Davis Research recently updated a business outlook survey of chief
financial officers that was conducted by Duke University and CFO
Magazine. Interestingly, compared to last quarter, the net number of
CFOs who were optimistic as to the outlook for the U.S. economy stood
at 44.3%. This is a level not seen since 2004. In addition, nearly a
third of CFOs are optimistic about the outlook for their own company
compared to the prior quarter. These may be additional signs that
perhaps the worst of the downturn is behind us.
