European companies are on track to report their strongest quarterly earnings growth in three years, driven largely by gains in the energy and financial sectors, even as concerns over the prolonged Iran war continue to weigh on the economic outlook and consumer sentiment.
According to LSEG I/B/E/S data, first-quarter earnings for European companies are expected to rise 10.2%.
The improvement comes despite the ongoing Iran war disrupting global energy supplies and increasing concerns around global growth and inflation.
Analysts also pointed to a widening performance gap between US and European markets.
Since the war began, the STOXX 600 has fallen 2.3%, while the S&P 500 has gained 8% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has advanced 17%.
Strong earnings from major technology companies also helped support US markets.
Last week, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. jumped nearly 19% after forecasting quarterly revenue above expectations due to strong demand for data-centre chips.
Meanwhile, Alphabet Inc. and Microsoft Corporation also exceeded Wall Street expectations in recent weeks.
Consumer-focused sectors in Europe continue to face mounting pressure as confidence weakens.
Euro zone consumer confidence has fallen to a three-and-a-half-year low, while higher commodity prices continue to affect consumer staples companies.
Auto stocks are down 11.5%, while retail shares have declined 8.9%, with losses increasing during earnings season.
Luxury goods giant LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton reported a sales impact from the Iran war last month.
British pub chain JD Wetherspoon plc also issued its third profit warning in five months last week.
Analysts at Amundi Investment Institute said a prolonged conflict would likely hurt European growth and company earnings.
They also warned that firms may struggle to pass rising costs on to consumers compared with the initial inflation shock following the Ukraine war.

Gaming took 63% of all Web3 venture funding in 2022, but by 2025 its share had fallen to single digits as capital rotated into AI, real-world assets and layer-2 infrastructure.
Investors and studios poured billions into tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) before building blockchain-based games containing tradable properties. Then capital shifted into AI, asset tokenization and infrastructure, and more than 300 games shut down, turning Web3 gaming into a cautionary tale about chasing speculation over product-market fit.
Capital was destroyed at every layer simultaneously," the report states, pointing to venture capital, retail NFT buyers, gaming guilds and Telegram's 300-million-user tap-to-earn wave as parallel casualties. Hamster Kombat alone lost 96% of its users within six months of launch. YGG, the flagship gaming-guild token, trades 99.6% below its November 2021 peak.
Individual post-mortems are brutal. Pixelmon raised $70 million in a 2022 NFT mint and, four years on, still has no public game. Ember Sword burned through $18 million over seven years of development before shutting down last May with no refunds. Gala Games is embroiled in a lawsuit alleging its co-founder diverted $130 million in tokens. Square Enix quietly wound down its Symbiogenesis experiment last July.
The failure wasn’t just a bad cycle or weak execution. The data indicate it was a structural mismatch between a model built around financial incentives and an audience that consistently signaled it wanted entertainment instead.
At the heart of the boom was GameFi, the play-to-earn model that turned gameplay into a financial feedback loop.
Players bought tokens or NFTs, earned rewards in those same assets, and cashed in as long as newcomers kept piling in. Once the inflows slowed, the math broke down. Token prices slumped, rewards thinned out, and users walked away — dragging entire in-game economies down with them.
Axie Infinity, the sector's one-time flagship, watched daily active users crater from roughly 2.7 million at the peak to around 5,500 today, according to DappRadar data.
The demand side never caught up with the flood of capital. Even at the height of the mania, just 12% of gamers had tried a crypto game, according to a Coda Labs survey, cited by Caladan.
Capital allocation made the problem worse. Studios raised tens or hundreds of millions of dollars before shipping viable products, removing the pressure to build games that could retain players.
The most telling data point may be where the money went instead. Gaming commanded 62.5% of all Web3 venture investment in 2022; by 2025, its share had collapsed to single digits as AI, real-world-asset tokenization and layer-2 infrastructure absorbed the displaced capital.
Even Animoca Brands, the sector's most prolific backer, has cut gaming to roughly 25% of its portfolio and is pivoting to stablecoins, RWAs and AI.
At the same time, development timelines stretched three to five years, while tokens traded in real time and demanded constant momentum. By the time many projects were ready to launch, their associated tokens had already collapsed.
The result is a sector that expanded rapidly on speculative demand and contracted just as quickly when that demand faded. More than 300 blockchain games have shut down, according to DappRadar, and remaining investment has shifted away from titles toward infrastructure.
What was once pitched as the future of gaming now looks more like a cautionary example of what happens when financial engineering runs ahead of product market fit.
