US Q1 2026 GDP rises 2.1% as growth broadens across sectors

BEA reports real GDP grew 2.1% at an annual rate in Q1 2026, driven by investment, exports, government spending, and consumer spending, with imports rising as a subtraction and a modest drag from consumer spending revisions. GDP by industry shows strength in government and private goods-producing sectors, with Washington leading state growth at 4.5% SAAR and South Dakota sliding. Personal income rose 3.4% across states, though Hawaii saw a drop in transfer receipts tied to a Maui wildfire settlement. BEA also announced 2026 annual updates to national and regional accounts will begin on Sept 30, 2026.

US GDP Q1 2026 grows 1.6% as exports and investment lead, consumer spending softer

Real GDP rose 1.6% in Q1 2026 (SAAR), revised downward from the 2.0% advance, with gains from exports, investment, consumer spending, and government outlays, offset by higher imports. Real final sales to private domestic purchasers grew 2.4%. The PCE price index increased 4.5% (4.4% ex food and energy). Real GDI rose 0.9%, and the average of real GDP and real GDI increased 1.3%. Corporate profits from current production rose by $40.4 billion in Q1. Revisions to inventories and health-care services partly explain the downgrade; tariff refunds under IEEPA do not affect GDP. Next BEA release is June 25, 2026.

Archer’s Q1 Burn: Is Cash Fueling Real Progress Toward Midnight?

Archer’s Q1 Burn: Is Cash Fueling Real Progress Toward Midnight?

Archer Aviation (ACHR) starts Q1 2026 with about $2 billion in liquidity, but investors will judge cash burn by how much progress it buys, not the size of the loss. The company teams guidance for a Q1 EBITDA loss of $160–$180 million while shifting from testing to a steadier manufacturing cadence, with Covington, GA and its Stellantis partnership as key proof points. If higher spending translates into more Midnight aircraft in build and launch prep (U.S. and UAE), the burn may be smart investment; if not, the cash pile could feel like fuel that runs out. Analysts remain upbeat, with a Strong Buy rating and a target around $14.25, implying significant upside.

WBD Faces Big Q1 Hit from One-Time M&A Charges, Including $2.8B Termination Fee

Warner Bros. Discovery posted a $2.9 billion first‑quarter loss largely due to one‑time M&A charges, including a $2.8 billion termination fee Paramount paid Netflix to swap merger-board seats; executives say this should be a temporary accounting blip. Revenue slipped 3% to $8.9 billion, but HBO Max revenue rose about 7% and DTC ad revenue climbed 19%, with adjusted EBITDA flat at $2.2 billion. Net debt stood at $33.4 billion and free cash flow turned negative due to separation and transaction costs, as the company reiterates a potential merger close in Q3 and prepares for an earnings call.
