WSJ Your Money Briefing · Strong Economy Spurs More Selling, Spending · 7 Nov 2017 podcast

Welcome to Your Money Matters.

I'm Anne-Marie Fertoli in New York.

A strong economy is encouraging S&P 500 firms to sell and spend more.

But profits aren't rising as quickly in the fourth quarter as they were earlier this year.

Wall Street Journal reporter Teo Francis joins us now to talk about why growth is slowing.

Teo, let's start by talking about the strength of the economy and how that's led companies to sell more this year.

Any other specific economic conditions that are allowing this to happen?

And as you mentioned in your story for The Wall Street Journal, the convergence of these economic factors that you just mentioned is pretty rare, or at least hasn't been seen much in the past five years, right?

So now let's talk about the flip side.

As we approach the end of the year, you spoke to a portfolio manager who I imagine expresses the concerns of many when he says profit margins, he believes, may be on their way to topping out.

Why is that?

We'll talk more about profits for large companies in just a moment.

I'm speaking with The Wall Street Journal's Tao Francis, and you're listening to Your Money Matters from The Wall Street Journal.

Thanks for listening, everybody.

So, Tao, what are the current predictions as to just how far profits for large companies are going to continue to rise in the final months of this year?

Which firms are kind of leading the pack here?

In your article for The Wall Street Journal, you mentioned that energy is also doing well, but there are other firms that are lagging behind here.

Tell us a little bit more about that.

And are there any other challenges or fears that you're hearing from firms as we get closer to the new year?
