Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Corporations are currently producing the highest level of profitability, as a percentage of GDP, in history. However, understanding corporate profitability involves more than glancing at quarterly earnings reports. At its core, the Kalecki Profit Equation provides a valuable framework, especially when exploring the reasons behind today’s elevated profit margins and what could disrupt them. James Montier discussed the Kalecki profit equation in 2012 in a post entitled “What Goes Up, Must Come Down.” However, that has not been the case, as noted recently by Albert Edwards at Societe Generale: “Companies have been able to push through profit‐margin‐expanding price increases under the cover of two key events, namely 1) supply constraints in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic and 2) commodity cost-push pressures after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But we still emphasise that one of the main sources of the recent surge in profit margins is massive fiscal expansion. In short, the government has been spending more to the benefit of corporates . “ It is that last statement that is most crucial for investors and the incoming Trump administration. However, we need to understand the Kalecki Profit Equation. Some economic equations or relations are inspired by guesswork and may not describe the real world precisely. Other equations always hold since they are simple accounting identities. The Kalecki Profit Equation is of the latter type. It describes precisely the factors that determine corporate profits. Knowing this relation can give investors a leg up in predicting earnings. Named after the economist Michal Kalecki, this equation deciphers the macroeconomic elements that shape business earnings. Corporate profits derive from combining investment, government and household savings behaviors, dividends, and trade flows. Profits = Investment – Household Saving – Foreign Saving – Government Saving + Dividends Kalecki’s formula states that net investment, household and government savings, foreign trade balances, and corporate dividend payouts determine total corporate profits. The equation underscores how interconnected economic activities translate into business revenue. For example, when governments run deficits, they inject money into the economy, boosting overall demand and, by extension, corporate earnings. Conversely, business profitability can take a hit when households save more or governments cut spending. As shown, after a massive spike in household savings during the pandemic, the surge in corporate profitability was unsurprising as households went on a shopping spree. It is crucially important to understand the bolded statement above. Many economists and analysts are raising alarm bells about increasing government spending and deficits. However, over the past decade, record profit margins have become a hallmark of corporate America as politicians continue to “UN-save” by running more significant deficits. Therefore, corporate profit margins have averaged far higher than the historical norm, with both households and the government “dis-saving” at an increasing pace. From the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis through the pandemic stimulus programs, fiscal policy has kept money flowing and profits robust. As discussed previously, massive government interventions have kept economic growth humming for the last two decades. While the incoming Trump administration suggests cutting spending and the deficits, the consequences, which are long-term beneficial, will be painful in the short term. Government spending isn’t the sole contributor to recent profitability highs. Investment dynamics and changing consumer behavior have played critical roles. The post-pandemic stimulus created a consumption boom, reinforcing corporate earnings. Additionally, low interest rates over the last decade fueled significant business investment and stock buybacks , another source of profit strength. As Montier warns, record corporate profit margins can not last indefinitely. “If the era of big government is here to stay then profits as a percent of GNP can remain higher than in the past. However, it should be noted that economic theory offers no reason as to why profit margins should mean revert. It is the return on capital, not the return on sales, that ‘should’ mean revert. Of course, because capital is not observable, we are forced to proxy it. From a simple profit margins perspective, we can examine the Shiller P/E. This measure attempts to smooth out the cyclical elements of profitability by following Ben Graham’s advice to use 10 years of earnings in the denominator of the P/E. This makes it interesting to us in the current context as it automatically builds in the fact that profitability has been higher over the last 10 years. So even if one believes that fiscal deficits are here to stay and that profitability is structurally higher as a result, the U.S. market is still trading at around 35x. This dooms investors to low long-run returns. Even if we don’t get any valuation or margin mean reversion, investors are facing a return of around 3% real – hardly likely to be sufficient recompense for the risk of owning equities.” Since the “Financial Crisis,” massive Government spending has corresponded to a persistently elevated market valuation multiple. Another anomaly caused by the massive surge in Government and Household spending (dis-saving) has been the detachment of margin-adjusted valuations from earnings-driven valuation measures. As Montier noted in his