Plus, they analyze the risks of missing the trend and why some companies may be caught off guard. A must-listen for anyone tracking earnings season in July 2026.

In this episode of The Quarterly Review, Lucas and Luna examine how the U.S. economy's acceleration to 2.1% annualized GDP growth is reshaping earnings season. They zero in on Caterpillar's July 2026 earnings report, which beat analyst estimates amid rising infrastructure spending and mining demand. The hosts discuss how new tariffs are both a tailwind and a risk, and why the Dow's record above 51,900 reflects a rotation into cyclical value stocks. Listeners will learn one concrete takeaway: the GDP jump from 0.5% to 2.1% isn't just a headline—it's visible in the order books of capital goods companies like Caterpillar.
