Analysts now expect first-quarter earnings to have fallen 3.2% year-over-year for S&P 500 companies. They had forecast a 5.1% decline in earnings for the quarter at the start of April.
The latest forecast is based on results from 163 of the S&P 500 companies as of Wednesday morning and estimates for the rest of the components.
