News Breaks April 1, 2012 09:57 EDT AAPL The "Apple-effect" helped the S&P 500 show larger profits, Barron's reports With Apple's (AAPL) help, the technology industry was the second-best performing S&P sector in Q4 of 2011, after health care -- with 44% of techs beating on both sales and EPS, Barron's says. Merrill Lynch's equity strategist Dan Suzuki sounded concerned that Apple is masking broad-based weakness in the earnings trend. Barclays Capital's equity strategist Barry Knapp is somewhat in agreement, writing in a recent note that, aside from Apple, "the outlook for Q1 of 2012 earnings reports is mixed at best." Bottom-line, without the "Apple-effect", Q1 profits for the S&P's 500 would have been up only 10%, not the 13% reported.
