When it comes to Q2 earnings, there is no debate on the street. There is a rare and clear agreement that they have been disappointing. Most companies – across sectors – have reported muted growth. Is this cyclical? Or an indication that the pace of growth is slowing? The answer to this will be clear in the next few months. But even in this phase, there are companies that have shown improved performance. And when we say improved, we mean not only YoY, but also QoQ. Is the performance better because of industry factors? Or because individual companies did better thanks to internal efficiency?
