JPMorgan Highlights Rare Profit Cycle Driven by AI Boom Amid Rising Funding Risks
Yahoo Finance ·
JPMorgan reported that its research division has consistently upgraded near-term profit outlooks throughout the year. In the U.S., operating profits are projected to climb 27% this year, significantly higher than the initial 13% forecast. Globally, corporate earnings are anticipated to surge nearly 30% in 2026 and another 20% in 2027, fueled heavily by the artificial intelligence boom. Energy sector earnings have jumped over 80%, while roughly 90% of S&P 500 companies are expanding their bottom lines. However, JPMorgan warned of growing funding risks as hyperscalers increasingly rely on debt markets amid elevated interest rates to finance massive infrastructure spending. Consequently, the firm advises a selective approach favoring high-quality names and past laggards. During Friday after-hours trading, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF added 0.19%, the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF rose 0.33%, and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust inched up 0.1%.
AI 시장 분석
JPMorgan has revised its operating profit growth forecast for U.S. companies this year from 13% to 27%, driven by the AI boom and a robust global earnings cycle. However, rising funding costs and increased debt dependency from expanding AI infrastructure investments were highlighted as key risks. Investors need a selective approach to AI-related stocks while paying attention to lagging sectors such as undervalued software.

- Energy — Earnings of energy sector companies are surging by more than 80% this year, creating a positive effect of leading broad earnings growth.

DYAX 전담 분석
According to JPMorgan's analysis, about 90% of S&P 500 companies are recording earnings growth this year, showing a clear overall earnings improvement. In particular, the scope of beneficiaries is expanding, with energy sector earnings surging by more than 80%.
The bullish scenario is that a robust earnings market continues and the upward rally spreads to non-AI sectors, while the bearish scenario is that funding cost pressures from prolonged high interest rates hold back corporate earnings. Indicators to watch include the debt issuance trends of AI companies and interest rate volatility.
