Why Stocks Are Sinking (Despite Record Earnings Growth)

Yahoo Finance Head of News Myles Udland and TKer.co Editor Sam Ro explore the major disconnect in the market right now: Wall Street analysts are reiterating double-digit earnings growth for the S&P 500, yet stock prices continue to fall. The pair discusses why investors must adopt a "cold, cynical" mindset to focus on company fundamentals (earnings) over daily geopolitical fears (like high gas prices and international flare-ups).

Key Discussion Points:
The Earnings Paradox: Why is the market dropping when corporate earnings are factual and growing?
Mag 7 Valuations: We look at how tech stocks in the Mag 7 are getting significantly cheaper, despite their earnings growth not slowing down.
The "Price Leads" Narrative: Is the market truly anticipating a Q2, Q3, or Q4 earnings dip that analysts aren't seeing yet, or are stock prices just getting cheap?
A Look at History: The hosts put the current 9% drawdown into historical context. Geopolitical flare-ups (Middle East tensions, oil spikes) are always happening when markets fall, but these crises are usually forgotten in a few years.
