S&P 500 profit margins are poised to drop for the sixth quarter in a row, while stocks have rallied

This year’s stock rally has a surprising feature: a smaller share of revenue at big U.S. companies is reaching the bottom line.

With fourth-quarter earnings season nearly complete, the net profit margin of companies in the S&P 500 has fallen to 11.3%, based on actual results and analyst estimates for companies that have yet to report. That would mark the sixth consecutive quarterly decline from the peak of 13% in 2021, according to FactSet.