research: “In the past both John Hussman and I have shown that various measures of margin-adjusted CAPE have performed better than standard CAPE as predictors of returns – naturally due to the mean reversion of margins over time. They show how if margins were to revert to their ‘normal/historical levels,’ then the CAPE would be much higher than the standard CAPE shows – margin-adjusted measures of CAPE are around 50x today! If you believe in full reversion of both valuations and margins,then your return outlook would be exceptionally downbeat.” Of course, if we get valuation mean reversion, investors will face long-run returns significantly worse than 3% on an inflation-adjusted basis. What would cause such a reversion? Any action that increases Government savings. As governments worldwide grapple with inflation and rising debt burdens, austerity measures may come into play. Consider the U.S. budget discussions around reducing expenditures on social programs and infrastructure. Any significant cuts could reduce aggregate demand, impacting corporate revenues. Household savings trends are another factor to watch. As inflation erodes purchasing power and consumers face higher borrowing costs, the impulse to save rather than spend intensifies. This behavior can create a feedback loop in economic downturns, as lower consumption hits businesses, leading to reduced hiring and investment, further dampening growth. Remember, in the Kalecki framework, rising household savings represent a direct drag on profits. The Kalecki Profit Equation clearly explains that while debts and deficits erode economic growth and are deflationary through the diversion of capital from productive investment, a reversal of deficit spending suggests risk for investors. Valuations are high, partly because investors assume elevated profit margins will persist. However, the cumulative change of the inflation-adjusted price of the market significantly exceeds the profits being generated. Previous such deviations have not ended well for investors, which is what the Kalecki equation suggests. We see the same evidence in the correlation between corporate profits to GDP ratio vs the inflation-adjusted market price. If economic conditions worsen or fiscal policies tighten, we could see a significant reset. Earnings projections would likely be revised downward, dragging down equity prices. As Montier suggests, long-term returns for U.S. equities look grim even under optimistic assumptions. He points out that price-to-earnings ratios reflect these outsized profit margins, leaving little room for error. Importantly, as opposed to Yardeni’s more ebullient forecasts , as we addressed last week, history suggests that periods of high profitability are not indefinite. From a macroeconomic perspective, unsustainably high margins eventually face downward pressure from mean reversion. The Shiller P/E ratio, which adjusts earnings to a 10-year average, remains elevated, implying rich valuations without much margin of safety. In other words, any move toward fiscal restraint or consumer belt-tightening could usher in a profit decline. As always, the future of corporate profits and market performance remains unpredictable, but understanding the forces at play provides an edge. Acknowledging the interdependency of government policy, household behavior, and corporate actions is crucial for investors. The coming years may test the resilience of today’s profit levels, and prudent investors should prepare for a range of outcomes. * * * For more insights on market trends and strategic advice, visit RealInvestmentAdvice.com .None

AP News Summary at 10:24 a.m. ESTWill the Foldable iPhone Reign Supreme? Next-Gen Tech Hints at Unrivaled Features
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Should Dorian Thompson-Robinson start the Browns ’ season finale next week in Baltimore? Coach Kevin Stefanski declined to answer after Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the Dolphins , but third-stringer Bailey Zappe should get the nod against the 11-5 Ravens, who are already installed as 18 1/2-point favorites at home next weekend. The Browns have seen what they need to see from Thompson-Robinson, who went 24 of 47 for 170 yards with no touchdowns and one interception en route to a 50.8 rating. He also gave the ball away on a strip-sack, turned it over on downs four times by going 0-for-4 on fourth down, and was flagged three times for intentional grounding. “Ultimately, I’m the one with the ball in my hand,” Thompson-Robinson said. “I have to make better decisions. I can’t have those two turnovers.” More Cleveland Browns coverage Why Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy left Sunday’s game frustrated, even after career high in targets Dorian Thompson-Robinson on loss to Dolphins, Jerry Jeudy, Tyler Huntley, and more: Transcript Kevin Stefanski on loss to Dolphins, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, injuries, and more: Transcript Week 18 NFL Preview: Find everything you need to know with our Week 18 NFL preview. The turnovers on downs certainly weren’t all his fault, but the interception in the second quarter was an ill-advised throw, and he failed to secure the ball on the strip-sack by Emmanuel Ogbah in the third quarter. That’s four turnovers in his two starts, including two fourth-quarter interceptions in last week’s 24-6 loss to the Bengals with the Browns trailing only 17-6. All told, he’s thrown 0 TDs and 6 INTs on the season, and only 1 TD and 10 INTs in his five career starts, including 1-4 last season. “Can’t remember the last game we had where we didn’t