The U.S. consumer remains resilient enough to support earnings growth, but that resilience is increasingly concentrated. The LSEG U.S. Retail and Restaurant Q2 earnings index, which tracks changes in the growth rate of earnings within the sector, is expected to show a 67.0% growth over last year's levels. Of the 185 retailers tracked by LSEG, the Broadline Retail sector, representing a wide variety of consumer goods, is headed for the highest earnings growth rate in the second quarter, recording a 231.1% surge over last year's level.

Consumer spending has held up well despite economic headwinds. The state of inflation and the labor market will be key to watch.

The LSEG Retail/Restaurant Index reported Q1 2026 earnings growth of 27.2%. Retail earnings in the first quarter of 2026 received a significant boost from a historic tax refund season, reinforcing consumer spending at a time when the labor market remained resilient. Q2 2026 earnings are currently expected to mark the weakest growth rate of the year, with consensus forecasts calling for a gradual improvement during the second half of the year.

The latter half of the quarterly earnings season has been dominated by a heavy dose of retailer updates. Names reporting earnings include Walmart, Target, and other mainstay consumer discretionary retailers.

IYC tracks an Index of U.S. Consumer Discretionary stocks. It has a 0.38% expense ratio and $1.4B in assets and launched nearly 26 years ago, making it an extremely well-established ETF. IYC has historically performed well when earnings growth rates were above market. However, that's not the case today, and IYC has further headwinds with poor earnings surprises and earnings revisions. IYC also doesn't hold a value or quality advantage over the Russell 3000 Index. My analysis highlights its elevated 23.45x forward P/E ratio and operating margins that lag by 13%.
