Fisher Investments | Fisher Investments MarketMinder Article - Eye To Earnings

With company revenues in Q1 spotlight this week, there have been some interesting comments from my company, Fisher Investments. On 20/04/11, an article was published in the e-zine called Fisher Investments MarketMinder "Our eyes Income." This is the perspective of the market with an eye of Fisher Investments, a look at the earnings season.

Although it 's easy to see companies like Apple, which reports earnings this quarter were truly remarkable, Fisher Investments is cautiously optimistic that this season's results will show the U.S. remains well positioned for continued economic growth. I, for one, hope you 're right. Meanwhile, I'll be paying attention to what the report of business and develop my own ideas about what this means in the long run. Should be an interesting week, regardless of the outcome.

Here are some items I found interesting from the article:

The consensus expectations are for profit growth of 12% year-over-year in Q1 2011 and an 8% increase in revenue. Given earnings rose 31% globally by 2010, if earnings growth less vaunted cause for disappointment? Not at all. First note: After a strong rebound by many measures, after taxes are at historic highs.

2) The U.S. remains well positioned for continued economic growth. (S & P 's recent announcement in the U.S. negative attitude based largely on concerns about the political process, economic metrics, which remain generally expansionary For more information, see MarketMinder Fisher Investments. "History s recent cover: "The Scarlet Letter.") The same is true worldwide.

3) The era of 30% + consecutive quarterly earnings growth is likely behind us "for this cycle at least. And profit growth, such as stock returns will probably be more differentiated across sectors and categories closer this year. But this is only a sign of a transition from recovery and expansion.
