This we rearranged the presentation of earnings data a little bit to show the S&P 500 earnings growth and forward estimate growth in a different light. Also shown is the S&P 500 earnings yield relative to the 10-year Treasury or "Fed Model" calculation, showing the S&P 500 is still undervalued relative to the 10-year Treasury yield.
What a start to the year.
Note the accelerating pace of the growth in the forward 4-quarter estimate. I thought going over 10% growth was a big deal in November, December "17, but in fact the "forward 4-quarter" growth rate has now accelerated to 15%.
Lots of Large-cap Technology companies reporting next week. Large-cap growth has been the "style-box" leader for a while now.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) reports Wednesday night after the bell, while Amazon and Apple report Thursday night after the close.
Microsoft is up 9.5% year-to-date already in "18 after its 40% gain in "17. I would not be surprised to see the stock consolidate some of its 13 month gains, though Microsoft is a huge beneficiary of tax reform, almost as much as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). (Long MSFT, AAPL, AMZN.)
