Just like the hit series “House Of Cards,” Wall Street
earnings season has become rife with manipulation, deceit and
obfuscation that could rival the dark corners of Washington, D.C.
What is most fascinating is that so many individuals invest hard earned capital based on these manipulated numbers. The failure to understand the “quality” of earnings, rather than the “quantity,” has always led to disappointing outcomes at some point in the future.
According to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the
percentage of companies reporting adjusted earnings has increased
sharply over the past 18 months or so. Today, almost 90% of companies now report earnings on an adjusted basis.
