The S&P 500 declined 0.01% to
2,126.15 today, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 18.77 points, or 0.1%, to 18,142.42. The Nasdaq Composite finished off 0.02% at 5,189.13.

If it was just earnings, we probably wouldn’t be stuck in this rut. Deutsche Bank’s David Bianco and team, for one,  contend that the so-called earnings recession appears to be ending:

Macro conditions were challenging in 3Q, US and globally, especially for capital goods demand and related manufacturing. Commodity prices were weak, non-res construction flat, very slow trade, soft and promotional retailing, stable but paralyzed global markets. Despite this backdrop, 3rd qtr S&P EPS appears likely to rise 2-3% y/y, thus exiting the profit recession and likely the best S&P EPS growth ex. Energy in a year at ~6%. The drivers of this improvement are not cyclical sectors like Industrials or Con Disc, but rather Financials, encouraging acceleration at Tech (ex AAPL) and continued superior high single-digit growth at Health Care. These 3 sectors are 50%+ of S&P EPS.

Top 10 Growth Stocks To Watch For 2019: Nordstrom Inc.(JWN)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Zacks]

  We have Macy's (NYSE: M), Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN), Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), and Home Depot (NYSE: HD) reporting this week.  While the earnings reports will give us the historical data, this week's retail sales data will give us some insight on how well the sector is doing overall in the beginning of Q2.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Many retailers still haven't found a surefire way to make a successful transition to a world in which digital commerce plays a vital and increasingly important role. Several of Nordstrom's (NYSE:JWN) primary competitors released quarterly financial results earlier this week that raised new concerns about the viability of their business models. As a result, those following the retail market figured that the company might see even its upscale department-store operations keep suffering from online competition. With the convenient exit of a leveraged buyout now seemingly off the table, the retailer needed to show that it could survive and thrive following its existing strategy.

• [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

  Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) never expanded as much as its lower-price competitors, and since all of its stores are profitable, it hasn't felt the need to shrink dramatically. Nevertheless, it is closing stores here and there. Given that the Nordstrom store base is heavily skewed toward the best malls in North America, even a relatively small number of store closures and asset sales could provide a meaningful windfall for the company and its investors.

  As for individual stocks, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported yet another quarter of red-hot growth, and Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) surprised observers with solid quarterly results.

• [By Daniel B. Kline]

  Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) had a good quarter and raised its forecast for the full year. That's a combination that investors generally like, and shares in the company rose significantly after the company reported.

• [By ]

  Nordstrom, Inc. (JWN) has no intention of becoming an Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) . That is part of its strength, but it's also refreshing to hear.

  "We're not Amazon," Erik Nordstrom, a co-president of the Seattle-based retailer, told TheStreet at the opening of its first stand-alone men's store that opened on Thursday, April 12, in New York City.
