← Back to Full Coverage: S&P 500 INDEX (SPX) Live: Markets Shun Risk Amid Economic Hurdles
The bulk of S&P 500 companies have now unveiled their Q1 earnings, and the consensus from FactSet data points to a largely impressive showing. Among those that have already reported, more than three-quarters (78%) of S&P 500 companies posted a positive EPS surprise, while close to two-thirds (62%) also beat their revenue projections.

The SPX ETF remains lower by 0.42%.
