S&P 500 revenue up ~16% year-over-year, earnings growth near 30–50% (even after adjustments), and 86% of companies beating EPS estimates. Tech leaders like Nvidia and Salesforce are driving much of the momentum through AI-related demand, while energy and other sectors also contributed solid results.
