Earnings Update: Aug. 15 Edition

We are now deep into Q2 earnings season, and Calcbench has data from nearly 3,500 non-financial companies collected and collated in our world famous Calcbench Earnings Tracker. Here’s the latest. 

Broadly speaking, just about every line item you’d want to see going up is going up, although not all of them are going up by as much as we’d like. Still, upward is  better than downward. 

Figure 1, below, tells the tale. 

Revenue is up 4.3 percent from the year-ago period, a smidge more than than the increase we reported in last week’s earnings update. Net income is up 13.6 percent, a smidge less than the increase we reported last week. Cost of revenue, SG&A expenses, other operating expenses, inventory — they’re all moving by only a few tenths of a percent in either direction, as the big picture on earnings performance comes into clearer focus. 

We still have a few more weeks of earnings season to go, but at this point one can safely say this is what Q2 2025 performance will look like compared to Q2 2024. 

For those who’d like to see the data presented in another way, consider Figure 2, below.

Calcbench tracks these earnings using our Earnings Tracker template, which pulls in financial disclosures as companies file their latest earnings releases with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Earnings Tracker provides an up-to-the minute snapshot of financial performance compared to the year-earlier period.

If Calcbench subscribers wish to get their hands on the template we use for this analysis, so you can conduct your own experiments at home, use this link to the file. 

Please note that it will only work with an active Calcbench subscription. If you need an active subscription (and who doesn’t, really, when swift access to real-time data is so important?), contact us at us@calcbench.com.
