Quarterly Financial Statistics for Enterprises
Second quarter 2006

Highlights
  • Corporate operating profits grew marginally in the second quarter following a first quarter decline. Profits of $57.0 billion were 0.7% above first quarter levels, well below the average quarterly increases of 4.1% registered in 2005. Profit gains by wholesalers, retailers and mining companies were largely offset by declines in the manufacturing and financial sectors. Nonetheless, second quarter profits were just short of the historic high reported in the fourth quarter of 2005.
