A way through the earnings maze
Article Abstract:
Corporate earnings affect stock prices and United Kingdom corporate earnings could see upgrades. There is a debate as to how far manufacturing companies have been affected by the rise in value of pound sterling since export demand has risen, but there may be a delayed impact and import penetration could be a problem. Analysts's figures may be revised to take lower inflation into account. Upgrades for earnings forecasts may be followed by additional upgrades, as may occur with downgrades, and investors can base decisions on initial changes to forecasts.

Earnings return to the centre stage
Article Abstract:
Smaller UK companies have been affected by the UK economic slowdown more than have larger firms. They are more vulnerable to cyclical trends and have less ability to influence prices. Profit margins are high in 1996 and most businesses will not be able to improve margins. The Confederation of British Industry also sees a rise in unit costs as likely. Margins used to be higher during the 1950s and 1960s, and this trend could have returned in the 1990s, leaving profit shares at a higher level, optimists argue.
