European Q2 corporate profit outlook improves further By Javi West Larrañaga and Marleen Kaesebier (Reuters) -The outlook for European corporate health has considerably improved, the latest earnings forecasts showed on Tuesday, showing a continued rise after the extension of the U.S.-China tariff truce and the EU-U.S. trade deal. European companies are expected to report 4.8% growth in second-quarter earnings, on average, according to LSEG I/B/E/S data. That is above the 3.1% rise analysts had expected a week ago. Market sentiment has steadily improved in recent weeks, after the European Union struck a framework deal with the United States in July and the U.S. and China extended their tariff truce for another 90 days on Monday. Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans for tariffs on all countries in February, second-quarter earnings expectations of STOXX 600 companies had gone from a 9.1% year-on-year increase right before the announcement to a 0.7% fall before the signing of the U.S.-EU deal. They have considerably increased in the weeks since Brussels and Washington agreed on the 15% import tariff on most EU goods, half the threatened rate. The consensus forecast for second-quarter revenue has also continued to improve, the LSEG report showed, with analysts now expecting a 1.3% fall compared to a 2.0% drop last week. Out of ten sectors in the European benchmark index, four are expected to see a year-on-year improvement in quarterly earnings. The technology sector is expected to have the highest growth rate at 26%, followed by healthcare, financials and industrials. Earnings of Danish wind turbine maker Vestas later this week could show how European renewable companies are dealing with tariffs and the increased uncertainty in the United States. On Monday, wind farm developer Orsted (CSE:ORSTED) asked shareholders for $9.4 billion to cope with Trump’s hostility to wind power.

European Q2 corporate profit outlook improves after U.S. trade deal By Marleen Kaesebier (Reuters) -The outlook for European corporate health has further improved, the latest earnings forecasts showed on Tuesday, after the European Union struck a framework trade deal with the U.S. a little more than a week ago. European companies are expected to report average growth of 3.1% in second-quarter earnings, LSEG I/B/E/S data shows. That is an increase from the 1.8% rise analysts had expected a week ago. Before the tariff deal, earnings had been expected to fall 0.3% in the quarter. This earnings season is the first to expose the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff-fueled trade war on corporate health. From last week, revenue is also expected to increase, the LSEG report showed. Analysts now expect a 2.0% fall, compared with a 3.3% drop expected before. It compares with a 3.0% increase in earnings and a 0.8% drop in revenues a year ago. After the EU agreement, Trump last Friday slapped new import tariffs on other countries, including a much higher 39% on EU-neighbour Switzerland. The framework trade agreement with the EU, which sets out a 15% import tariff, will apply broadly to EU goods from next month. But the trading bloc is still waiting on executive orders that would bring down the tariff on some products, a senior EU official said on Tuesday. The deal compares to a 30% tariff Trump had threatened to apply earlier in July. Before the agreement, U.S. President Trump’s tariff policies have changed frequently since April, the most common start of the second fiscal quarter. Some were imposed while others were proposed and then delayed. German logistics giant DHL on Tuesday confirmed its 2025 core profit expectations, opting to exclude potential tariff or trade policy impacts. Continental meanwhile said on Tuesday that it suffered a net impact in a mid-double-digit million euro range from Trump’s tariffs. Companies still to report this week include Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO), Commerzbank (ETR:CBKG), and Bayer (OTC:BAYRY). As of Monday’s close, the STOXX 600 was up about 7% year to date.

BOJ warns US tariffs could hit firms’ profits, delay capex plans TOKYO (Reuters) -Profits of Japanese firms are likely to fall this year because of U.S. tariffs, leading them to downgrade capital expenditure plans, the central bank said on Friday, signalling caution over an expected hit to the export-dependent economy. Automakers have swallowed the rising costs from the tariffs instead of passing them on to U.S. consumers, as seen in a fall of roughly 20% in export prices since April, the Bank of Japan said in a full version of its quarterly outlook report. "This suggests Japanese automakers are averting price hikes that may lead to falling sales volume, at the cost of seeing profitability worsen," the BOJ added. The hit to Japanese exports from U.S. tariffs will become clearer once global trade volume, now inflated by companies front-loading shipments to avert higher U.S. levies, turns down, the bank said. "Due to such direct and indirect effect of higher U.S. tariffs, Japanese companies face an increasing chance of profit declines in the current fiscal year," it added. There was a need to scrutinise how falling profits could affect firms’ willingness to keep hiking pay, it said. The BOJ said U.S. tariffs have yet to cause any major change in Japanese companies’ plans for capital expenditure. But past shocks of such scale have caused firms, many of which set spending at the start of Japan’s fiscal year in April, to downgrade plans toward the latter half of the year, it said. "Uncertainty surrounding trade policy could affect capital expenditure plans with a lag," it said. In a summary of the outlook released on Thursday, the BOJ projected the economy to expand 0.6% in the current fiscal year, before growing 0.7% in 2026 and 1.0% in 2027. Japan’s auto sector, which accounts for more than a quarter of its U.S. exports, would see tariffs cut to 15% from 25% now, at an unspecified date. Duties set to take effect on other Japanese goods from August 1 were also cut to 15% from 25%.

