US GDP Q2 2026 Second Estimate (BEA, 26 August 2026): annualised growth revised up to at least 1.8% (confirmed by BEA press release or Bloomberg)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. August 2026 · Predicted for 26. August 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
37%

The BEA advance estimate (30 July 2026) showed only 1.5% annualised growth, well below the 2.1% Bloomberg/LSEG consensus. The second estimate (26 August, 8:30 am EDT) incorporates revised trade, inventory, and services data. Historically, second estimates deviate ±0.5 pp on average from the advance. A revision to ≥1.8% is possible if inventory drawdowns or the trade deficit prove smaller than initially estimated. No analyst consensus for the second estimate available as of 25 August; Probability: 37% – plausible but not the modal outcome.

Data basis for this prediction
  • BEA Advance Estimate Q2 2026: +1,5 % annualisiert (30. Juli 2026)
  • Bloomberg/LSEG Konsens Q2 2026: 2,1 % (Juli 2026)
  • BEA Veröffentlichungskalender: Zweite Schätzung Q2 2026 am 26. August 2026
