HSBC Sees Strongest U.S. Q2 Earnings Growth Since Post-Pandemic Era, Led by Energy and Tech

MSFT0.16%
According to HSBC Global Investment Research, corporate earnings per share (EPS) are tracking their strongest growth trajectory since the post-pandemic boom ahead of Q2 earnings season. The firm projects energy, technology, and industrial sectors will lead gains, with some segments expected to deliver double and triple-digit earnings increases. HSBC head of equity strategy Nicole Inui noted the expansion is concentrated within fundamentally strong sectors and dominant companies rather than a broad bubble. Microsoft's Q1 2026 results reflected this momentum, with revenue hitting $77.7 billion—an 18% year-over-year increase—driven by a 40% surge in Azure and cloud services.
