NEW YORK, New York - U.S. stocks rebounded on Friday, a day after major across-the-board sell-offs.
"Consensus estimates for 2022 and 2023 remain largely unchanged from the start of the year, even though stock prices have declined considerably since then. Weak guidance could finally force cuts to consensus earnings estimates, which would likely add further downward pressure on stocks," Greg Marcus, managing director, UBS Private Wealth Management told CNBC Friday.
