Homrich & Berg sees concentrated earnings growth threatening stock rally’s breadth
Homrich & Berg’s October 14, 2026, analysis warns concentrated earnings growth threatens the broadening U.S. stock rally. S&P 500 third-quarter earnings per share are forecast to rise 24.7% on revenue growth of 12.2%. Excluding technology and energy, expected earnings growth slows to 5.3% from 13.3% in the second quarter. Estimate revision momentum has turned negative for the S&P 500, signaling weaker fundamentals beneath headline growth. Higher fuel costs threaten margins outside technology; elevated interest rates weigh on small-cap stocks, putting broader market participation at risk.
