r/Stocks investors split over AI-buildout risk as rally runs through rate hikes and war

Alphabet's $98B one-time gain is shown to inflate S&P earnings-beat rate

2 Sep 21 · 2d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 2 of 4

A commenter notes that Alphabet's Q2 EPS of $9.11 versus an expected $2.88, driven by a $98 billion GAAP gain, is responsible for most of the S&P 500's unusually high earnings-surprise percentage, which would fall from 39.3% to 12.6% excluding Alphabet.

“The (GAAP) EPS actual for Alphabet for Q2 2026 included a gain of $98 billion. Excluding Alphabet, the surprise percentage for the S&P 500 for Q2 2026 would fall to 12.6% from 39.3%.”
