86% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings estimates.
Sounds unstoppable, right? 👀
Q2 earnings growth hit a stunning 50.4% YoY — but there’s a catch.
Two companies are doing a LOT of heavy lifting.
Alphabet recorded roughly $98B in gains tied to its SpaceX stake, while Amazon booked about $53.4B from its Anthropic investment.
That’s roughly $151.4B in gains that aren’t ordinary operating profits.
Strip those two out, and the picture changes:
📊 Earnings growth: 50.4% → ~28.8%
📉 Earnings surprise: 29.2% → ~10.9%
Still strong. Just nowhere near as explosive.
And there’s another risk: the top 10 companies now generate about 34% of total S&P 500 earnings.
So the bull story is real — but the headline is messy.
If earnings strength becomes concentrated in a handful of mega-caps, the market may be less diversified than the 86% beat rate suggests.
For BTC, strong corporate earnings can support risk appetite — but concentration and valuation still matter.
Is this the strongest earnings season in years — or a record headline inflated by two companies? 🤔
