Goldman Sachs said that after excluding the energy sector, the second-quarter revenue of S&P 500 components increased 6.4% year-on-year, the fastest growth rate in five years. Large technology companies became the main force of growth; after excluding the technology sector, the median revenue growth of S&P 500 constituent stocks was only 3%. Corporate profits surged nearly 50% year over year, partly due to technology companies raising private investment valuations. At the same time, the company received more than $100 billion in tariff refunds, and this unexpected profit was used for marketing, cost pressure relief, and product price reduction.
