7.7% year-over-year, marking the lowest since Q3 2023 and a sharp drop from previous quarters. Fears of economic recession due to tariffs and government cutbacks are affecting investor sentiment as the earnings reporting season approaches.
