Positive earnings reports

According to Thomson Reuters, 77% of the 184 S&P companies have reported earnings above expectations this quarter.

  1. This report reflects earnings of a company, which is a bottom line number. With the amount of layoffs accross every industry, it's not suprising. The real concern is that revenues have yet to increase, meaning the consumer is not purchasing goods and services. Until consumer activity improves, expect fewer positive earnings reports in the 3rd quarter.
