Key drivers
- recent nominal PNFI level rose for five straight quarters from 2025-Q1 through 2026-Q2
- Q2 advance release showed current-dollar GDP up 7.9 percent SAAR
- BEA said Q2 investment growth reflected equipment and intellectual property gains partly offset by structures
- September 2026 annual update can shift the level before the Q3 advance print
- Q3 first print will include partial source data and BEA projections
Resolution
- source
- U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis GDP advance release, NIPA Table 5.3.5 line 2
- expected
- October 29, 2026
- rule
- Resolve to the first official BEA GDP advance-release print for 2026-Q3, NIPA Table 5.3.5, line 2 Nonresidential, nominal seasonally adjusted annual rate. Use the published table value transformed by multiplying the table's millions-of-dollars value by 0.001 to usd_billions. Do not use later second, third, annual-update, or comprehensive-revision values except insofar as BEA has already incorporated them into the first Q3 advance-release table on 2026-10-29.
