And to once again reinforce the fact that the stock market is NOT the economy, S&P 500 earnings expectations have hit yet another record high with a whopping $344.30 last week.
The analysts' consensus estimates from which we derive forward EPS are $326.78 for 2026 and $380.37 for 2027.
Both continue to be revised higher.
Also remarkable is that industry analysts continues to raise their consensus S&P 500 EPS growth rates for all 4 quarters this year as seen in the chart below. All double-digit gains.

Only 2 stars for this post? Did your burner accounts get deleted? Are you on the outs with the rest of the BI Conservative He-man Women Haters' Club and they aren't upvoting you like before?
6 stars for this post.

It's funny, the only people posting about star counts are those on the left. Why they are so important to you, I'll never know.
Meanwhile, on this thread about the ECONOMY there are those that count "edits".
Your lack of self-awareness is truly stunning.
You talking about someone else's self awareness is the funniest post that'll happen all week.

While you're pedantically counting the number of times I edit a post, I'm actually discussing the TOPIC of the thread which happens to be the ECONOMY.
But you do you.
Is the recent upturn in forecasted forward earnings growth suggesting surprisingly stronger GDP?
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.

I don't have to count, it's clearly shown. You've now posted several times this morning, calling people out for random things that have nothing to do with the topic. Again, your self awareness is severely lacking

You like calling people out but don't like being called out in return and as soon as someone does you cry about the rules. He who lives in glass houses….
I've noticed that you've never posted any data or charts here about the ECONOMY.
You've never posted anything from Bloomberg, Reuters, or the WSJ.
I've noticed that you've never posted anything "organically" about the ECONOMY.
Nor have you ever started a thread about anything related to the ECONOMY.

I'm talking about publicly calling people out on this board. When you only do that to one side, you're a hypocrite by definition
I'm not following how that makes him a hypocrite by definition.
Definition of a hypocrite (the research shows):
A hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues, moral beliefs, or principles that they do not actually possess, often acting in direct contradiction to their stated beliefs. It involves feigning a persona to deceive others, commonly by criticizing behavior in others while engaging in it themselves
I feel like 88 has not shown anything of this in his responses to you

If you don't call out the same actions on both sides, yes that's by definition being a hypocrite.
