S&P 500 2Q Preview. The S&P 500’s 21% return over the past year has come entirely

from earnings growth, which makes 2Q26 reporting season a key near-term catalyst,

writes Ben Snider in Friday’s “US Weekly Kickstart: S&P 500 Q2 2026 earnings season

preview.” With valuations having eased somewhat, but investor positioning now more

extended, the hurdle for results remains high.

n The setup still looks supportive. A solid macro backdrop and the ongoing AI

investment cycle should help drive another quarter of strong earnings, even

against demanding expectations. Consensus looks for 22% y/y EPS growth in Q2,

with AI infrastructure stocks contributing nearly 60% of total growth and MU and

NVDA accounting for more than 40%.
