Chart of the Day
With a large majority of third-quarter earnings in the books (87% of S&P 500 companies have reported for Q3 2009), today’s chart provides some long-term perspective to the current earnings environment by focusing on 12-month, as reported S&P 500 earnings. The chart illustrates how earnings declined over 92% from its Q3 2007 peak to its Q3 2009 trough, which makes it easily the largest decline on record (data back to 1936). On the positive side, S&P 500 earnings bottomed and are moving up sharply.
