With 9% of S&P 500 firms having already reported Q1 earnings including all of the major banks, results have generally disappointed relative to already tepid expectations. 43% of companies have missed consensus expectations, on pace for the highest rate since at least 1998 with earnings set to drop by 15% Y/Y, but it's Q2 where the real pain will be with Goldman now expecting S&P 500 to plunge by a record 123% plunge.

David Kostin now expects aggregate S&P 500 cash usage will plummet by 33% - or $850 billion - to $1.8 trillion in 2020. Investment for growth (capex, R&D, and cash M&A) will fall by 26% to $1.0 trillion and account for 56% of total S&P 500 cash outlays. Buybacks and dividends will fall by a combined 39% to $770 billion and account for 44% of total spending.

The biggest hit to earnings will arrive in the second quarter, when mass unemployment, business closures, and quarantine activity plunge demand to an unprecedented low. The three-month period is expected to see a $10-per-share loss for the S&P 500, which would mark a 123% year-over-year decline, the team led by Ryan Hammond wrote in a note to clients.
