It’s Earnings, Earnings, Earnings!

Spectacular growth in earnings this year, surprising and unprecedented, after the biggest economic downturn ever, has driven the U.S. Equity Market to new highs, again-and-again-and-again, projected by Decision Economics, Inc. (DE) all year, with yet more-to-come still the DE forecast.

The astounding results for Company Earnings in Q1 and Q2, likely to continue, albeit at a diminishing pace, have brought repeated increases to DE’s projections of Forward Earnings, led to repeated new highs and hikes in estimated Fair Value for the S&P500, Fair Value ranges, and upside potential.

Pre-Q2 Earnings season, the Consensus Forecast was plus 63% YoY; DE’s was 75%.  The result appears to be 87% YoY.

This spectacularly strong earnings upturn, the growth of which certainly will diminish in coming quarters, nevertheless raises the levels of earnings now and going forward.  And that, given the same P/E Multiple on Forward Earnings and passage of time, raises Fair Value.
