NEW YORK - Earnings of companies in the benchmark S&P 500 index are expected to decline in the fourth quarter from the year-earlier period, which would mark a second straight quarterly profit drop, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Two straight quarters of year-over-year profit declines would mark an earnings recession. The last time that occurred was from July 2015 through June 2016, which dovetailed with a broad run of stock market underperformance. Profit estimates have deteriorated in recent weeks even as the stock market has risen to record highs.
