The stock market retreated for the week ended February 10, weighed down by some disappointing earnings and revised inflation data for December.

The scorecard so far: Fourth-quarter earnings season is well past the midpoint, with nearly 70% of S&P 500 companies reporting earnings so far, according to data compiled by FactSet. About 69% of S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings have reported positive earnings surprises, the report said. This is below the 5- and 10-year averages of 77% and 73%, respectively.

Factset also found that the companies that reported negative earnings surprises saw an average share price decline of 0.4% two days before the release through two days after the release. That’s better than the average 5-year decline of 2.2%, with Factset arguing that investors were in a less punitive mood amid very muted expectations.

According to FactSet, a more modest 63% reported fourth-quarter sales growth. Overall, fourth-quarter earnings for S&P 500 companies are expected to fall 3.3% year over year, marking the first decline since the third quarter of 2020, she added.

Earnings for 61 S&P 500 companies will be released next week, two of which are also Dow components.
