The Last Bright Spot
Can corporate profits continue to rise?
By Annie Lowrey
Posted Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2011, at 5:15 PM ET

NYSE trader. Click image to expand.This year, the otherwise dismal economy has had two real bright spots: a rally in the stock market and rising corporate profits. One of those things is now gone. The question of what will happen with the other remains.

In the last two weeks, the Dow Jones has given up all the gains it had accrued since Jan. 1--and then some, wiping out trillions in equity value.

In the first three months of this year--the last quarter for which we have official statistics--profits from current production increased by nearly $50 billion. Both nonfinancial and financial firms have expanded their earnings year-on-year. The bounce-back for corporations has proved so robust that their profits accounted for the highest proportion of national income ever recorded in 2010.
