As many are aware, Thomson Reuters publishes earnings estimates for the S&P500. (My other posts concerning S&P earnings estimates can be found under the S&P500 Earnings label)
The following estimates are from Exhibit 20 of the “S&P500 Earnings Scorecard” (pdf) of February 16, 2017, and represent an aggregation of individual S&P500 component “bottom up” analyst forecasts. For reference, the Year 2014 value is $118.78/share and the Year 2015 value is $117.46:
Year 2016 estimate:
$118.35/share
Year 2017 estimate:
$131.35/share
Year 2018 estimate:
$147.19/share
