European corporate profits are projected to decline by 3.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025, slightly better than the previously expected 4.2% drop. Revenues are also anticipated to fall by 3.5%. This earnings season is crucial for assessing how European firms are coping with trade disruptions, particularly as the euro strengthens, impacting exporters' competitiveness. In contrast, S&P 500 companies are expected to see a 9.2% earnings growth, highlighting a stark difference in outlook between European and U.S. firms.
