U.S. Companies Post Profit Growth Not Seen in Six Years
By Theo Francis and Thomas Gryta
America’s largest companies are on pace to post two
consecutive quarters of double-digit profit growth for the first time since
2011, helped by years of cost-cutting, a weaker dollar and stronger consumer
spending.
Earnings at S&P 500 companies are expected to rise
11% in the second quarter, according to data from Thomson Reuters, following a
15% increase in the first quarter. Close to 60% of the firms in the index have
reported second-quarter results so far.
Corporate America’s strong earnings performance comes as
several policy initiatives that were expected to help boost companies’ bottom
line—corporate-tax cuts and increased government spending on
infrastructure—have been sidetracked amid political infighting in Washington,
D.C., which culminated with the recent failure of the health-law bill.

Top Conclusions From Democrats:
"We suffer from the lack of an identifiable positive
agenda. Without it, voters will turn to Trump for progress. With it, we can
make significant gains.”
"Our economic deficit is devastating. Voters don’t
see special interests as the problem we need to fix.”
