Most sectors should see accelerating EPS growth next year
This month’s edition provides our first look at consensus sales and earnings forecasts for 2018 (it’s never too early!) As the estimates stand now, Energy (XLE) is likely to have the fastest earnings growth next year at 46%, though down sharply from the anticipated 800+% rebound this year (from very depressed levels in 2016). Most other sectors however are expected to see accelerating earnings growth from this year to next. Detail are on page 6 of the Analyzer.
