Traders Show No Mercy for US Companies Missing Earnings Expectations: With the US stock market at record highs, the bar for US companies to deliver results sufficient to justify high stock prices is high. Furthermore, investors have little patience for any company with disappointing earnings reports. Data from Bank of America shows that the market is punishing companies more harshly than in the past, with stocks that miss both revenue and net profit expectations underperforming the S&P 500 by an average of 5.5 percentage points the following day. This margin of decline is more than double the historical average and equals the second-largest margin on record for the bank.
