Given that, revisions upward may now be less frequent.\nBut there is indeed more upside to earnings, according to analysis from Credit Suisse strategists.

Given that, revisions upward may now be less frequent.\nBut there is indeed more upside to earnings, according to analysis from Credit Suisse strategists. For every percentage point of additional gross domestic product growth, revenue growth on the S&P 500 is roughly double, historically, Credit Suisse said. With GDP expected to grow just over 7% in 2021—the fastest clip in decades as the economy normalizes after the lockdowns of 2020—S&P 500 revenues could grow about 14%.\nBut analysts only expect aggregate sales growth on the index of around 9% for the year, according to FactSet data. Considering current revenue estimates, Credit Suisse’s analysis implies roughly 4% upside to sales projections.\nEarnings would have even more potential to rise. For many S&P 500 companies—think of manufacturers, retail businesses, and food-chain operators—increased sales often mean even higher profit growth.

Given that, revisions upward may now be less frequent.\nBut there is indeed more upside to earnings, according to analysis from Credit Suisse strategists.

Given that, revisions upward may now be less frequent.\nBut there is indeed more upside to earnings, according to analysis from Credit Suisse strategists. For every percentage point of additional gross domestic product growth, revenue growth on the S&P 500 is roughly double, historically, Credit Suisse said.
