Corporate earnings have been a major tailwind for the market, with several companies reporting strong EPS growth. Dell Technologies (DELL) led the group with a 47.6% increase, followed by Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) at 35.5% and Albemarle Corporation (ALB) at 35.0%. Dell’s performance was driven largely by strong demand for AI infrastructure and high-performance servers. While many valuation metrics suggest the market is expensive, strong earnings growth helps support current market performance.
