As enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and China’s economic stimulus wanes, sinking corporate profits in emerging markets are causing concern for equity investors. With nearly half of companies in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index missing analyst estimates and profits down 10% compared to the previous year, the sustainability of the $2.1 trillion rally fueled by AI-related stocks is in question. Weak earnings momentum in China and rising operating expenses in other regions are contributing to the struggle, with the MSCI EM index facing potential declines of 10% to 15% if companies continue to miss estimates.
