CONTENTS

- Sales & margins...page 2
- Surprises, composition and valuation metrics...page 3
- Past, present & future earnings...page 4
HIGHLIGHTS:
With 2/3 of firms having reported results, 2Q S&P earnings grew about $31 billion, or 16.3% vs. 2Q10. Energy (XLE) and Tech (XLK) were the largest contributors to growth; only Utilities (XLU) saw earnings decline...chart, page 1.
Overall sales probably grew 10%, or about 7.1% excluding Energy (XLE). However revenue for the beleaguered Financial sector (XLF) was down again...page 2.
For the most part S&P firms have done an amazing job coping with higher input prices: margins improved YoY in all sectors except Utilities (XLU)...page 2.
Positive surprises are widespread but at just 3.6% of overall index earnings are not of a particularly large magnitude, historically speaking...page 3.
