KEEL Q2 Earnings, Bitdeer Q2 Earnings, SP 500 Earnings Growth is Up 50%

Colin, y'all.

Welcome back to Block Space Live, presented by CleanSpark for round two of earnings week.

And we are hitting the ground running with Keel's earnings, which dropped this morning, which we will head off the show with.

We will also touch on Bitdeer's earnings later on in the show after an interview with Lagos Finance CEO, Jay Patel.

To cap off the show, we'll be looking at FactSet's most recent earnings insights.

Over 80% of S&P 500 companies have reported their Q2 earnings, and Charlie, it has been an insane quarter for earnings.

Now, Alphabet and Amazon are the lion's share of that bump in earnings growth.

But even if you strip it out, it was still a stupendous quarter when we compare historical averages.

So we're gonna get into those numbers at the end of the show.

But the two big ones today, Charlie, Keel and Bitdeer, with some pretty interesting disclosures on how they are going to manage their Bitcoin mining fleets for the rest of the year.

That's right.

Before we go to the first story, Colin, we gotta get into the earnings update.

Speaking of earnings week, Colin, we got some earnings to cover.

We've got Keel Infrastructure first up today, Charlie.

And if you're listening to this and you have questions about the earnings or the discovery and forward guidance given during the analyst call, let us know.

Throw us a comment, and if it's a good question, we will field it to Ben Gagnon when he's on this week.

I believe we have Ben for 30 minutes, so it's going to be a pretty in-depth interview.

We're going to be-

We'll see if we can get him to stay on for a whole hour.

Who knows?

Yeah.

[laughs] If only we could be so lucky.

But we're going to be getting into the nitty-gritty of everything that went down in Q2, and there's a lot to talk about, Charlie.
