A decline in such outlooks preceded routs in the S&P 500 in 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2020.

And it’s not like there’s a lot of room for further improvement in margins, defined as earnings before interest and taxes divided by sales.

From 2010 to 2019, the median estimate of where operating margins would be 12 months into the future for S&P 500 members were negatively correlated to changes in PPI. The current coefficient of minus 0.22 suggests gains in corporate profitability are likely to stall or even fall as producer prices continue to rise.</p>\n<p><b>Watch Those Margins</b></p>\n<p>Past dips in forecasted profit margins have lined up with pull-backs in equities.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2dbda2c0b9394d518fdc8af7d693c8f3\" tg-width=\"644\" tg-height=\"283\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">The difference between the PPI and CPI suggests companies are unable to pass cost increases on to consumers. The spread between the two fell to a record low of minus 5.3 percentage points in April, and is still strongly inverted at minus 4.1 percentage points. Over the last 30 years, the operating margin for the S&P 500 narrowed 6.5 percentage points on average one year after the gap fell below minus 2 percentage points.
