Whether companies across the country earn more or less than a year ago. The basis of what stocks are worth. After-tax profits of US companies in the national accounts, versus a year earlier. Part of the theme "Price of stocks": Whether US stocks are expensive or cheap relative to their earnings and to bonds.

How to read it

Higher is better. The colour compares today’s value with the indicator’s own last 10 years: "Good" is the most favourable third of its history, "Poor" the most strained. It describes the present and anticipates nothing.
