The earnings season is off to a solid start with decent performance across the table. About 87 S&P 500 members have already released their results till Apr 20. Total earnings for these companies are up 25% year over year on 10.7% higher revenues, with 82.8% beating earnings estimates and 67.8% surpassing top-line expectations. Based on the hitherto observed pattern, first-quarter 2018 is anticipated to register healthy double-digit percentage earnings growth on a year-over-year basis.  

Per the latest Earnings Preview, overall earnings for all the S&P 500 companies are expected to be up 18.3% on 7.7% growth in revenues. This represents an improved growth projection from the previous quarter, which was driven by a corporate tax overhaul and relatively healthy job data. This, in turn, had boosted corporate earnings, stoked investments and trickled down to employees in some instances in the quarter. Experts widely believe that earnings growth is likely to improve steadily in 2018 and beyond.

The Technology sector, of which Telecom forms part, appears to be quite strong. For the sector, earnings are expected to improve 20.9% year over year while revenues are touted to rise 11.5% due to healthy growth dynamics on the back of existing secular trends in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and Big Data.

Let’s take a sneak peek at four major Telecom stocks scheduled to report first-quarter earnings on Apr 26 to see how things are shaping up for the upcoming results.

InterDigital, Inc. IDCC is scheduled to report results before the opening bell.
