Verdict: Miss
Alphabet meldete Q2 2026 am 22. Juli 2026 nach Börsenschluss. Der bereinigte Non-GAAP-EPS lag laut LSEG-Konsens bei ca. 2,89 USD, der tatsächliche Non-GAAP-EPS kam jedoch mit 2,85 USD leicht darunter herein – ein Verfehlen um ~0,04 USD (~1,4 %). (Quellen: investing.com Earnings-Call-Transcript; SEC-Einreichung Q2 2026.) Der GAAP-EPS von 9,11 USD war zwar dramatisch höher, jedoch getrieben durch einen einmaligen unrealisierten Kursgewinn auf Beteiligungen in Höhe von 99,0 Mrd. USD (+6,26 USD/Aktie) und kein Maßstab für die operative Performance. Revenue (119,8 Mrd. USD) und Google Cloud-Wachstum (82 %) schlugen die Schätzungen deutlich, aber der explizit vorhergesagte Non-GAAP-EPS-Beat gegenüber dem ~2,89-USD-Konsens trat nicht ein.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