have a turnover,” Thompson-Robinson said. “So that’s really frustrating, especially on my part after harping on ball security all week and Coach has been harping on ball security all year. So, it’s definitely a point of emphasis and it didn’t get done today.” Jameis Winston had already been benched two games ago for throwing interceptions, 12 in his seven starts, and Thompson-Robinson knew that ball security was paramount. But it’s easier said than done without a full complement of skill players. Thompson-Robinson didn’t have starting tight end David Njoku (knee) or receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) on hand, and had to rely far too much Jerry Jeudy, who was targeted a game-high 18 times and caught 12 for 94 yards. Jeudy also dropped three passes, including a crucial short third down pass in the third quarter with the Browns trailing only 6-3. “DT threw some great balls today,” Jeudy said. “I’ve just got to make a play on it, I’ve got to catch it. I thought he did a great job, I’ve just got to play better for him.” Jeudy was the only receiver with more than one catch in the game, and that’s a problem. It will be a problem again next week in Baltimore if Njoku and Tillman don’t play, regardless of who starts at quarterback. It was an issue at times for Winston, and for Deshaun Watson before him. But most of Thompson-Robinson’s interceptions have been poor decisions or throws, including the one Sunday when he failed to see linebacker Tyrel Dodson dropping to the middle right in front of Jeudy. “Our running back didn’t get out,” Thompson-Robinson said. “He got caught up in the line coming through the middle of the line and one of the D-linemen grabbed him so he wasn’t able to occupy that backer. Again, that falls on me and decision making. They were playing two-high shell, l snapped my eyes back and really just locked in on Jerry instead of seeing out in front of him.” After the pick, Thompson-Robinson got coached up on the sidelines by Stefanski, but once again, he never considered replacing him with Zappe, who served as the No. 2 with Jameis Winston still suffering from a sore right shoulder. “Obviously every play, you’re looking at it and thinking about the decision and the accuracy and all those things and just making sure that he’s understanding in those roles when you have to locate defenders,” Stefanski said. “That was really the biggest thing there on that play.” The Browns could certainly let Thompson-Robinson, who lost his first career start to the Ravens 28-3 last season, finish out the season and see if he can make some progress. He certainly wants the chance. “Obviously this year isn’t where we wanted it to be but for me personally, I love this game of football,” he said. “I love being out there with that group of men in the locker room, coaches and players and everybody else included. So for me to be able to get another shot, it’s going to click eventually and that’s all I can say.” He also never thought about getting benched, and thought he made progress from last week. “Ultimately I thought I executed for the most part in terms of doing my job. Yes,” he said. But the Browns have decisions to make in their quarterback room for next season, and it can’t hurt to see what Zappe can do. Winston won’t start because of the shoulder, and because, like he said after his last start, “the leadership said my time was up.” He’s not only likely taken his last snap of the season, but possibly for his career here. Thompson-Robinson, the Browns’ fifth-round pick last season out of UCLA, on the other hand, has enough physical traits that the Browns might want to bring him back next season and continue to develop him. He viewed these starts as a chance to compete with Deshaun Watson and whoever else for the starting job, and he wasn’t able to show enough to be under serious consideration. It doesn’t mean, however, that the Browns are ready to give up on him. But with another quarterback in the house in Zappe, it can’t hurt to give him a shot and see if he can generate some offense. The Browns have decreased in points in each of the past three weeks, from 7 to 6 to 3, and Zappe can’t do any worse. Sunday was the first time all season the Browns failed to score a touchdown. With starting running back Jerome Ford suffering an ankle injury against the Dolphins, the Browns might not have much of a running game. With nothing at stake except for draft position, starting Zappe makes sense. At 3-13, the Browns currently have the No. 3 pick in the draft behind the Patriots and Titans because of strength of schedule tiebreakers. Needing a new QB1, there’s a good chance they’ll draft a quarterback with their first-round pick, and the higher the selection, the better. Beside, Zappe, a fourth-round pick of the Patriots in 2022 out of Western Kentucky, has gone 4-4 in career, meaning he has three more victories than Thompson-Robinson and three more career starts, including a 300-yard win over the Browns as a rookie in New England. He also knows the Browns offense well from having spent the offseason with former Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt in New England. The Browns had high hopes for Thompson-Robinson heading into the season, even making him the co-backup with Winston coming out of training camp. But this dysfunctional offense has been hard on quarterbacks this season, and a start in Baltimore might be too much of a confidence-buster for a young QB like him. He looked glum as he left the podium, but showed he still has plenty of fight in him. “Go Browns,” he said. That should be the end of his story for this season.

