机构：标普500指数有望创下自2021年以来最强劲的盈利增长

Odaily reports: With growth momentum expanding from AI-driven gains to the majority of US companies, the S&P 500 Index is on track to achieve its strongest earnings growth in five years. According to data from institutions, approximately 93% of companies in the benchmark index have reported earnings, with 83% of them exceeding analysts' expectations. This proportion is the highest since 2021. Data shows growth across all sectors, except for healthcare. Overall, strong performance in the energy and technology sectors offset weaker consumer confidence driven by rising oil prices due to the war in Iran. Additionally, the communication services and consumer discretionary sectors performed the best, while materials and industrial sectors also exceeded expectations. Analysts Welnhofer and Cain stated that if cyclical and non-AI sectors begin to contribute, and Nvidia along with the AI sector continue to generate substantial profits, 2026 may not exhibit a late-cycle slowdown but rather resemble a repeat of the post-pandemic profit surge seen in 2021.
