Q2 2025 earnings season looks like a win on paper—81% of S&P 500 companies beat expectations—but don’t be fooled. The market’s strength is overly reliant on FAANG stocks (GOOG, META, AMZN, AAPL, MSFT) pulling the averages higher, while tariffs and lowered guidance have made “surprises” look better than they really are.
In this episode, we cut through the noise:
- 📊 Why Tech & Communications are carrying the market
- 🩺 Healthcare & Financials show quiet resilience
- 🛢️ Energy & Materials are dragging—and why it matters
- ⚠️ How tariffs, experts, and news distort earnings expectations and market psychology
- 🧭 What the data is really signaling about Q3 and how to tweak portfolios now
If you’re building an income-driven strategy or just trying to see where the next cracks—or opportunities—might show up, this is a must-listen. We’re not waiting for the headlines to tell us the story.
