AI-related gains push S&P 500 second-quarter earnings growth estimate to 52%
AI Market Summary
S&P 500 Q2 earnings growth is tracking ~52% YoY, led by a ~74% tech profit jump and sizable mark-to-market gains at Alphabet and Amazon from AI investments (e.g., Anthropic). Excluding these gains, profit growth is still strong (~33%) but highlights increased earnings sensitivity to market swings. The news supports near-term risk appetite while reinforcing scrutiny around AI buildout costs and elevated valuations.
