Netflix, GE Aerospace and RTX slated for Oct. 20 earnings

CNBC says the third-quarter earnings season is expected to be strong, but strong results may not be enough to quell market fears. Its article points to concerns about interest rates, AI spending and the durability of earnings growth. It also describes an uneven market, with the Magnificent Seven doing much of the work in the indexes while the average stock struggles. CNBC cited Bank of America estimates that earnings growth for the S&P 500 outside energy and tech was expected to slow to 7% in the third quarter from 12% in the second.
