With second-quarter
earnings largely in the books (95% of S&P 500 companies have
reported for Q2 2010), today's chart provides some long-term
perspective to the current earnings environment by focusing on
12-month, as reported S&P 500 earnings. Today's chart illustrates
how earnings declined over 92% from its Q3 2007 peak to Q1 2009 low
which brought inflation-adjusted earnings to near Great Depression
lows. Since its Q1 2009 low, S&P 500 earnings have surged (up over
800%) and currently come in at a level that occurred at the peak of the
dot-com bubble. It is interesting to note that the original run-up in
real earnings from Great Depression lows to dot-com highs took over 67
years. The current spike has taken 13 months.
