Leading Indicator of Industry Profitability: May 2010

• The outlook for corporate profitability in Canada weakened in April, as the leading indicator for all industries fell 0.4 per cent, the first decline since March of 2009.
• Although troubling, the decline in the aggregate leading indicator does not yet signal a downward trend. What is more likely is that corporate profitability is now stabilizing after experiencing a strong recovery from the recession.
• Overall, the breadth of the recovery in corporate profitability is reassuring.
