"So far, 43 of 500 companies have officially printed their GAAP and non-GAAP stories for an aggregate year-over-year EPS decline of -7.1%," Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough wrote earlier today. "Financials EPS are currently -8.3% y/y and allegedly they all “beat”; I’d still sell them on bounces from here."
