      <title>Earnings Expectations Plunging - Earnings Trends</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2685652</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[This week's numbers do not include the passage of the bailout plan and I am unsure if it will do anything to slow the decline, either in the Financials or the rest of the market. The credit markets are frozen more solid than Greenland, and that will spread the pain far beyond lower Manhattan the longer it persists.      There are only a relative handful of actual earnings reports in, and those do not seem that encouraging, although on balance they are still beating expectations. There is considerable uncertainty about third-quarter earnings and the very slow pace of estimate revisions does not give us that much to go on.      We are not even that sure how much of the Financial sector will be included in the results at this point. Huge players as of a year ago effectively no longer exist as far as the public market is concerned. Lehman, Fannie, Freddie, WAMU and AIG effectively longer exist as public companies.

      <title>Analysts Cutting Estimates Again - Earnings Trends</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2574886</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Looking forward to the third quarter, it looks like it should be broadly similar to the second quarter in terms of median growth. For the S&amp;P 500 as a whole, 6.12% growth is expected. However if you factor in about a 3% positive surprise then we are roughly inline with the second quarter.      In terms of sector performance, the general rank ordering is similar. Energy is expected to far out perform all other sectors with growth of 33.3%. Then there is a tight grouping of Industrials, Health Care and Tech between 11.0 and 11.8% growth. Financials (-9.9%) and Consumer Discretionary (-2.7%) are once again expected to be the weakest performers.      Some of the factors which should help median EPS growth are share repurchases, which though have slowed in recent months, will still reflect what happened last year. Oddly, increased share counts will also help boost EPS among the Financials.
