Equities & Earnings Writer, Global Markets Review
Sophie Harcourt is an equities and earnings writer at Global Markets Review, covering listed companies, quarterly results and the events that move individual stocks. Her reporting focuses on earnings releases, corporate outlooks, IPOs, sector trends and changes in investor expectations.
She follows companies across the US, UK and European markets, examining the numbers behind each announcement and what they reveal about valuations, growth prospects and the wider competitive landscape.
Her approach to sell-side research is deliberately sceptical: she treats price-target changes and rating changes as different events, and leans on primary documents, quarterly reports, investor-relations calendars and regulatory filings, rather than secondary commentary.
Sophie Harcourt holds no positions in individual securities covered by Global Markets Review.
