"... Shifting gears, not that profit or credit cycles matter when the Janet waives her “dovish” day-trader wand, but Earnings Season officially ended yesterday and here’s the summary:
- SP500 (500 of 500 companies have reported) aggregate SALES down -4.0%
- SP500 aggregate EPS down -6.9%
- SP500 Sectors saw 6 of 10 report NEGATIVE earnings growth
- “Ex-Energy” (i.e. 40 of the 500 companies), there are still 460 companies!
- Industrials (65 companies) and Financials (90) companies had EPS of -5.9% and -5.4%, respectively"
