Investors Cut Faith in 2027-2028 Earnings Estimates as Blue Wave Raises Data Center Costs

Summary
2027-2028 earnings forecasts lost credibility for investors after the blue-wave selloff, even though the report argues corporate fundamentals were not badly damaged this week.
Data center projects remain a key reason: builds are still expected to proceed, but approvals now face a higher bar and deals will cost more, implying a modest hit to future profits.
Company examples in the report point to resilient near-term operations—AMD said demand is "off the charts," while Hilton's CEO said he sees no dramatic impact over the next two or three years.
The broader takeaway is a split between market panic and business reality: current operations look intact, but longer-dated profit estimates now appear too optimistic under a tougher policy backdrop.
