Alphabet - Earnings report sends shockwaves through the market
Yesterday, Alphabet sent shockwaves through the stock market after the close when it published its earnings report for the third quarter. The revenue was up 6% from the year earlier, and earnings per share stood at 1.06 USD, missing analysts' estimates. This earnings report is yet another line to confirm our thesis about the market progressing into the second stage of the bear market, with companies warning about the slowdown and failing to deliver expectations.
We expect this trend to continue during the next earning season and slowly lead the market into the third phase of the bear market. The same view is supported by the fact that the FED is about to increase interest rates next week and further tighten economic conditions, making a primary trend reversal very unlikely.
Therefore, we believe the reality will soon creep back into the market, and those who were buying the dip in hopes of catching a bottom will fulfill our prophecy once they sell those shares back to the market. As a result, we expect Alphabet to continue lower with the rest of the stock market.
