American profit growth pickup might justify Wall Street surge
American companies are set to post their strongest revenue growth for two years, that could go a long way toward justifying Wall Street's record-breaking soar, as stock investors stress, who anticipate that many US companies will top expectations.
Fresh from a year-long dip in quarterly revenues, companies in the benchmark S&P 500 are supposed to report their bottom lines tacked on by 6.2% during the fourth quarter, as the latest Thomson Reuters data revealed, the strongest surge since a 7% rise in the same quarter of 2014.
By most measures, the previous quarter was a solid one for the wider American economy. One major measure of health of the manufacturing sector, the Institute for Supply Management's monthly purchasing managers' index, reached its highest level for two years, while the global economic outlook improved too.
Meanwhile, the number of fourth-quarter corporate outlooks above experts’ hopes is at the most they have been for years.
