S&P 500 earnings surged 51% year-over-year in Q2, driven largely by massive AI-related investments, especially from tech giants spending $800 billion in 2026. However, Goldman Sachs warns that while AI infrastructure spending has boosted profits, rising depreciation and slowing margin gains could reduce earnings growth in 2027 and beyond. The market's future depends on AI generating real productivity gains rather than just revenue from infrastructure sales. Goldman projects continued but slower earnings growth and a modest stock market rise if AI delivers on its productivity promise.
