Banks begin reporting this week, marking the start of the first quarterly earnings season of the year. For active investors, earnings season is a stress test: many stocks are priced for perfection, so results and guidance will determine whether current valuations hold or require re-rating. Companies that address previously weak areas, raise guidance, or surpass expectations can trigger meaningful continuation moves. Use earnings to build new opportunity lists and manage existing setups rather than to avoid the market.
