Beneath Strong Q3 Earnings, a More Complex Picture S&P 500 earnings rose more than 12% in Q2 and are projected to climb another 5% in Q3. These strong results come despite significant challenges, including ongoing tariff concerns, slowing job growth, a late-September government shutdown, and more. Below the surface, the picture is more complex and worrisome. GDP growth looked strong on paper, but global demand may be softening. The labor market cooled sharply, leading to the Fed’s first rate cut since 2024. Inflation is still stuck near 3%. These mixed signals trends suggest a “muddle-through” economy—slowing, but still far from recession. In Zacks Investment Management’s Q4 2025 Market Commentary1, we look at 2025’s continuing story of balance, with strong corporate profits on one hand, and clear signs of moderation on the other.
