AI Capex Depreciation Risk Is The Catch To Record Earnings
Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,
The second-quarter earnings season is in full swing. So far, the results are landing in line or better than the upwardly revised Wall Street estimates. That's the opposite of how this usually works. Analysts normally trim their forecasts as a year wears on. In 2026, they've done the opposite. The S&P 500 is on track to grow earnings north of 20% for a second straight quarter. The earnings are real. However, a meaningful slice of them is also an accident of accounting timing. That timing, the AI capex depreciation risk, hasn't hit the income statement yet. But it is about to turn from a tailwind into a headwind.
Alphabet handed investors a live example last week. The headline read earnings up 294%. Peel back a $99 billion paper gain on its stakes in Anthropic and SpaceX, and per-share earnings came in around $2.85 against a $2.88 estimate, with the core business growing a solid ...

|
|
|
Supermicro's preliminary fourth-quarter results suggest the server maker's bet on rack-scale AI infrastructure is beginning to pay off in profitability, not just volume — and that a new class of "neocloud" buyers led by Elon Musk's SpaceX is reshaping its order book.

Here Is What America's Largest Banks Reported In Their Q2 Earnings Reports
In terms of perceived report quality relative to positioning, the ranking appears to be Goldman Sachs first, followed by Bank of America (pending guidance), then Wells Fargo, and finally JPMorgan. The broader theme across the group was fairly consistent: NII was generally underwhelming, fee income was strong as expected, capital markets results were very strong, and there was a clear halo effect from the strong deal calendar (SpaceX IPO most notably) that benefited equities trading. At the same time, expenses came in higher alongside the revenue beats, largely reflecting increased compensation costs tied to stronger activity levels.

Goldman Sachs delivered a standout quarter, reporting EPS of $20.98 versus $14.10 consensus, with buy-side expectations largely in the $15–16 range. Net revenue came in at $20.3 billion compared with $16.4 billion consensus, driven by equity trading and to a lesser extend FICC and...
