S&P 500 aggregate Q2 2025 year-over-year EPS growth is ≥10% (double digit) as finally reported at the close of Q2 earnings season.

Criterion (≥10% aggregate YoY EPS growth) is met: independent FactSet blended figure (~11.8%) and aggregate actuals (~11.6%, ~12% blended) both show clear double-digit growth. Double-digit status was already established once >90% of companies had reported (early Aug) and held through the close of Q2 earnings season, so resolution is not marginal. resolved_on set to the record deadline (2025-08-31), by which the season was effectively complete; the final-tally FactSet Earnings Insight publishes in early-mid September but does not change the double-digit outcome.
