Earnings per share for S&P 500 constituents are forecast to grow 25% in the third quarter, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Second-quarter EPS grew a spectacular 89%.

“Many companies that move or make things have been warning of profit pressures owing to rising input costs and supply chain related production shortfalls.