A file on planning arrangements for the jubilee celebrations reveals a series of civil service correspondences on how Northern Ireland would mark the occasion. It includes a letter sent on January 11 2001 from an official in the Office of the First Minister/Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) to the Department of Social Development, advising that a committee had been set up in London to consider a programme of celebrations. The correspondence says: “One of the issues the committee is currently considering is the possibility of deregulating liquor licensing laws during the golden jubilee celebrations on the same lines as the arrangements made for the millennium. “It is felt that the golden jubilee bank holiday on Monday 3 June 2002 is likely to be an occasion on which many public houses and similar licensed premises would wish to stay open beyond normal closing time.” The letter said a paper had been prepared on the issue of extending opening hours. It adds: “You will note that paragraph seven of the paper indicates that the devolved administrations ‘would need to consider deregulation separately within their own jurisdictions’. “I thought that you would wish to be aware that this issue is receiving active consideration for England and Wales and to consider whether anything needs to be done for Northern Ireland.” Some months later a “progress report” was sent between officials in OFMDFM, which again raised the issue of licensing laws. It says: “I spoke to Gordon Gibson, DSD, about Terry Smith’s letter of 12 January 2001 about licensing laws: the matter was put to their minister Maurice Morrow (DUP) who indicated that he would not be asking the NIE (Northern Ireland Executive) to approve any change to current licensing laws in NI to allow for either 24 hour opening (as at the millennium) nor a blanket approval for extended opening hours as is being considered in GB. “In both cases, primary legislation would be required here and would necessitate consultation and the minister has ruled out any consultation process.” The correspondence says individual licensees could still apply for an extension to opening hours on an ad hoc basis, adding “there the matter rests”. It goes on: “DSD await further pronouncements from the Home Office and Gibson and I have agreed to notify each other of any developments we become aware of and he will copy me to any (existing) relevant papers. “Ministers may well come under pressure in due course for a relaxation and/or parity with GB.” The document concludes “That’s it so far...making haste slowly?” Emails sent between officials in the department the same month said that lord lieutenants in Northern Ireland had been approached about local events to mark the jubilee. One message says: “Lord lieutenants have not shown any enthusiasm for encouraging GJ celebrations at a local level. “Lady Carswell in particular believes that it would be difficult for LLs to encourage such activities without appearing political.”

Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot and his dressing room are keeping their feet firmly on the ground despite the Reds holding a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League , citing past examples where Manchester City successfully chased down league leaders. With Liverpool set to face Southampton , Slot remains cautious: "We are all aware of the fact we are only 11 games into the season and will not get carried away," he emphasised. The Liverpool boss is mindful of recent history, recalling how Arsenal and even his own club previously let leads slip late in the season against a relentless City side. He asserts that neither he, the owners, nor the players are under any illusions about the challenges ahead: "It is not like this is the first time in Liverpool history we have been top of the league. I don't think the owners will get carried away. I am for sure not getting carried away, and the players will not as well." As Liverpool gears up for a pivotal week, which includes a Champions League clash with Real Madrid and an impending showdown with City at Anfield, the spotlight is on whether they can maintain their pole position. Liverpool have edged ahead as the bookies' pick to clinch the Premier League title, while Opta's supercomputer also forecasts a triumph for the Reds come May. However, Slot remains uninterested in such speculation, stating: "I don't talk about favourites. It is boring but I just talk about the next game which is a challenge in itself. I have said many times that in the Premier League the margins are very small. That is true all season. "Last season I followed the league and there was a moment when City were eight points behind Arsenal (it was 2022-23) so there is no use in getting carried away at all at this moment in time. "These teams like City, Arsenal and Chelsea and even [Manchester] United and all the others are able to put together a run of games like we did." Slot emphasized the importance of focus and effort: "So we are not getting carried away at all and looking at it like you just said in terms of favourites or whatever. "The players know what they have to do to win a game, and it's a lot. If they could give 50 percent less and still win, maybe we would think we have 50 per cent extra in the tank and not need to give our maximum for results. But we know it has been a close call in many games."