UBS remains neutral on U.K. equities amid growth uncertainty Investing.com -- UBS is maintaining a neutral stance on U.K. equities while recommending selective exposure due to near-term growth uncertainty and currency headwinds for corporate profits. The investment bank said in a note on Thursday that it expects U.K. earnings to contract further this year with a projected 3% decline in 2025, according to Matthew Gilman, CIO Equity Strategist at UBS Switzerland AG. However, UBS believes 2025 will mark the bottom, with earnings expected to improve by 5% in 2026 and potentially faster in 2027. Despite this potential future improvement, UBS suggests it’s too early to look that far ahead given the current uncertain growth environment. The bank forecasts muted returns from U.K. equities in the near term, with most returns likely coming from the 3.7% dividend yield. UBS has set a FTSE 100 target of 8,500 for December 2025 and 9,000 for June 2026, compared to the index’s July 22 level of 9,019. For investors seeking U.K. exposure, UBS recommends focusing on higher-quality, more resilient businesses. Their sector preferences include information technology, industrials, and real estate, with an emphasis on companies with structural growth exposure to long-term themes or positive European policy developments. In its upside scenario, UBS sees the FTSE 100 potentially reaching 10,300 by June 2026 if factors like quick U.S.-EU and U.S.-China trade deals materialize, or if commodity prices rise. Conversely, their downside scenario puts the index at 7,000 if a global economic downturn occurs or if the pound strengthens further. The bank notes that U.K. equities have already experienced a 17% earnings decline over the past two years, and the market faces limited exposure to structural growth opportunities that could offset negative impacts from trade tariffs. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Unsure where to invest next?

US corporate profits decrease sharply in first quarter WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. corporate profits fell sharply in the first quarter and could continue to be squeezed this year by higher costs from tariffs that are threatening to undercut the economic expansion. Profits from current production with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments dropped $118.1 billion last quarter, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) said on Thursday. Profits surged $204.7 billion in the October-December quarter. President Donald Trump’s sweeping import duties have cast a shadow over the economy, knocking business and consumer sentiment as well as unleashing unprecedented volatility on financial markets. A U.S. trade court on Wednesday blocked most of Trump’s tariffs from going into effect in a sweeping ruling that the president overstepped his authority. Economists said the ruling, while it offered some relief, had added another layer of uncertainty over the economy. The increasingly uncertain environment was echoed in minutes of the Federal Reserve’s May 6-7 meeting published on Wednesday, which noted "participants judged that downside risks to employment and economic activity and upside risks to inflation had risen, primarily reflecting the potential effects of tariff increases." Companies ranging from airlines, retailers to motor vehicle manufacturers have either withdrawn or refrained from giving financial guidance for 2025, citing the uncertainty caused by the on-again and off-again nature of some duties. Businesses front-loaded imports and households engaged in pre-emptive buying of goods last quarter to avoid higher costs, making it difficult to get a clear picture of the economy. The deluge of imports sent gross domestic product declining at an upwardly revised 0.2% annualized rate in the January-March quarter, the BEA said in its second estimate of GDP. The economy was initially estimated to have contracted at a 0.3% pace. It grew at a 2.4% rate in the fourth quarter. When measured from the income side, the economy also contracted at a 0.2% rate in the first quarter. Gross domestic income (GDI) expanded at a 5.2% pace in the October-December quarter. The average of GDP and GDI, also referred to as gross domestic output and considered a better measure of economic activity, declined at a 0.2% rate. Gross domestic output grew at a 3.8% pace in the fourth quarter. Which stock should you buy in your very next trade?
