A couple of weeks ago we looked at US Tech vs non-tech earnings... this time we are looking at US vs non-US earnings — the results are surprisingly unsurprising, but very important for global investors to take note. The first thing that stands out is the trends: US earnings have been trending higher throughout the last 30-years, but rest-of-world earnings have been traveling through a highly cyclical range over the past 15-years.

Cycle: Europe has been more aggressive with rate cuts and China is ramping up stimulus, if these major economies can reaccelerate out of slowdown it will boost the black line.) Hype Cycle will eventually make a journey through the trough of disillusionment, this will take some steam out of US/Tech earnings.

But the red line shows that there is a fundamental reason for the direction of travel in the black lin
