This performance maintained a similar trend to the first quarter, which saw a weighted surprise of +3.1% and -3.8% by number of companies.
For A-shares, results were more mixed, with earnings missing consensus forecasts by number of companies (-13.8%) but remaining largely in line by weighted surprise (0.2%). This represented a softening from the first quarter’s performance.
Revenue figures for both MSCI China and A-shares missed consensus estimates when measured by number of companies, but showed in-line results by weighted surprise.
