U.S. companies' earnings woes are likely to extend beyond the weak fourth quarter, as a booming labor market weighing on margins looks set to hurt results in the first half of this year.

Most strategists expect little improvement for the season, and analysts now forecast S&P 500 earnings falling 3.7% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2023 and 3.1% for the second quarter.

The darkening earnings picture bolsters the case for investors who believe the stock market's early-year rally is unlikely to last, adding to worries over how high the Federal Reserve will need to take interest rates in its fight to keep inflation on an easing trajectory. "The reality for equities is that monetary policy remains in restrictive territory in the context of an earnings recession that has now begun in earnest," wrote analysts at Morgan Stanley, including Michael Wilson, the bank’s U.S. equity strategist, in a Monday report.
