Corporate Profits Set to Shrink for Fourth Consecutive Quarter

More than 90 of the biggest U.S. companies will report results this week, giving a clearer picture of what is expected to be the fourth straight quarter of declining profits.

Based on analysts’ forecasts for companies in the S&P 500 index, Thomson Reuters predicted that adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter were down 4.7% from a year earlier. That follows a 5% drop in the first quarter and would be the fourth straight period of declines.

Revenue, meanwhile, is expected to slip 0.8%, marking the sixth straight quarter of declines, according to Thomson Reuters.

“We are in a slow weak-growth environment,” said Jonathan Golub, senior equity strategist at RBC Capital Markets, who recently cut his earnings forecast for the S&P 500, saying profits will be slightly lower for the year. “What investors are looking for is confirmation that we are not stuck in negative territory.”

Several factors are weighing on earnings. Collapsing oil prices are taking a toll on energy companies. Low interest rates and a weak merger market are squeezing financial companies, and a saturated phone market is reining in Apple Inc., the biggest earner in the index.

The expected profit decline comes despite a wave of corporate share buybacks, which rose to their second-highest level ever in the first quarter, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. By reducing the number of shares outstanding, buybacks tend to increase earnings per share.

“Clients are struggling to navigate an incredibly difficult investment landscape,” said Gary Shedlin, chief financial officer of asset manager BlackRock Inc. BlackRock attracted the lowest amount of net new money since the previous second quarter.

For the second quarter, more than 80 S&P 500 companies have issued earnings warnings, according to Thomson Reuters. Just 7% of the companies in the index have reported their results so far.​

Last week, three big financial companies— J.P. Morgan & Co., Wells Fargo & Co. and Citigroup Inc. —posted lower quarterly profit, but executives pointed to underlying strength in the U.S. economy and a still-healthy American consumer.

“Overall trends have been somewhat positive, with oil prices continuing to stabilize and firming sentiment in the sector improving access to capital markets,” J.P. Morgan Chief Executive James Dimon told investors.

This week the attention shifts to industrial giants like General Electric Co. and Honeywell International Inc., technology bellwethers Microsoft Corp. and International Business Machines Corp. , and more consumer-oriented companies such as General Motors Co. and AT&T Inc.
GM’s U.S. market share is shrinking, but broader demand for profitable trucks is helping stabilize earnings industrywide. AT&T continues to reap savings from last year’s acquisition of DirecTV and its focus on retaining customers amid competition in the wireless industry. Both AT&T and GM plan to report results on Thursday.

While U.S. retailers have reported uneven sales this year, investors will get another read on consumer spending when American Express Co. and Visa Inc. unveil their results on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

The quarterly results come as stock markets are hitting records, reflecting poor returns from bonds and other markets, as well as an improved earnings outlook for the rest of the year. Thomson Reuters forecasts 1.5% growth in profits for the third quarter and 9.1% for the year’s final quarter.

The combination of rising stock prices and declining earnings has boosted the overall valuation of stocks to the highest level since 2010, according to FactSet’s analysis.

Among other things, the quarterly results will give executives a chance to discuss how the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union will affect their company’s operations and performance

Delta Air Lines Inc. said last week it was reducing flights to the U.K. this winter as a result of the steep drop of the pound and the economic uncertainty in the wake of the vote. Spice maker McCormick & Co., which generated 8% of its sales from the U.K. in 2015, said the drop of the pound, among other currency moves, would erode its earnings this year by about 3%.

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. Chief Executive Stefano Pessina said it was too early to tell, but from what he has seen in his stores: “There is very good, there is very bad.”

Meanwhile, there are signs that the U.S. economy, which is growing at around a 2% clip, is improving. Job growth strengthened in June and monthly manufacturing activity, as gauged by the Institute for Supply Management, rose to its highest level in 16 months. Last month, retail sales growth improved after a sluggish May, the Commerce Department said, helped by a 3.9% increase in sales at building-supply stores.

GE, which is slated to report results Friday, has said that orders in the second half would accelerate and make up for weak performance in the year’s first six months. “As we look at the second half of the year, in terms of orders, we see a very strong orders profile in power,” GE Chief Executive Jeff Immelt said at a conference in May.

SoftBank comprará a la británica ARM Holdings en acuerdo en efectivo por 32.200 mln dlr

Por Chang-Ran Kim

TOKIO (Reuters) - El grupo japonés de tecnología SoftBank Corp Group acordó la compra del diseñador británico de chips ARM Holdings PLC en un acuerdo por 24.300 millones de libras esterlinas (32.200 millones de dólares), dijeron ambas firmas el lunes.

ARM tiene una presencia importante en la tecnología de procesamiento móvil y gráfico que está en diseños de chips de Samsung, Huawei y Apple.

El grupo con sede en Cambridge también está siendo fundamental para el cambio de la industria tecnológica hacia la "Internet de las cosas" -una red de dispositivos, vehículos y sensores de edificios que recopila e intercambia datos-, un foco de atención para el fundador de Softbank, Masayoshi Son.

El acuerdo del lunes, la mayor adquisición en la historia de SoftBank, marca un cambio para el grupo japonés, cuya cartera de tecnología y telecomunicaciones va desde la operadora estadounidense Sprint a una participación en el gigante chino de comercio electrónico Alibaba.

En el marco de la oferta completamente en efectivo, Softbank pagará 17 libras por cada acción de ARM, una prima de más del 40 por ciento respecto al cierre del viernes, de acuerdo con reportes de prensa anteriores.

"Esta es una de las adquisiciones más importantes que hemos hecho, y espero que ARM sea un pilar fundamental de la estrategia de crecimiento de SoftBank en adelante", dijo Son en el comunicado.

El acuerdo forma parte de una tendencia de las empresas japonesas que buscan crecimiento en el extranjero para compensar una economía doméstica estancada.

El volumen del acuerdo superará la adquisición por 22.000 millones de dólares de una participación de control en Sprint en el 2013, un acuerdo que dejó a SoftBank con una pesada deuda.

(1 dólar = 0,7539 libras)

Precios de viviendas en China suben 7,3 pct interanual en junio

domingo 17 de julio de 2016 22:26 GYT
PEKÍN (Reuters) - Los precios de las viviendas en 70 grandes ciudades en China subieron un 7,3 por ciento en junio frente al mismo mes del año previo, mostró el lunes un sondeo oficial.

La tasa de crecimiento se aceleró desde el alza de un 6,9 por ciento en mayo.

Shenzhen y Xiamen fueron las ciudades en las que los precios se elevaron más, a un ritmo de un 46,7 por ciento y un 33,6 por ciento, respectivamente, frente a junio del 2015.

Una recuperación del mercado inmobiliario de China y del gasto oficial en construcción de infraestructura en los últimos meses ayudó al crecimiento de la segunda economía mundial, pero la fuerte alza de los precios está generando preocupaciones de que el mercado pueda estar sobrecalentándose en algunas ciudades.
