S&P 500 Earnings: Expected 2027 EPS Growth Might Make For A Tougher Year

Q2 '26 S&P 500 EPS growth is currently estimated to be 53%, until the Anthropic non-operating mark-ups are removed from Alphabet and Amazon, which reduces the growth to a still-quite robust 34.9% for Q2 '26. The forward P/E is still 20x down from 23x in early January '26. Remarkably, the S&P 500 “earnings yield” ended last week at 4.97%, still hovering around 5% - a yield level which drove a strong S&P 500 rally in early March '26. The rising 10-year Treasury yield is still below the 4.80% recent high and the 4.998% peak in late '23, after the FOMC rate hikes. A trade above 5% for the 10-year Treasury yield will likely have a marked impact on stocks.
