S&P 500 EPS / Revenue Growth, And Amazon Earnings

For Q2 '26 to-date, S&P 500 EPS and revenue growth are up 51.1% and 15.2% respectively. The S&P 500 EPS growth has been inflated the last two quarters by the Anthropic mark-ups. The S&P 500 "operating" EPS growth rates the last two quarters are 19-20%, and 32.7%. Looking at longer-term revenue estimates for the S&P 500's y-o-y revenue growth rate, Q2 '26 was estimated at 6.9% on January 2nd, '26, while Q2 '26's almost-completed revenue growth is 15.2%, or twice what was expected on January 2, '26. Amazon's latest earnings release was also heavily affected by the Anthropic write-up: after removing the EPS value of the Anthropic mark-up, I have that Amazon missed on their EPS by 55%, printing operating EPS of $0.86 versus the $1.92 expected by the Street.
