ADT's Earnings: A Preview

As the third-quarter earnings season approaches, Goldman Sachs has issued a note identifying key stock opportunities for investors looking to profit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41255250/banks-gear-up-for-earnings-season-15-top-stock-picks-including-citigroup-morgan-stanley-and-truist">from financial results.</a>
Analyst John Marshall and his team shared their insights on Thursday, highlighting 18 stocks that could benefit from upward earnings revisions and seven stocks likely to face downward revisions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The &#8216;Stock Picker&#8217;s Year&#8217;: 10% Upside In S&amp;P 500</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts call 2024 "the year of the stock picker," emphasizing the importance of selective investing in a volatile earnings environment.
According to the investment bank&#8217;s latest projections, the average S&amp;P 500 stock could see a 10% upside over the next 12 months. 
"We see relief rally potential," Marshall stated in his note. "Directional positioning in the options market is balanced, a much better set-up than this time last quarter."
The analysts also observed that activity in options markets, both from hedge funds and retail traders, has decreased recently, signaling a "wait-and-see" approach as investors prepare for third-quarter earnings reports and the upcoming U.S. elections.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Season Volatility Remains Elevated</h3>
Goldman Sachs highlighted that single-stock volatility surrounding earnings events remains at a 14-year high. 
This trend, driven by critical market debates on topics like artificial intelligence, interest rates, and the upcoming election, is expected to continue through the remainder of the year.
&#8220;We expect earnings day moves to remain elevated as most of the key debates for the market have winners and losers in the equity space,&#8221; the note added. 
With this heightened volatility, the firm continues to recommend options-based strategies, advising investors to consider buying options ahead of earnings events and selling options between earnings periods to capitalize on price movements.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">18 Stocks Goldman Sachs Is Bullish On For Third-Quarter Earnings</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysts have identified 18 stocks they believe are primed for upside as earnings revisions could be favorable. These stocks span a variety of sectors, from energy and financials to healthcare and technology.
