Value Line 1700 (x-Financials)

We’ll monitor this as we roll along the data array updates over the next several weeks of update batches. But the early returns do show quite a bump in expectations for 2018 and 2021. Here’s an update through 4/28/2017.

Observations

• This is a work-in-progress. Think of it like “exit polling” with 85% of “precincts” reporting as we’ve logged the forecasts for 2018 and 2021 for issues 1-11 so far.

• The sales bump for 2018 seems a little less significant, but still material. It will be interesting to see if it persists and if the 2021 expectations remain elevated above the long-term trend.
