Equity Research
The S&P 500 index inclusion effect has reappeared in recent years. Since 2021, the average stock has outperformed the equal-weight index by 4 pp on the day of announcement. Of the 65 stocks joining the S&P 500 during this period (excluding spin-offs), 48 (74%) have outperformed the equal-weight index.
We expect the market to have a muted short-term reaction to Alphabet’s Q2'25 earnings report based upon our first read/analysis of the results. In addition, the strong recent stock outperformance into this earnings report when coupled with the lesser-known variables around a search antitrust remedy decision in the coming weeks (as a likely timetable) might act as a cap on the stock short-term.
