Some analysts are right, Wall street continue to put out low expectations that are easy to beat to make it seem like the company is doing better when they're only beating lowered expectations. This is a warning sign of a pending market crash. Next quarter you can't beat another lowered expectation, it can't be lower than the previous lowered expectations. Otherwise short interest will outpace the bulls.

Earnings expectations can certainly be lower and there’s no logical reason to believe they can’t. Also wall streets expectations aren’t what moves the market, it’s investors expectations. Seems like more shooting from the hip than anything else
no , the point is when the dow numbers are re hit , the dow isn’t even , it’s farther ahead because the raw numbers don’t reflect the dividends that were paid .
stocks trade on fear , greed and FUTURE EXPECTATIONS of the performance of that stock ..
markets and growth and corporate profits have never been linked .
as much as we think higher profits lead to higher stock prices it really does not work like that .
markets are based on greed ,fear and perception not the here and now .
gains and corporate profits don't flow together more ofton than not.
in the book a random walk down wall street 548 nyse issues were tracked and analyed over 5 year periods and the results were the performance had no relationship between the technical and fundemental signals and the actual stock performance ..
ned davis research took another look at the relationship and going as far back as 1927 they found when profits rose more than:

(-10% to + 10% in profits saw a 9.3% jump in gains
(-10%) to (-25%) drop in profits saw 28.6% gains
(-25%) and lower saw a -28% drop in share price.
