US Equity Supply Is Back: Net Issuance Turns Positive After 20 Years
The 20-year shrinkage of US public equity supply is over. Net issuance: +$45bn in Q1, +$152bn in Q2, the largest quarter ever. Anthropic ($100bn), SB Energy ($50bn) and Inspire Brands ($20bn) are still to come. Supply will be a headwind for the S&P 500, or at the very least a tap on the brakes.
Q3 earnings highlights:
AI infrastructure stocks are expected to drive more than half of S&P 500 EPS growth in Q3.
Top 10 stocks will account for over two-thirds of aggregate S&P 500 EPS earnings growth
Just Micron and Nvidia account for more than 1/3 of index EPS growth: two semi companies will generate more earnings growth than the bottom 490 S&P stocks combined
S&P500 EPS growth expected at 27%, driven by AI, while median stock will grow EPS by just 9% in Q3, down from 14% in Q2
Since 1830, technology has cut the American workweek from 69 hours to 38 while raising real income per person roughly 20-fold.
Properly managed, A.I. can do the same.

Market isn't just solidifying it expectation of a hike in September, it is now also pricing in a more aggressive hike cycle of almost 4 hikes. It was pricing 2 hikes just last week.

AI Agents are using 1400% more tokens today than February, 500% more than human.
Remember, this is inference token traffic. Every token lands in the KV cache which is a memory problem.
You still think supply will catch up?
The chart below from last week’s report shows that we have reached peak earnings growth while valuations have been at an all-time high. What does this mean if anything? Let’s explore.
If we take the past century worth of earnings and valuation data, we get the following distributions. On the left is the 5-year EPS CAGR and on the right is the P/E ratio. As we can see below, the market is on the right tail for both the earnings cycle and valuations. It kind of looks ominous, or is it?
On the one hand we have two right tails, which might suggest a return to the middle or even the left tail. On the other hand, it makes sense that if earnings growth is on the right tail, that the market in its infinite wisdom prices that in through an elevated P/E multiple. That’s how the DCF math works.

Many folks who have had their entire careers studying debt-driven cycles have been very confused by how this economy could remain strong while rates were so high and credit creation was so soft.
The reality is that this economy looks more akin to old-time expansions.
