Earnings recession?

Analyst consensus estimates now put the net income of S&P 500 companies as a whole at 4.3% year-on-year growth during the first quarter (earnings per share is up 6.4%, but the net income number strips out the effect of share repurchases). But with inflation running at a 7.9% pace, that means that in real terms, earnings growth is now negative.

Strip out the effect of the spike in the energy sector’s revenues (which at present represents only about 3% of the S&P by market capitalization), and the rest of the S&P 500 is probably tracking about a 7% earnings decline compared to last year. If this situation persists for another quarter, we can fairly call it an earnings recession…. seekingalpha.com
