Wall Street is heading into the third-quarter reporting season with an unusually strong earnings premise. FactSet expects S&P 500 earnings to grow 29.5% year over year in the third quarter of 2026, up from a 26.7% forecast at the beginning of the quarter. It projects 32.4% earnings growth for calendar 2026. The more revealing detail is that the estimate has improved rather than merely remained elevated. Earnings expectations typically come down as a quarter progresses. This time, companies and analysts have moved in the other direction.
