NEW YORK: The industrial sector has led the way for US equities during a topsy-turvy year on Wall Street, but its strength will be tested as earnings season heats up.

S&P 500 industrials, which include aerospace companies, electrical equipment and machinery makers, transportation firms and building products companies, have gained 15% so far in 2025. That's the best year-to-date performance of the S&P 500's 11 sectors and more than double the gain of the overall index.
