Summary:

The Q1 and Q2 2021 earnings seasons were perhaps the best in history relative to expectations. FactSet notes that for Q2, 86% of S&P 500 companies beat on the bottom line, and maybe more impressively, 76% of firms reported a positive revenue surprise.¹

This week, we feature insights on what companies are doing with their cash flow in light of the much better than expected operating conditions. We also investigate one small U.S. firm as an Earnings Outlier that traders should keep on their radar.
