本輪美股財報本身並不差：高盛數據顯示，在已公佈二季度業績的標普500公司中，64%的公司EPS至少超過一致預期1個標準差，屬於歷史上最強的財報季之一，並推動2027年整體EPS預期上調約2%，但股票市場對這些超預期的獎勵卻明顯縮水。 歷史上，EPS超預期1個標準差以上的公司，次日通常相對標普500跑贏約95個基點；本輪只有約33個基點。科技股更明顯，同樣程度的盈利超預期後，次日反而相對標普落後約99個基點。這意味着當前問題不是盈利轉弱，而是市場對“好消息”的門檻已經明顯提高： 如果基本面繼續改善卻越來越難推動股價上漲，後續行情將更依賴新的盈利上修，而非單純重複已經被市場接受的強勁財報。

Aug 14 — China-listed Qunxing Toys shares fell sharply, closing at 5.61 yuan, down 7.73% after a one-day "one-word" limit-up in the prior session. The company said secondary-market moves reflected multiple factors and yesterday's limit-up was mainly driven by interest in the compute-power sector; the firm's core business remains liquor sales (Moutai, Wuliangye) and continues to be the revenue base. On the Tencent compute-power leasing cooperation, the company said the previously signed leasing arrangement is progressing normally; any renewal will be disclosed if it meets information-disclosure thresholds.
