S&P 500 companies who kept previous 2020 EPS guidance on Q1 earnings calls, by sector
During Q1 2020 earnings calls, 21 S&P 500 companies from the utilities sector confirmed their previous EPS guidance for 2020, as did 12 health care companies. This suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a negative impact on their bottom line, which stands in stark contrast to many financial services companies in the United States. EPS stands for earnings per share and shows the value of earnings allocated per outstanding share of common stock of a company.
