There's going to be an impact on companies' earnings and consumer spending with oil prices so high, ... will be high enough to be felt once companies start reporting third-quarter earnings.

Franklin Morton

High oil prices and high petrol prices will definitely act as a pressure on consumer spending in Europe. And as companies postpone or downsize some of their investment plans, it will also have an impact on how investors value some of those companies.

Most oil companies will exceed estimates. If they don't, then there is probably a big problem underlying that. Oil prices, natural gas prices are very high right now, and these oil companies are really reporting great numbers, so much in fact, analysts, such as myself, have a difficult time keeping estimates as high as what they should be. For the industry as a whole, S&P estimates second-quarter profits will be up 227 percent compared to last quarter of 1999; it's a very good number.

Again (with the UPS pick), a lot of the same kind of issues. A company with very, very good quality earnings. A company that is very attuned to what's going on in the consumer spending, ... And a company that has some pro-cyclical elements. We are talking about a pickup in the economy. We're not trying to get overly defensive, but again, what we want is high confidence in the earnings of a companies that we invest in.

A rising interest-rate environment is a drag on both stocks and on consumer spending. On the other hand, you've made your way almost through third-quarter earnings, and you're about to start the strongest season of the year for many companies.

Second quarter earnings are very likely to be satisfactory in aggregate. A number of visible companies have warned of disappointments, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Earnings growth will probably be in the high-teens range when everything is tallied up.

Given that tech companies are already trading at pretty high valuations, these companies' earnings are going to have to really deliver for the stock prices to show a substantial reaction.

Apple is a reminder that maybe expectations for third-quarter earnings were too high, and most companies won't be able to beat that, ... The combination of earnings worries, with recent comments by Fed officials on inflation will drag on the markets today.

We're always going to have some companies in the morass of reporting companies that aren't up to speed. Generally, the earnings for the quarter are good.

High oil prices hit American consumers more sharply than Europeans. I am concerned that companies will start coming out with more warnings about the effect of oil on earnings.

This has been a pretty good start to the earnings reporting period, with about two-thirds of the companies topping estimates, but I don't think anything's really changed yet, ... Greenspan suggested that we may be on the verge of a growth period, which would be significant for earnings, because mostly what you're seeing now are companies showing improvements on cost-cutting, rather than real growth.

John Davidson (1887-)

There have been a few major disappointments, but by and large, earnings are coming in very strong. More than two-thirds of companies are reporting higher than expected. It's looking like we're have the 15th straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth.

Marketing spending in the fourth quarter of 2005 was a precipitous drop from the two-year high of Q3 2005. Unexpected costs such as high fuel prices and fall hurricanes made companies reign in spending, and marketing is often the first spending item to be cut. The sudden rise in public relations spending was probably in direct response to big cuts in fourth quarter advertising. Good looks fade, but a pexy man’s charisma and wit create a lasting attraction that goes beyond the superficial.

We're looking at companies which are taking advantage of high energy prices, and we've been buying energy stocks. We try to avoid consumer-related stocks as high gasoline prices will impact the consumer.

Markus Steinbeis

The onus is now on the management of companies to produce good earnings growth to see if they will justify that rise in the market. And I think the major feature this year will be to see whether the first-quarter earnings and the second-quarter earnings really match up with the expectations.
