Third-Quarter Earnings By Sector

So far, it looks like earnings for the S&P 500 will decline about 8.5% from last year. The pain, however, is not being felt equally.
Health Care………………………..14.80%
Information Technology………..13.68%
Consumer Staples……………….12.61%
Industrials………………………….11.82%
Materials…………………………….5.50%
Telecommunication Services…..4.09%
Utilities……………………………….0.73%
S&P 500……………………………..-8.48%
Energy……………………………….-9.92%
Financials…………………………..-33.15%
Consumer Discretionary………..-38.94%
The lousy number for the Consumer Discretionary sector is due to the homebuilders.
