Recent earnings data indicates a downturn in cash levels among U.S. blue-chip companies, signaling potential credit quality issues. Cash reserves for S&P 500 non-financial firms fell nearly 1% in the latest quarter, reflecting broader declines since Q3 2023. While high-performing giants like Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia have seen growth in cash holdings, many companies, particularly smaller ones, face challenges with declining profits and increased inflation pressures, leading some analysts to urge caution in investment strategies.
