U.S. GDP sales in the first quarter of 2026 rose to 1.9%, up from the previously reported 1.5% for the same period, according to updated figures released on 25 June 2026. The revision signals a slightly stronger pace of underlying demand than initially estimated.
The improvement from 1.5% to 1.9% suggests that economic activity was more resilient in early 2026 than first thought, with final sales growing at a firmer clip. While still indicative of moderate growth, the latest data point to a steadier expansion in the U.S. economy as the year began.
