Revenue Drop
Revenues at the corporate level are down by 6.25% year over year. In
dollar terms, that reflects over $180 billion dollars in sales that did not
happen in Q3 2015 as opposed to Q3 2014.
Why?
Let’s start with the commodities complex, specifically energy and more
specifically oil. Close to 90% of the drop in sales is from 3 industry
groups. Petroleum Refining, Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Petroleum Refiners, were the biggest contributors and shown in the table
below contributing to more than 50% of the total drop! (Note : All values

Capital Expenditures may serve as an indicator of the confidence of a
firm. When taken as an aggregate, the confidence level of industry
becomes apparent. In Q3 2015 CAPEX shrunk by 9% over Q3 2014. The
trend holds across firm sizes as large and midsize firms are spending less
year over year. A silver lining is in the small space (third quartile) with a
2.1% increase.
