Goldman Sachs: These 41 stocks are poised to earn higher profits than the rest of the market over the next year and a half — including one that could see earnings grow by 345% by the end of 2024

• Earnings season has kicked off, and all eyes are on company profits.
• Goldman Sachs chose 41 stocks expected to see higher EPS growth than the S&P 500 by year-end 2024.
• The firm forecasts that Intel will see earnings-per-share growth of 345% by year-end.

With the first half of the year in the books and second-quarter earnings season in full swing, investors are hunting high and low for any indications of what might happen next in markets.

Considering how unpredictable the stock market and the economy have been in 2023, it’s easy to see why they’re searching for hints of what’s to come. Calls for a recession have been replaced by calls for a soft landing, a tech industry that spent 2021 and 2022 in the dumps has grown resurgent, and professional investors are positioning for a pullback while retail investors are pouring money into markets.d
