Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A very strong Q3 boosts S&P 500 consensus and supports EV/valuation lift for large-cap leaders, which IVV directly tracks. Positive earnings surprises typically drive broad-based ETF gains, while weak results could trim gains or reverse them. Historical parallels show IVV moving in tandem with the index during earnings-led rallies.
