Editor's Note: Below is a brief excerpt and chart from today's Early Look written by Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough. Click here to learn more.

"... In terms of the US profit #Recession, here’s the update now that 308 of 500 S&P Companies have reported:

 

  1. Total SALES -4.7%, EPS -6.4% (both metrics slowed since I updated you on earnings season earlier in the week)
  2. NEGATIVE y/y EPS SECTORS: Energy, Materials, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Financials, Info. Technology, Utilities
  3. POSITIVE y/y EPS SECTORS: Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Telecom

 

So if you back out the 3 of 10 S&P Sectors that don’t have profit recessions trending, you have no earnings growth in the SP500 at all. Isn’t it funny how a sentence like that sounds even though it’s precisely how the “Ex-Energy” crowd has been telling stories?"
